Awaken to the Now: Finding Freedom Beyond the Thinking Mind | #10
What if the greatest obstacle to peace isn't your circumstances—but the constant noise inside your own mind? In this solo episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips invites you to step off autopilot and rediscover the freedom that exists in the present moment. Building on this season's exploration of consciousness, she challenges one of our deepest assumptions: that we are our thoughts. Instead, Michele reveals how learning to observe your thinking—rather than becoming consumed by it—opens the door to greater peace, clarity, creativity, and authentic leadership. Through personal stories, practical exercises, and powerful mindset shifts, Michele explores why so many of us spend our lives rushing, reacting, and replaying yesterday while missing the beauty unfolding right in front of us. She shares simple practices that help quiet the mind, reconnect with your body, and cultivate the awareness that transforms not only your personal life but your leadership as well. In this episode, you'll discover: Why you are not your thoughts—and why that realization changes everything How unconscious thinking fuels stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion Practical ways to become more present through breath, awareness, and conscious habits Why conscious leaders respond instead of react How slowing down creates more creativity, wisdom, and joy Small daily practices that help you awaken to the life you're already living If you've been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or disconnected from yourself, this episode offers a gentle invitation to pause, breathe, and remember that your greatest source of freedom has been available all along: this moment. Because writing your outcome doesn't happen in yesterday's regrets or tomorrow's worries. It happens when you awaken to the only moment where your life is actually being lived—right now.

Are You Leading Your Life… or Just Reacting to It? | #7
What if the most important person you'll ever lead... is yourself? In this episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips explores why so many intelligent, successful people still find themselves overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected. The problem isn't a lack of knowledge or ability. It's that we've become experts at managing everything outside ourselves while neglecting the one thing we truly have control over: our own inner world. Drawing from more than 25 years of coaching Fortune 500 leaders, Michele shares the three qualities that set conscious leaders apart in an increasingly reactive world. She explains why true leadership begins with self-awareness, how emotional regulation creates better outcomes than emotional reaction, and why purpose will always outperform pressure. In this episode, you'll discover: Why self-leadership is the foundation of every great leader How to respond instead of react during challenging moments The difference between creating from purpose versus performing under pressure Why presence is more powerful than perfection Simple ways to reconnect with your intuition, inner wisdom, and authentic leadership If you've been feeling like you're constantly chasing the next achievement, reacting to the noise around you, or searching for more peace in your personal or professional life, this conversation offers a different path—one rooted in awareness, alignment, and intention. Because writing your outcome doesn't begin when the world changes. It begins the moment you choose to lead yourself first.

Stop Trying to Fix Your Life. Start Here. | #6
What if the peace you've been searching for isn't somewhere out in the world... but within you? In this episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips explores one of the most transformative shifts we can make: reclaiming our inner territory. While so much of life encourages us to control the economy, social media, other people's opinions, and the uncertainty around us, Michele reminds us that the only place we truly have authority is within ourselves. Drawing on decades of leadership coaching and her own awakening journey, Michele shares why our thoughts, emotions, attention, and energy create the foundation for every outcome we experience. She explains how mindfulness isn't about escaping reality, but about courageously facing it, becoming aware of the stories we tell ourselves, and choosing responses that align with who we truly want to be. In this episode, you'll discover: Why your inner world shapes your outer results How to stop trying to control everything outside yourself The connection between your thoughts, emotions, and personal energy Practical tools to cultivate mindfulness, presence, and emotional awareness Why true leadership always begins with leading yourself first If you've been feeling overwhelmed, distracted, or caught in a cycle of worry and reaction, this conversation offers a practical path back to peace, clarity, and conscious living. Because writing your outcome begins the moment you stop chasing control and start reclaiming the only territory that has ever truly belonged to you: yourself.

