The Beauty in the Mess

Michele Simms

The Beauty in the Mess Podcast is about rewriting your story. You feel like others (or yourself) have boxed you into a specific role, but you know that is not who you truly are. Then it’s time to give yourself permission to start showing up as you are, rewrite your story, and allow yourself to grow. Your mission may be to establish connections to like-minded people, align with your soul’s true desire, reconnect to your faith, overcome fear, find your voice, or restore your health. Regardless, it is time to reclaim who you are and who you were meant to be. Join me, Michele Simms, and let’s take this journey together.
