Hey, hey! I’m Michelle, your no-BS guide to making life easier with simple, stress-less Life Systems. If you’re tired of feeling like you’re constantly juggling all the things (without a single extra hand to catch what’s falling), you’re in the right place.

I’m a wife, mom, chronic illness girlie, and mental health advocate who’s been through the chaos and figured out how to navigate it without losing my sh*t 💩 (most days). I love sports, crafting, the MCU, and a solid rant about the nonsense of toxic productivity, so expect a little bit of all that in this podcast 😏.

Through Simplifying Life’s Beautiful Bitchiness, I’m here to give you real-life strategies, the occasional sports or movie reference (because why not?) to help you build a life that actually works for you, without the burnout, without the BS.

Fun Facts About Me:
Favorite MCU quote? “The arrogant never do.” ~Thanos
Best life lesson from my husband? “Take what the defense gives you.”
Preferred form of therapy? Crochet, a 90s playlist that hits just right, and a hot cup of tea.
What you won’t find here? Toxic positivity, cookie-cutter advice, or me acting like I know everything.

So grab a drink, take a breath, and let’s simplify the chaos, together. 🥰🧡
