What's in Today's Episode

Three powerhouse coaches—Molly Claire, Michelle Keil, and Maria Hendershot share their expertise on ditching the hustle culture, finding joy through creativity, and reclaiming your sense of self. We dive deep into why your relationship with yourself is the foundation for everything else, including raising confident sons who will become respectful men.

Why This Matters to You

Your teenage son is watching how you live, how you treat yourself, and what you prioritize. When you're constantly hustling, overwhelmed, and putting everyone else first, you're teaching him that's what adulthood looks like. But when you model self-care, boundaries, and joy? You're raising a man who will carry those values into his future relationships.

Stop feeling guilty about taking care of yourself. This episode gives you permission and practical tools to slow down, reconnect with who you are, and show your son what healthy self-respect looks like. You'll learn simple ways to regulate your nervous system, find joy in small moments, and break the cycle of perfectionism that's exhausting you.

Michelle Keil:

Michelle Keil, affectionately known as The Doodle Coach, is a Master Certified Holistic Coach and the creator of a unique coaching method who helps overwhelmed women quiet their inner critic, lighten their emotional load, and reconnect with who they truly are—through the surprisingly powerful tool of doodling. Her playful yet profound approach is faith-centered, science and evidence-informed, and rooted in years of training, including an Advanced Certification in Motherhood and Family Life. She weaves together creativity, faith, and nervous system-aware coaching to support women in finding grace in the margins of their lives.

Michelle’s signature programs include Drawn to Grace, a 5-day guided doodle practice to build self-compassion, and Draw Yourself In, a 12-week coaching experience for women ready to release perfectionism and rediscover their true voice. She also leads The Doodle Lab, a monthly creative space for reflection, connection, and nervous system regulation—no art skills required.

Whether through her courses, community, or one-on-one coaching, Michelle makes it safe, —and even fun—for women to let go of who they think they should be and remember who they already are.  Get more at Thedoodlecoach.com
