A GROUP COACHING EXPERIENCE
Honoring your intuition, well-being, and zone of genius is the new business plan.
IS THIS YOU?
You've built a business
that takes care of everyone
except you.
The advice said: serve your audience. Solve their pain points. Show up consistently. So you did — and you're exhausted. Your business has become another place where you abandon yourself.
THE SHIFT
What if your desires
were the entire plan?
Not the strategy. Not the niche. Not the content calendar. You — your healing, your overflow, your authentic self — become the business model.
HOW THIS IS DIFFERENT
I don't teach
business as usual
In the health world, there's a conversation about how the health system failed women. For decades, women's bodies were considered too complicated to study. Hormones fluctuate. Cycles add variables. Clean data was harder to get.
So researchers ran the trials on men, published the results, and applied them to everyone.
I think the same thing happened in business.
The way a woman actually works — guided by intuition, by her body, by her natural gifts — doesn't fit tidily into a blueprint. Some weeks she can build an entire product in three days. Some weeks she needs to lie down and do as little as possible. That's not noise in the data. That is the data.
Which means the work isn't finding a better blueprint from the next trending expert. It's becoming the expert on YOU — collecting your own data, noticing your own patterns, learning what's true for you across a month, a season, a year. What you're capable of when you honor your own well-being. Which tasks drain you no matter how well you plan them.
You never needed someone to hand you a blueprint.
You just needed to be in a room where you could hear yourself think, tune into your emotions, and say yes to desire.
this is not more to consume
This is the support you’ve been craving
You know the pattern. You join something, and every month there’s a new mountain of content for you to consume. Eventually, keeping up with it replaces knowing what you actually need.
I built Say Yes to Desire the other way around. Just the support you need, and the space to hear yourself think.
what you’re used to
what happens here
There is no curriculum here. That’s on purpose.
You’re not behind. You have everything you need. And there’s nothing to catch up on. There’s only the practice of saying yes to yourself until it feels safe.
The Say Yes to Desire Planner
This is where you become the expert on you.
In Say Yes to Desire, we believe that our well-being is worth millions. So this planner starts with YOU, not your task list: what season your business is in, where your body is in its cycle or its energy levels, how much your day can actually hold. Use it for a few days and something shifts. You stop abandoning yourself to get things done, and you start noticing how much better everything goes when you put yourself first.
What’s in the planner
- Your day at a glance. Body energy, business season, moon phase, and the sky.
- An honest read on your time. What you’ve worked, what your tasks still need, how far past your limit you’ve planned.
- A focus timer. Built around working as little as possible.
- A daily spell breaker. Coaching that names the pattern under your overworking and helps you set it down.
- Four acts of self care a day. Plus a place to build your own library of your favorite self care videos.
- Permission to put things down. Delete, defer, or reprioritize when the day asks for less.
Easy Peasy Podcast Studio
This is where you practice having a voice.
I think a podcast is one of the most valuable things a woman can have in her business right now.
- The messier and more spontaneous the episode, the more obvious it is that a real person made it.
- You get to be in your listener’s ear while they’re cooking or walking, instead of asking them to sit down and watch a screen.
- Saying what you really think out loud, week after week, is how you stop keeping your opinions to yourself.
- One episode leaves you with thousands of your own words to build the rest of your content from, which is a very different starting point than a blank box and a prompt.
What the studio does for you
- Record in your browser. Or import audio you already have.
- Transcribe with one click. This is where your emails, posts and blog start.
- Edit and polish. Trim clips, set a saved intro and outro, add transitions, clean up the sound.
- Notes on screen while you record. So you never lose the thread.
- Publish or download. Straight to Spotify for Podcasters, or just take the MP3.
- Turn it into more. A YouTube-ready video, plus Pinterest, landscape and square graphics.
- Nothing to install. Nothing leaves your device, and it’s only for Say Yes to Desire students.
The Tea Parties
This is where you get to hear what you think and feel.
We’ve all been trained to look outward. Someone else’s framework, someone else’s ten steps, until we can barely hear our own thinking. This is the opposite: one intimate tea party call a month, no agenda, no homework. Just presence, and a room of women getting still enough to hear what they actually want, and saying it out loud.
How the calls work
- End of every month. 5pm GMT, on Zoom.
- At least six live calls. Guaranteed with your purchase.
- Nothing to prepare. Bring a question, a decision, or nothing at all.
- Twelve months of replays. Yours the moment you join.
- Replays last a year. To protect everyone’s privacy.
The 30 Day Abundance Adventure
This is where you stop asking your business to carry everything.
A business runs on your relationship with money. If the programming underneath still says scarcity, the business inherits it. And your business was never meant to be your only source of income. This is an immersive thirty days on making, saving, and investing, so that what you’re building is true financial freedom.
What the thirty days include
- Three coaching call replays. How and why I invest in index funds to build wealth outside my business.
- A money guide. Exactly how I track, invest, and spend.
- Thirty days of journaling, video and audio. The mentors and mindset shifts that healed my relationship with money.
- Everything to work in. A Notion journal hub, a printable journal, an intentions workbook, and a tracker.
- Start and restart anytime. As many times as you need it.
Everything here is built to bring you back to yourself and help you work as little as possible. Nothing here is built to keep you busy.
Why this isn’t a subscription
I’ve run a call every month for five years, and I keep updating this program. So why not just charge monthly? Because a monthly subscription would put us both on a content treadmill, and then you’re either drowning in the constant stream of new workbooks, modules, and homework, or feeling bad for not keeping up. I didn’t want that for either of us. So you pay once, and I show up every month because I want to, not because a subscription needs feeding. That’s also why I’m still doing this after five years. There’s no overdelivering here. I show up as myself and give from my overflow.
everything you should know before you join
- One payment. Nothing renews.
- The planner and the podcast studio are yours to keep.
- At least six live tea parties. I’ve run one every month for five years and I plan to keep going. Six is just what I’ll promise in writing.
- Call replays last twelve months. Women say real things on these calls, and I’d rather that not sit on a server forever.
- If the program ever changes or ends, you keep your access.
The price has been the same for five years.
That changes this December.