The Awakening: 5 Signs You're Unconscious | #5
What if the biggest thing holding you back isn't your circumstances—but your level of consciousness? In this thought-provoking solo episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips explores the difference between living consciously and unconsciously, and why awareness may be the most important skill you can develop in both your personal and professional life. Drawing from her own awakening journey, Michele shares how consciousness impacts everything—from the way we lead, communicate, love, and make decisions, to how we respond when life doesn't go according to plan. She challenges the common belief that intelligence, success, wealth, and power automatically equate to wisdom, revealing why true growth begins when we become aware of the patterns, beliefs, and fears that are quietly driving our lives. In this episode, Michele walks through: Five signs you may be operating unconsciously Five signs you're growing in consciousness The difference between reacting and responding Why fear, ego, and the need to be right keep us stuck How conscious leadership creates trust, innovation, and psychological safety Practical ways to become more present, self-aware, and aligned If you've ever felt like you've outgrown old ways of thinking, questioned what truly matters, or sensed there's a deeper level of fulfillment available to you, this episode is an invitation to pause, reflect, and awaken to what's possible. Because writing your outcome begins when you stop living on autopilot and start creating your life with intention.

In this episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips sits down with Frederica Peterson, award-winning executive coach, leadership architect, and author of Inquisitive Leadership: A New Approach to Cultivating High Performance. Together, they explore why curiosity may be the most underutilized leadership tool in today's workplace.

Through what she calls courageous curiosity, leaders can move from control to connection, unlocking higher performance, stronger engagement, and greater innovation across their teams. Michele and Frederica dive into the relationship between vulnerability and leadership, why many adults lose the curiosity they naturally had as children, and how our deepest breakthroughs often lie on the other side of the questions we're afraid to ask.

What if the thing holding your business back isn't strategy... but identity? In this deeply personal episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips shares the unexpected lessons she learned while navigating her own growth plateau. From moving to the Hamptons and confronting feelings of comparison, insecurity, and external validation, to experiencing what she now recognizes as a profound spiritual awakening, Michele explores the hidden challenges that can emerge even when life looks successful on the outside. She opens up about the pressure to achieve, perform, and prove yourself in a world obsessed with status, productivity, and appearances. More importantly, she reveals how true growth often begins when external success stops satisfying the deeper needs of the soul. This conversation is about more than business. It's about identity, consciousness, alignment, and the courage to stop chasing validation and start listening to your inner wisdom. Michele shares practical insights for recognizing when you've outgrown an old version of yourself and how to navigate the discomfort that comes with stepping into what's next. If you've hit a plateau in your business, career, or personal growth journey, this episode may help you discover that the breakthrough you're seeking isn't found in doing more.

What If The Greatest Challenge Facing Our World Isn’t Political, Economic, or Technological—But a Crisis of Consciousness? Crisis of Consciousness | #2
What if the greatest challenge facing our world isn’t political, economic, or technological—but a crisis of consciousness? In this episode of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips explores the growing disconnection many people feel from themselves, each other, and what truly matters. Inspired by a remarkable group of Buddhist monks who walked more than 2,300 miles across America carrying a simple message of peace, Michele invites listeners to consider a powerful question: What energy are you bringing into the world? This thought-provoking conversation dives into overthinking, emotional mastery, personal energy alignment, and why so many people are living from their minds while disconnected from their hearts. Michele shares how our constant focus on doing, achieving, and proving has pulled us away from presence, intuition, creativity, and joy. You'll learn why you are not your thoughts, how to recognize the voice of the undisciplined mind, and simple ways to reconnect with the deeper wisdom already inside you. This episode is an invitation to become more conscious, more present, and more intentional about the energy you bring to your work, your relationships, and your life. Because writing your outcome begins when you stop reacting unconsciously and start leading yourself from awareness.

Season 2 Premiere: Conscious Leadership Starts Within | #1
What if success without alignment is the very thing exhausting you? In the Season 2 premiere of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips opens the door to a deeper conversation—one that bridges the gap between business, spirituality, energy, and conscious leadership. After 25+ years working with high performers, Michele shares a truth she knows deeply: achievement alone does not create fulfillment. This season is about reconnecting with the soul behind the success, the human being behind the human doing. In this powerful solo episode, Michele gets honest about burnout, disconnection, social conditioning, and the moment she realized she was giving her energy to fear, noise, and things outside of her control. She shares how stepping back, reconnecting with herself, and focusing on alignment instead of adrenaline changed everything. This conversation explores emotional mastery, personal energy alignment, intuition, mindfulness, and what it really means to lead consciously in a world that feels increasingly disconnected. If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but empty inside… if you’re tired of living on adrenaline, overthinking, or constantly pushing… this episode is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and remember who you are beneath the noise. Because writing your outcome starts by aligning your energy with the life you actually want to live.

