The Top 5 Pieces Of Bullsh*t You Need To Break Up With

Just posted all five on insta with very short commentary on each, but wanted to expand on them here. For today, let’s start with the first: Hey look, I get it. I’ve said it! It’s even been “true,” but only because I MADE IT SO. Art is intimate. It’s risky. Both creating it, and sharing it. As human beings, we naturally…

On Trigger Warnings, Safe Spaces, and Finding a Home in Yourself

When all you do is remove triggers from your environment, you don’t grow. I appreciate the sentiment behind a trigger warning. I personally have a number of triggers that can send me to an entirely different mental reality, totally derailing my day, week, month… I understand that there are some…

On the Importance of Finishing Strong

I’d been working toward my Master Certified Coach Credential for many years. On one of my first vision boards, I had “Michelle Akin, MCC” on it. You can’t see it in this video still, but you can see the board itself… I remember putting it up there and thinking, “will that actually ever happen?” It seemed wildly unachievable to me. …

Today, I honor myself as a mother to myself.

My inner parent didn’t used to exist. Then, once she did… she was mean. Everything was about judgement and punishment. It showed up in many forms: -Scolding myself for “bad” behavior, and always trying to whip myself into shape. -Never allowing me to just be me, full expressed and unapologetic. …

After reading this, I realize I already do this to help myself fall asleep (and sometimes I can't come up with the scene myself so I listen to audio books and try to let my mind get lost in the story) This is how I dealt with my mother having…

…le mode, I hyper-focus on something that I love, that excites me, and that makes me think a little. In my case, it was basketball and sex. Separately.

What do Harry Potter FanFiction and Life Coaching have in common?

Well, not much… unless you say so. And, I say so! It’s funny, my first coach gave me that phrase: “Because I say so.” So much of my life up until that point was lived from what other people said. Now, if you ask my big sister, she will tell…

Casual Only Exists Outside of Commitment

I only applied to one college. I was very casual about the whole process while my classmates were patently freaking out. (I didn’t want to go to college, I wanted to go to cosmetology school. My Mom forbid it. And she was scary about it.) Had my Mom said it…

Being Married Sucks

Today is my 6th wedding anniversary and I gotta tell you, marriage blows. What it essentially is is getting to know someone so well that you could successfully win a court case proving why they are the worst person imaginable. Like my husband, for example… He doesn’t side-seat drive, exactly…

7 Years and 7 Books

It was December of 2012, almost a full year after I had lost my Mom. I had been numbing out on a steady diet of cheese fries, video games, beer, and weed… not to mention obsessively listening to Harry Potter on audio book. One of those not so fun facts…
