Beyond The Hustle: Why I’m Choosing Integrity Over Growth Tactics
Let’s build community, not FOMO. Today I removed the paywall so you can access information, wisdom, and healing with no strings attached. It's time to shift the paradigm. Blessings x
I Don’t Want To
Over the last few days, I have come to the realisation that I don’t want to.
I don’t want to build a million followers by doing XYZ.
I don’t want to manipulate people; to create FOMO - goodness knows we all have enough anxiety already; or create clever schemes to entice you to separate from your money.
I don’t want to post in notes, threads, podcasts, articles, etc, according to a timeline or risk missing out on engagement and new subscribers.
I don’t want to be the writer that has no time to respond to reader’s comments.
That is not why I joined Substack.

I am Here
I’m here because I learnt generously from my Higher Self and the Higher Selves of those I worked with through years of clinic practice. This information is for all of our good and the evolution of humanity. I want to write, to share, to contribute.
My passion for equity does not lend itself to exclusion. (I have always wondered - what if the most talented, compassionate and insightful person for the job of President or Prime Minister was poor?)
We are Here
It is no coincidence. We are here to connect. All connections and interactions are ‘meant to be’ and I am thrilled that we get to meet once again in while in a physical form in this dimension and at this particular point in our evolution - even if only on the ‘net. What a waste of an opportunity for joy and expansion if I choose to block our connection. (Just writing this gives me goosebumps and makes my heart full!)

No More Paywall
And so today, I opened my archives and removed the paywall on all 242 articles - and more coming! (There may still be some commenting limitations on archived posts - it’s a lot to go back through and make individual changes but I’m working on it.)
Please listen to the meditations, read the articles, talk about them, ask me questions, share them, share your thoughts. Let’s meet on the level playing field of honesty, integrity, and transparency.
Then, if it feels right, I’d love your subscription.
What you Get…
As a Free Subscriber:
Regular insights to raise awareness and support ascension, messages from other realms, as well as healing meditations, and interviews with other awakened souls. This is the material of hundreds of hours of clinic session time and I’m excited to be sharing this with you!
As a Paid subscriber:
All of the above and
Receive a Working with Energy E-Book to your inbox. It contains many techniques for managing your energy, the energy within your space, as well as techniques to hold the integrity of your vibration when with others. I hope that you find it a useful and informative tool.
You will also join me in supporting the Fred Hollows Foundation to end avoidable blindness among those most disadvantaged. 44% of your contribution is forwarded to the foundation. Hollows proved that health care doesn’t need to be expensive - today, $25 can restore sight to one person.
He was blind to race, colour, gender, age, religion… - the imagined differences we humans create. May we each have the vision we seek to see our Divine goodness.

Wish you could Offer Energetic Exchange?
Sometimes we are not in a position to commit to a paid subscription, and there are still things we can do to create energetic exchange. The give-and-take of energy matters - whether it’s our time, money, support, or kindness. When we contribute to something, we send out energy, and when we receive, we take in energy. In a balanced exchange, both sides benefit, creating a flow of positive energy - harmonious energetic equation. If you find an article resonates, here are some suggestions:
A One-Time Payment of your Choice
Buy me a cup of chai (my favourite!), refill my inkwell, update my clickety keyboard - it’s not quite as old as the one at the foot of this article!, share the love, send good vibes and make my day!
An Energetic Offering
Include me in your prayers for a harmonious earth. Namaste! I appreciate you.
A Click
Click the ❤️ to raise the profile of Love is Divine and share the message of love.
Leave a Comment
Apparently it raises our profile and more people see the publication. And I love to hear from you. x
A Share
Whether restacking or sharing to other platforms, help share the Divine message of All are One. Step by step and one by one, we transform the world.
Refer a Friend
Let others know about what you love - they may appreciate our community too. And a special thank you to the subscribers who currently do this - I value you and how you are helping to grow our community!
A Gift
Share Love is Divine with someone you know - I’ve gifted another Substack author’s subscription as a birthday gift. Perfect!
What I get…
To feel more deep gratitude for this lifetime and the opportunity to share it with you.
Sweet energetic flow.
The joy of an ever-growing community.
And, in the case of paid subscriptions or contributions, funding to support it to continue.
What we all get…
Growth, love, optimism, insight.
A high vibrational community where we can discuss all things metaphysical, feel reassured that we aren’t the only ones seeing dragons, and spend time with others who have insight into our topics and focus!

My Wish
I wish for us to be able to show we value what we receive in whatever form is possible, to create a new paradigm based on love and integrity, and to say goodbye to all the things we thought we had to do, the chasing of shadows to maintain our place in an illusory hierarchy.
Let’s bring in new earth together.
You are welcome here.
Blessed be

I’m sure I speak for all who have come in contact with you Michelle, either personally or through Substack in saying you’ve made a difference in this lifetime! I use your meditations regularly and keep the writings that seem to speak to my heart. I have also printed excerpts from articles to place around my home.
Your light & healing is a gift to the world. Congratulations on stepping away from the hustle and questionable tactics of social media.

I absolutely love this Michelle. Thank you for your generosity and for walking the talk. <3
