  • 224: Twelve Minute Convos w/ Michelle Lewis

Michelle Lewis-

My old life had a lot of visible, but invisible moments.

Having a Dad who raised me around the Hollywood Elite, I went to college to study Film + Television, entering the world I was very familiar with at age 20.

There were fun moments, sure. But there were also really hard ones. Like my acting coach, {well known actress, actually} who told me I wasn’t pretty enough + was too overweight to ever be on camera.

So, as any young lady not totally sold on her worthiness would do, I retreated into the shadows…for awhile.

I became a Stand-In for well-known tv shows like “Melrose Place“, “Numbers“, “Pretty Little Liars” + “Chuck“. I would have little glimpses…moments of just a smidge of limelight, where I’d run away again. I was in the environment – close enough to touch it, but too afraid to truly step out on my own.

I remember the day I got the call that 1. My song was going to be on “Pretty Little Liars” for their 100th episode, + 2. The TV pitch pilot I had written was a ‘go’ to shoot. Was I ecstatic? YES. Did I believe I would succeed? NO.

It took a lot of time for me to realize that I was *this* close to my purpose. That I’d gone through all of this muck because I was destined to help other women with similar wounds + nerves step out onto their deserved red carpet! And then…

  • I started treading water in the crazy sea of online entrepreneurship
  • I realized I had huge gifts of administration + soaked up every piece of information I craved like a sponge
  • I built e-courses, sites, systems + brands with ease
  • I coached women how to rock their livestreams
  • I showed them how to create gorgeous, impactful videos

My rudderless ship of life transformed into a steel vessel {with a heck of a captain’s chair} – with a clear course charted ahead.

I never want another woman to feel that powerless, lost or like a failure. That’s why I pull them out of that world + into this beautiful one that I created. A world full of self-love, chosen joy + purposeful abundance.

The kicker? The power’s been inside of us all along!
