Who Are You When Life Doesn't Go to Plan?

Have you ever felt like life changed so much that you no longer recognised yourself? In this solo episode of The Michele Roys Show, I share one of the biggest lessons my journey through chronic pain and invisible illness has taught me: our identity is never meant to be built on our health, our career, our achievements, or the roles we play. Through my simple Past, Pause & Purpose framework, I invite you to reflect on who you were, who you are today, and—most importantly—who you're becoming. If you're navigating chronic illness, grief, career change, retirement, empty nesting, or simply a season that hasn't gone according to plan, I hope this episode reminds you that your circumstances don't define your worth. I'd love to hear from you:Who are you becoming in this season of your life? I'd genuinely love to read your reflections. If this episode encouraged you, please LIKE, COMMENT, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE. Every share helps someone else who may be quietly wrestling with these same questions discover that they are not alone. 📖 If you'd like to read more of my journey, my memoir, But You Look Just Fine: My Journey to Rediscover Joy Amidst Chronic Pain and Invisible Illness, is available at www.micheleroys.com [http://www.micheleroys.com].

Feeling Weary? This Might Just Help

Sometimes we don't need another podcast telling us how to do more. Sometimes we just need to pause. As we begin a new month, I wanted to do something a little different. In this episode, I'm simply reading Psalm 23 and sharing why these words have carried me through some of the hardest seasons of my life—living with chronic pain, navigating invisible illness, and learning that sometimes God really does "make us lie down" so He can restore us. If you've been feeling tired, overwhelmed, anxious, or like life has been a little too heavy lately, I hope you'll take ten minutes, slow down with me, and simply listen. Maybe these words are exactly what your heart needs today. 💛 In this episode we reflect on: • What "He makes me lie down in green pastures" means to me now • Why slowing down isn't giving up • Trusting God when we can't see what's ahead • Finding peace in difficult seasons • How God restores our soul, one step at a time As I was recording this, I kept thinking about how easy it is to rush into a new month with another long to-do list. Maybe this month, instead of striving, we simply begin by resting in God's presence. I'd love to hear from you. ✨ What part of Psalm 23 speaks to you the most? Or simply leave a 💚 in the comments if this episode encouraged you. If you know someone who's carrying a heavy load right now, would you share this episode with them? You never know who might need this reminder today. If you're new here, welcome.

Mid-Year Reset: How to Let Go, Set Intentions & Find More Joy

Halfway through the year, it's easy to focus on everything you haven't done. But what if this season isn't about pushing harder—what if it's about resetting with grace? In this solo episode of The Michele Roys Show, I guide you through three powerful reflection questions and my RESET Framework to help you release what no longer serves you, evaluate what matters most, set meaningful intentions, embody courage, and tune into joy. I also share some personal reflections from a year that hasn't gone exactly according to plan and the lessons I've learned about resilience, flexibility, and self-compassion along the way. If you're feeling stretched, discouraged, or simply ready for a fresh perspective, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and move forward with greater intention. 💛 Join the #MidYearReset Challenge and tag @MicheleRoys to share which part of the RESET Framework you're focusing on. What is one thing you're releasing, and one intention you're carrying into the next six months?
