166. Hot Mess Magic with 3/5 Manifesting Generator Michelle Burke

podcast Mar 03, 2026

There are seasons in business where everything feels like it’s falling apart.

The money feels tight. The plan isn’t working. The version of you who used to feel confident suddenly feels unsure. And in those moments, it’s easy to believe you’ve failed.

But what if the mess isn’t proof that you’re off track?

What if it’s proof that you’re evolving?

In this week’s podcast episode, I sit down with Michelle Burke, founder of Hot Mess Magic, for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on the show. We talk about the reality of entrepreneurship, the parts most people don’t post about.

Car repossessions. Frozen bank accounts. Losing housing. Deep personal trauma. Identity unraveling.

And instead of sugarcoating any of it, we talk about what it actually takes to move through those seasons and come out stronger.

The ABCs of Becoming “Her”

One of my favorite frameworks Michelle shares is what she calls the ABCs of Becoming Her:

Acknowledge and accept where you are.
Not where you wish you were. Not where you think you “should” be. But where you actually are.

Be present.
Before you try to force change, fix everything, or jump to the next level, regulate your nervous system. Feel what you need to feel. Get grounded.

Do and embody.
From that regulated, clear place, you take aligned action. And over time, you embody the next version of yourself.

This isn’t about bypassing hard seasons. It’s about understanding that identity shifts don’t happen in comfort, they happen in the messy middle.

You Are the Common Denominator

One of the most powerful parts of our conversation is the truth that’s hard to swallow:

We are often the thing standing between us and the next level.

Our patterns. Our conditioning. Our fear. The stories we tell about money, worth, and what’s possible.

But that’s also empowering.

Because if you’re the common denominator, you’re also the one who can shift it.

If You’re in a Messy Season…

If you’re on the edge of something new…
If your identity feels like it’s cracking open…
If you know there’s more for you but can’t yet see the full path…

This episode will meet you exactly where you are.

It’s not about pretending everything is fine.

It’s about trusting that even this, especially this, is part of your evolution.
