When Loss Breaks You Open – Britt’s Story

This week’s conversation with Britt Michaelian reminded me that healing doesn’t always look like progress

This week on The Life Shift Podcast, Britt Michaelian shares how the back-to-back losses of her mother and sister became the catalyst for deep healing, intuitive transformation, and a complete shift in how she creates and connects. Her story is raw, spiritual, and full of heart.

Sometimes, we don't realize we're in the middle of a shift until everything stops. For Britt, grief didn't just bring heartbreak. It brought clarity. It asked her to pause, listen inward, and let go of the structure she once clung to. In that stillness, she found a new way of showing up – as a frequency artist, as a healer, and as a mother who leads with intuition.

3 Things to Think About

  1. A pause doesn't always mean you're lost. It might be the first step toward coming home to yourself.

  2. Creativity can be a form of healing – not just for you, but for the people who witness it.

  3. Our intuition often speaks softly. Sometimes, loss is what finally makes us quiet enough to hear it.

2 Things to Ask Yourself

  1. What would happen if I stopped trying to hold it all together?

  2. Where in my life could I make space for stillness or sacred pause?

1 Thing to Try This Week

Choose one moment each day to intentionally pause. No phone, no input. Just sit, breathe, and notice what comes up.

Grief is messy. So is healing. But Britt's story reminds us that we're allowed to transform in the middle of it all. Listen now or hit reply – I'd love to hear what resonated most with you.