The Business Ecosystem tool is your quarterly check-in on the six areas of your business. You mark where each part stands today, and you get an at a glance view of how your business is doing and what is asking for your attention next.
Hi, I’m Michelle
For 8 years, I had all the knowledge and all the work ethic — and I was stuck making "just enough to survive." I was following a script that said I had to take care of everyone else first.
In 2020, a mentor told me: "Look at your trauma." That's when I found the missing piece. I needed to learn how to feel safe saying yes to my own desires.
When I started honoring what I actually wanted, everything changed. The breakthrough wasn't a new strategy. It was the radical act of believing that my desire was reason enough.

I’M ABLE TO SUSTAIN MY BUSINESS WITHOUT A TEAM OR LONG HOURS
Your most authentic self doesn't build a business on scarcity, hustle, or deprivation. She grows it from the overflow that occurs when you meet your own needs, do the inner work, and trust your desires.
What happens when
women say yes

ELLE
-
"besties"
“This group is by far my favorite group! Whenever I do not join a call, I always feel unaligned. And even though we're friends virtually, I feel like all of my besties are in the room! Thank you so much Michelle for creating this beautiful group!”
ELIZABETH
-

"Can't recommend enough"
"The community in Say Yes to Desire feels like a home away from home. I am growing as a person because of this community and I am so happy that I found you guys in this vast see of information online. This community has a personal connection you cannot get from just watching from afar. Being in the room is that important to getting the energy in the room and adding to the energy in the room. Can’t recommend Say Yes to Desire enough."

LETITIA
-
"the safe space"
"This has been the safe space I've needed while navigating my online business. I've encountered a lot of "business advice noise" while building my biz, and I began to lose sight of what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. Through Michelle, the resources she provides and the community we all have co-created, Say Yes to Desire has shown me that I deserve to build my business (and my life) my way."
KEEGAN
-
"like an Oasis"
"I am non-conventional! That’s the way I approach my creativity and how I move in the world. Say Yes to Desire reminds me that adults can allow their inner child to come out and play and ignite the desires that are so often trapped inside of us. Many times what I want can be stifled by the voices whispering from hustle culture. Working with Michelle is like an Oasis…a redirection to keep showing as the person I desire to be!"
ANGIE
-
"a great foundation"
"I'm so excited to be a part of Say Yes to Desire. I've finally decided to start my own business. I don't know what it will be yet, but I know SYTD will give me a great foundation to build on. I'm so grateful for you."
