HIGHLIGHTS:

Micheline opens up about investigating generational abuse at 23 and how motherhood forced her to face her own inherited parenting patterns. (1:40)

Micheline introduces Integral Theory and how subtle shifts, not grand gestures, spark deep transformation by meeting people where fear is stored. (6:10)

Micheline shares where she begins when addressing the whole human: not with a goal, but with a topic. (8:06)

Fear wears many masks: anxiety, rage, numbness. Micheline helps us decode its signature in our body and reframe it as a wise teacher. (10:09)

Using Dr. Robert Kegan’s “competing commitments,” Micheline shows how the very thing holding us back might hold the key to unlocking forward movement. (11:27)

“Numb is a feeling too.” We explore why disconnection from the body is often protection and how Micheline uses her own somatic awareness to sense what clients can’t yet name. (13:21)

From the “accomplished prairie dog” to the “devoted heart compass,” Micheline shares how imagery become doorways unlocking deep unconscious patterning. (14:22)

Micheline reflects on her belief of “I’m not smart enough” and how unprocessed childhood rage revealed itself during her coach training. (17:11)

We talk about the shame of big emotions and what changes when a loving witness helps you stay present instead of suppress. (19:40)

Beyond fight, flight, or freeze lies a more nuanced map. Micheline explores Gabriel Kram’s Neurobiology of Connection and states like appease, accommodate, and collapse. (25:19)

Want to control your kids, your partner, politics, or the food system? Micheline guides us through a powerful hand exercise to soften that grip. (27:50)
