We’re continuing our “When the Going Gets Tough” series today with Michaela Boehm, an internationally renowned expert in intimacy and relationships.
In December of 2017, Michaela experienced one of everyone’s worst nightmares. While teaching and traveling abroad, she learned that her home– including all her animals– was lost to the Thomas Fire in Ojai, California.
In the final weeks of finishing her book and with only one suitcase remaining of her belongings, when Michaela returned home to the ash and rubble of her beloved home, she embarked on a long journey of healing and rebuilding.
Michaela’s joining us today to share an intimate look inside what that time was like for her and the key daily practices and mindset shifts that helped her through such a heartbreaking time.
Known for her work with high-performing individuals, Michaela’s ongoing private clients include Oscar-winning actors, multiple Grammy-winning musicians, producers, and business pioneers. She’s the author of “The Wild Woman’s Way” and the founder of The Non-Linear Movement Method®, a powerful somatic release modality. Her work has recently been featured in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Netflix Show “Sex, Love & goop” and Will Smith’s bestselling memoir ‘Will’. She lives on an organic farm in California where she rescues and rehabilitates animals.
This conversation with Michaela is the third of six I’m hosting over the next several weeks. Together, we’re diving into stories of several prominent women who weathered various life challenges– and found ways to keep showing up for themselves, their loved ones, and their careers.
I offer these to bring support and inspiration to all traversing similar dark valleys in their own lives or work AND to celebrate the arrival of my new book, Handbook for the Heartbroken, into the world on May 7.
