LOTUS

The Life-Giving Medicine of Heartbreak

A self-paced audio program for women navigating the aftermath of a breakup or still feeling its impact long after. Heartbreak and grief are rich times for transformational "mud-work" and in the depths of muddy heartbreak lives growth and renewal. This is your invitation to not just survive your grief, but to transform it. This program is in service to rebirth, growth, renewed empowerment, and emotional freedom.

Imagine waking up one morning and realizing the ache is gone.

Your heart feels lighter, the mental loops have quieted, and a sense of loss has been replaced by a sense of peace and calm. This isn’t just about “moving on.” This is about healing at the root, reclaiming the parts of yourself that have been submerged in grief and heartbreak, and emerging stronger, more vibrant, and fully alive.

It's not about missing them anymore.

The weight of the breakup has settled into your body in ways you can’t quite feel anymore. It's a weight you’ve gotten used to carrying and you’ve gotten skilled at living with it. The days of crying in bed, unable to function, have passed. Now, the grief is quieter, woven into the background of your life.

You’ve learned to move forward, to function, to put one foot in front of the other. Some days feel normal, even fine. But the heartbreak still hangs around—sometimes in the edges of your thoughts, other times pulling you back into that familiar loop of longing and regret.

"May we exist like a lotus

At home in the muddy water

Thus we bow to life as it is."

The transformation process begins with recognition.

Recognition of the grief you hold and of the roots beneath it. As you go deeper you'll begin to unravel the tangled web of old wounds and present-day heartbreak. This is a process of

1. putting the past and the present in their right places

2. separating fantasy from reality

3. shedding the layers that have weighed you down

You'll learn to see your patterns more clearly. You'll see the ways you’ve clung to love out of fear, the ways you’ve lost yourself in relationships, and the ways old emotional triggers keep you stuck.

As these layers fall away, clarity emerges. You’ll begin to grieve cleanly, free from the longheld stories of rejection and abandonment that once clouded your path. The grief will no longer feel endless. It will feel like a release, like a breath after holding it far too long.

You'll step into a new way of living, one that honors your past while empowering your present and future. Through self-reflection, emotional alchemy, and integration, you'll be invited to reclaim your power, free from the weight of your wounds.

With this newfound emotional freedom

You’ll embrace a life where your worth is not determined by someone else’s presence, but by the love and care you offer yourself daily.

You'll have the emotional capacity to create relationships that are balanced, healthy, and mirror back the deep inner work you’ve done.

Your heart will no longer be tied to old narratives of loss and rejection—instead, it will be open to possibilities, ready to bloom like the lotus that rises above the mud, fully in its beauty and power.

7 Ways Heartbreak Can Be Life-Giving

You Reestablish a Self-Connection

When a relationship ends, you’re often left alone with your thoughts, emotions, and inner longings. In this space, you have the chance to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been overshadowed or neglected in the relationship. Heartbreak can remind you of your inner strength, your passions, and your autonomy, leading to a deepened relationship with yourself.

LOTUS is your invitation to honor the wisdom in your heart, the beauty in your grief, and the potential to live and love with greater fullness and clarity. This journey isn’t about fixing you. It’s about expanding into the richness of who you’ve always been.

Meet Your Mentor

Hi, I'm Michele and LOTUS was born out of the most difficult and profound season of my life.

Like many of you, I’ve been through heartbreak that shakes you to your core, forcing you to confront deep wounds you didn’t even know were there. When my relationship ended, I realized the pain wasn’t just about the breakup. It was about the unresolved wounds of rejection and abandonment that had been with me for years.

This experience became the catalyst for my transformation. I had to learn how to grieve cleanly, separate past trauma from present pain, and ultimately find love and trust within myself. It wasn’t an easy journey, but it was one that brought me back to life in ways I never expected.

LOTUS is my gift to you. I created this program because I know how it feels to be stuck in a cycle of grief and longing, unable to move forward. But I also know the power of facing that pain, doing the "mud work," and rising up with clarity and strength.

I’m here to guide you through that same process. Together, we’ll move through the mud, and you’ll emerge more connected to yourself, ready to reclaim your heart and life.

FAQs

Do I have to finish the course in a certain time period?

Yes and no. While this program is designed to be completed over six week (one session per week) it is not a requirement. Once you register for the program you’ll have lifetime access to the Emotional Mastery material so you are free to design your own schedule and go at your own pace if you so choose. All of the videos, digital workbooks and bonuses are yours to keep forever so please take as long as you like to work through the material if you want to.
So, is this course like therapy?

No. This is an educational course. While I do have a Psychology Degree and Masters of Education, I am not a licensed mental health professional and I do not provide psychotherapy, counseling, or any other mental health services that would require a license. What I provide in this course is education, training and access to coaching and Q&A videos about dating, relationships, healing and personal growth that all have the potential for substantial learning and life transformation.
I am working with a therapist already. Is it ok to take a course like this?

ABSOLUTELY! And… I would mention it to your therapist. Here are my thoughts. Working with both a therapist and taking a transformational course like this can be a wonderful and complementary experience. In therapy, you get to look at every part of yourself that has shaped you into the person you are. With an online course like Date With Depth, created by a certified coach, you’ll get to look at who you are right now AND who you want to be. Having both a therapist and course like this can support each other as knowing how you came to be where you are will often help you become the person you want to be.
Is this course LGBTQ friendly and inclusive of diverse relationship models?

Sure is! As the guide for this program, I’m in a heterosexual coupleship and use personal stories to teach the content inside Date With Depth. The course is not gender specific or oriented toward any specific sexual orientation. I welcome any feedback that will help make this program more inclusive as you go through the program.
What if I need more support? Is this program available with coaching?

Yes! Inside the course portal I share more information about how to get private coaching support while taking this course.
