Description
Welcome back to Book Club!
Are you living a life that looks “perfect” on paper but secretly feels misaligned, heavy, or strangely empty?
In this episode, Michelle discussed Finding Your Own North Star by Martha Beck. The book breaks down why high-achieving working women often feel overwhelmed even when everything looks successful from the outside—and how that inner discomfort is actually a powerful message from the parts of you that have gone quiet.
Listeners will learn:
- The difference between your social self and essential self—and how misalignment triggers burnout
- How to identify the activities that genuinely light you up (even if you think you’ve “forgotten”)
- Simple steps to follow your own North Star without making dramatic life changes
Hit play and discover how to reconnect with what makes you feel alive—so your life finally feels as good as it looks.
