Shownotes

Michelle records from the physio parking lot with energy she hasn't had in weeks—because she's talking about clothes. This episode is part fashion therapy, part origin story. She unpacks why she still shows up every day, sharing outfits with no affiliate links, no store, and no financial incentive: because a habit built in a basement four years ago never went away, and because getting dressed is still the thing that sets her day. From the local boutique collab, she waited three weeks to accept until she had spent money saved, to stepping on a scale for the first time in four years (183 pounds, and she'll take it), to the real reason Bombshell closed—she bit off more than she could chew the same year she left nursing and started real estate. And if you need one thing for your summer wardrobe, it's a skort. She's very serious about this.
