Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Michele. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.
Alright, Michele thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. How did you come up with the idea for your business?
I have always wanted to start my own business online because at this stage in my life and with all of the life experiences and wisdom that I have gained, I feel that it is time to share my knowledge of health and wellness with the collective.
I have had to overcome many adversities in my life from anxiety, to the passing of a parent, being a 22 year Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor and moving from the East Coast to the West Coast one year ago.
My business, Shelly Inspires, LLC Health & Wellness Coach is a worthwhile endeavor because as a health and wellness coach, I am passionate about helping individuals achieve their wellness goals and improve their overall quality of life. I believe that everyone has the potential to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life, and I am dedicated to supporting my clients every step of the way. I have extensive training and experience in the areas of nutrition, exercise, stress management, and lifestyle modification, and I use this expertise to develop personalized wellness plans for my clients. Whether someone is looking to lose weight, manage a chronic health condition, or simply adopt healthier habits, I work closely with them to help them achieve their goals.
In my personal opinion, I feel that I am solving a problem that perhaps another coach is not solving because we are all different. Many of us have not had to endure what I had to endure and that is what makes us unique. I know that I am a unique coach because I have a empathic and intuitive style to my work and I can feel that I am able to guide that client to live their best life because I am able to see the light in them. And this is what excites me about my business. To inspire the collective to live their best life.
Michele, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?
For those who are reading about me for the very first time, as a coach I am highly optimistic about the world and I have always wanted to be of service to others. I love inspiring others on their health and wellness journey and give them the support they need to live their best lives.
One of the things that sets me apart as a health and wellness coach is my commitment to creating a supportive, non-judgmental environment for my clients. I believe that true wellness comes from a place of self-love and compassion, and I strive to foster this in each and every one of my clients. If you’re ready to make positive changes in your life and improve your health and wellness, I would love to be a part of your journey. Whether you’re just starting out or have been on the path to wellness for a while, I am here to support you and help you reach your full potential.
What I am most proud of is that I encounter so many wonderful people in my life on a daily basis and when we get to talking, I feel a connection with them, and if need be, and if they are open to it, I will offer some guidance on the issue/issues that they are experiencing at that time. I am a great listener, provide positive and/or constructive feedback and inspire them to live their best life one day at a time. When you want to make a change in your life, you can not go at 100 to get there. There are small monthly goals that need to be accomplished first before we can progress to the next stage.
How did you build your audience on social media?
I have been on social media for several years now inspiring the collective with. my positive posts of support and encouragement. And it was not until I decided to generate my own YouTube Chanel and make videos that I started to see some traction with views. Also, I noticed that once I began making 60 second short videos, that more people were starting to view my content. I strive for the best in myself, and I do not follow what everyone else is doing because I am unique and have a very different style to the way that I support and guide the collective on their health and wellness journey.
If anyone is interested in building their social media presence for the first time, I would suggest not watching what everyone else is doing and concentrate on what you are putting out there to the collective. We are all unique and have different styles. You do not want to be like everyone else, because that is what sets you apart from the rest. Just be you and you message will resonate with those who seek you out.
We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.
Approximately 6 years ago, I started my online business as a Healthcare Advocate specializing in cancer care. I started that business online because at that time I was a 16 year Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma survivor and wanted to advocate for those who were at the beginning stages of their cancer diagnosis,
During that time, I had attended a few networking events to put myself out there and share my story of survivorship.
Even though the business did not work, I was able to have a social media presence and was invited to share my story with a cancer community. So all in all, when something does not work out the way that we want, there is always something bigger and better for us. I have always been a resilient person and made the choice to take away what I have learned to try a different approach in the future.
