Now I’m in North Myrtle Beach, the same place my husband proposed eight years ago. And through every move, one thing became clear: home is where you make it.

More than that, every experience shaped who I am and what I value.

From soaking up the sun in West Palm Beach to becoming a mom in Port St. Lucie during a global pandemic while juggling grad school and a leadership role, life was intense.

Then came Atlanta. Eight months of hustle before realizing it wasn’t home.

Hi, I’m Michele! But let’s rewind for a second...

➡️ Seven years.
➡️ Six moves.
➡️ Four states.

It’s been a wild ride!

I left my family and friends in New York and started my career as a teacher in Columbia, SC. In 2015, I went fully remote before remote work was even a thing.

Feeling stressed? You’re not alone. As humans, we push through, glued to screens, forgetting to pause. But real productivity comes from balance. Step away, take a breath, get fresh air—your mind will thank you. A quick reset boosts energy, focus, and clarity. How do you regain your focus?
