#131:How to Create More Time for What Matters Most with Michelle Niemeyer

MENOMORPHOSIS

Have you ever wished for just ten more hours in the day? I know I have!
With all the roles we juggle, it’s no wonder so many of us are running on empty. The mental load is real. And when your day-to-day doesn’t bring you joy? That’s burnout waiting to happen.

In this episode, I’m joined by the brilliant Michelle Niemeyer, who shares her story of navigating burnout during a high-pressure legal career—while also managing divorce, perimenopause, and an autoimmune disease. Now, at 60, Michelle says she feels better than ever.

She shares how she made the courageous leap to a more joyful, spacious life—and how you can too. We talk about her beautiful philosophy called The Art of Bending Time, which is all about reclaiming your energy, your focus, and yes—even your hours.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

• Michelle’s journey from burnout to feeling the best she’s ever felt
• What it really takes to leave a high-achieving career and follow a deeper calling
• Her powerful method for reclaiming up to two hours a day
• Why joy isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s a compass