What if the end of a marriage didn’t have to mean the end of love, respect, or connection? In this deeply personal Season 1 finale of Write Your Outcome, Michele Phillips sits down with two of the most important men in her life: her former husband, Steve Phillips, and her forever husband, Gary Wise. Together, they share the remarkable story of how they chose peace over bitterness, respect over resentment, and growth over blame. This honest and heartfelt conversation explores divorce, healing, emotional maturity, and what it really means to consciously choose a new outcome. From navigating heartbreak and loneliness to building an unexpected friendship rooted in trust and mutual respect, Michele, Steve, and Gary open up about the lessons they learned through love, loss, and letting go. They talk about processing pain without becoming consumed by it, the importance of emotional responsibility, and why happiness has to become a personal choice, not someone else’s job. If you’ve ever struggled with the ending of a relationship, carried resentment, or wondered whether peaceful coexistence is truly possible after heartbreak, this episode is proof that another path exists. Because sometimes the most beautiful outcomes are the ones you never expected to write.

Intentional Divorce with Karen Covy | #40
What if divorce didn’t have to be a battlefield… but instead became a turning point for clarity, growth, and intentional living? This week, I sit down with divorce strategist, lawyer, and coach Karen Covy to explore a completely new way of navigating one of life’s most emotional transitions. Karen reveals why most people approach divorce from fear and confusion and how that path often leads to unnecessary conflict, cost, and long-term pain. Instead, she introduces a different approach: one rooted in education, emotional awareness, and intentional decision-making. This is about more than ending a relationship. It’s about consciously creating what comes next. Connect with Karen: Website: Podcast: LinkedIn: Instagram: Book:

Writing the Life You Were Meant to Lead with Sarah Olivieri | #38
This week, Michele sits down with Sarah Olivieri, entrepreneur, nonprofit strategist, and creator of the Impact Method, for a conversation about courage, clarity, and choosing the life you know you’re meant to lead. After years of helping other visionary leaders build their dreams, Sarah realized something profound: she had been helping everyone else write their outcomes, but hadn’t fully claimed her own. In a moment of deep reflection, she chose to step into a new chapter—one where her work, her voice, and her vision could truly be her own. This conversation is about more than strategy. It’s about listening to the quiet inner voice that says there’s something more for you and having the courage to follow it. Connect with Sarah: Website: Podcast: LinkedIn:

Rewrite Your Love Story Without Playing Small with Mina Yang | #37
So many high-achieving women have mastered their careers but feel confused, discouraged, or exhausted when it comes to love. In this episode, I sit down with relationship coach, hypnotherapist, and author Mina Yang to unpack why so many high-achieving women struggle in relationships. It’s not because you’re “too successful” or “too intimidating.” It’s often because you’ve learned to shrink, over-give, shape-shift, or chase emotionally unavailable partners. This episode is about taking radical responsibility without self-blame. It’s about being clear, setting boundaries, protecting your energy, and believing that healthy love actually exists.

Rewriting the Way We Grieve with Kelly Daugherty | #33
Grief changes us, but it doesn’t have to stop us from moving forward. In this deeply moving and eye-opening episode of Write Your Outcome, I sit down with grief counselor and founder of the Center for Informed Grief, Kelly Daugherty, for a conversation that blends science, spirituality, and real-life experience in the most human way. Kelly’s journey into grief work began as a teenager after losing her mother to breast cancer, and that lived experience has shaped a career dedicated to helping others navigate loss with compassion, resilience, and connection. We unpack what grief actually looks like (spoiler: it’s not the stages), why resilience isn’t about “moving on,” and how we can continue meaningful bonds with those we’ve lost.

In this powerful live coaching session, I am joined by my good friend Liz Benuscak for an honest, heartfelt conversation about transition, identity, and reclaiming personal power.

What if the doubts holding you back aren’t new—but patterns you can finally rewrite? This week, I’m thrilled to sit down with psychological strategist, inventor of Neurostrategy, and founder of Orchestraight, Jake Stahl, for a powerful conversation at the intersection of neuroscience, behavior, and personal transformation.
