This week on Thrive Beyond Size, we’re lightening things up with a more personal, vulnerable episode. Michelle shares how her intuitive eating journey unexpectedly led her into the world of tarot cards, moon rituals, crystals, and meditation—and why she now embraces practices she once would’ve rolled her eyes at.
Far from being flighty or irrational, these “woo woo” practices helped her anchor into her body, slow down, and reconnect with a part of herself that had been buried beneath the hustle of medicine, productivity, and diet culture.
In this episode, you’ll hear:
- The surprising story of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer tarot deck that started it all
- Why slowing down was the most powerful shift in Michelle’s healing
- How intuitive eating helped her reclaim a sense of spirituality and play
- The feedback loop between spiritual connection and body trust
- Specific practices Michelle uses to stay grounded in her body (yes, including Reiki for her dog!)
Whether you’re curious about spiritual practices or simply want a fresh perspective on what healing can look like, this episode invites you to explore what might be waiting in the space you create when you slow down.
Reflection prompts at the end to help you connect with your own intuition
