13. From Survival Mode to Self-Worth: How to Realign Your Energy & Reclaim Your Joy

Your Worth, Your Way

In this heartfelt episode, I’m joined by Michi DeLucien - life coach, energy healer, and vibrant midlife Mompreneur - for a soul-nourishing conversation on what it really means to live in alignment.

Michi opens up about growing up in a loving but emotionally complex home, navigating toxic relationships, and the moment she realised she deserved more. Through her story, we explore the power of energy healing, the importance of nervous system regulation, and the everyday practices that help us reconnect to our bodies and our worth.

We dive deep into why so many women feel stuck, overwhelmed, and out of touch with themselves - and how we can begin to change that by tuning in and shifting our energy from the inside out.

If you’re craving more ease, joy, and grounded confidence, this episode is your reminder: You are worthy of more. And it starts with your energy.

Key Takeaways from This Episode:

✔ Everything is energy - what’s going on internally will show up externally

✔ You can’t think your way to clarity if your nervous system is dysregulated

✔ True alignment begins with safety in the body - start with grounding practices

✔ Setting boundaries is a powerful act of self-worth

✔ Small, daily rituals like breathwork and gratitude can create big energetic shifts
