Welcome
Hey there! I’m Michelle, a writer and podcaster who left the tech world in search of a more meaningful life. My journey started with leaving behind a life I created around what I thought I was supposed to do and now I’m exploring what a life aligned with my values really looks like.
This includes moving out of software sales into creative entrepreneurship, taking a never ending sabbatical, fighting the addictive powers of social media and living intentionally in a way that aligns with my values. Come join this community if those sound like things you’re thinking about as well!
I also like to throw in some funny personal stories including my search to find the future Mr. Varghese.

Build A Wealthy Spirit Podcast
My sister, Sammie, and I released an episode of the Build A Wealthy Spirit podcast for four years. I’m so proud of the impact it had on our listeners who shared their stories of improving their personal finances and making choices to create a life that aligned with their values. The podcast incidentally catalogued major changes in my life. From losing my job, living with my parents for a year, moving to a small remote desert town to my move to the East Coast. Our personal stories are a time capsule of our experiences. However, what we share about personal finance, self development, sabbaticals and spirituality are timeless.
