Hi, I’m Michaela!

I am a Certified Enneagram Coach, a Writer, and the host of Your Story Matters Podcast.

In my previous life, I was a Musical Theatre actor and life has a way of completely changing you + you’re left to pick up the pieces. 

I certainly know what it is like not to feel seen and understood. 

I understand firsthand how envy has shaped my outlook on my life and others and how nasty that can be.

I am an expert on struggling to find my purpose in a sea of stuckness and trying to stay afloat.

With my newfound passion for the Enneagram, I want to encourage other artists, creatives, and the misfits of the world: you are seen. You have a story to tell and it matters.

  • Enneagram

    The Enneagram is a powerful tool that will take you on a deep dive into your personality to reveal how you think, feel, + behave the way you do. The Enneagram can provide language for the quirks you thought were negatives that are superpowers! It will open your eyes to your inner world + the world around you as you learn to navigate how to see the hero in yourself + others while learning to handle the villain-like tendencies.

More About Me…

A lover of books, writing, letters, and all things Downton Abbey, I was born in the wrong century! “Less is more” is a phrase I say all the time and need it tattooed because I believe in it so much. As an Enneagram Type 4, I relate to feeling deep emotions, having large amounts of empathy, and eating my feelings in a pint of ice cream (dairy-free).

My degree is in Theatre Performance and I thought that was what I’d be doing forever… but life has a way of changing the narrative (can anyone relate?). Suddenly I found myself stuck on an endless cycle of “What on earth am I going to do with my life!” I was so lost; feeling hopeless and desperate to do something with my life that mattered.

While I’m no longer in theatre, I still have a tad bit of the arts in me and I enjoy the beauty of life while knowing there is brokenness in the everyday. I still firmly believe I’m an introvert, even though close friends would beg to differ on occasions.

I went into coaching because I remember the countless people in my life who offered their time, wisdom, and shoulder to cry on listening to my tales of woe and gently giving me the advice to help make me into the person I am today. I want to be that for you. The most meaningful life you can have is a life devoted to helping people (yes, you are free to retweet that.)

Get your coffee ready (I’ll be drinking decaf), a journal/pen, and an open heart, and let’s get started by discovering and re-discovering the wonderful person that you are and all you have to offer.
