DAFFODIL
The world feels heavy.
The air carries grief, division, and uncertainty. We are still navigating the fractures left in the wake of political and social upheaval. Wars rage on, and the weight of collective sorrow sits in our bones. It’s hard to know how to move forward, how to hold both the devastation and the call to keep living, creating, and showing up.
When I began tuning into the flower essence for this Spring Equinox, Daffodil came through fast and clear. And at first, I resisted.
Daffodil? The bright, golden trumpeter of spring? It felt too obvious, too simple. I tend to be drawn to the deep, mysterious flowers. You know, the ones that take you into the underworld, that unravel you before putting you back together. Daffodil, in comparison, felt almost… easy.
But the more I sat with it, the more I realized that my resistance was exactly why it was the perfect choice. Because right now, in a world that feels like it’s unraveling, choosing to shine is not easy. Choosing to stand tall, to be fully seen, to express joy and aliveness when so much around us feels broken. That is its own kind of radical act.
Daffodil is a plant that knows how to rise. Pushing through frozen earth, through the last remnants of winter’s grip, it breaks through, unapologetically bright and bold. It doesn’t ask for permission. It doesn’t wait for perfect conditions. It simply blooms.
This essence is an ally for those feeling held back by self-doubt, fear of visibility, or uncertainty about their place in the world. It calls us to step into our full expression, to trust our voice, and to meet life’s challenges with resilience and joy.
And in a world that can feel heavy with division, grief, and uncertainty, Daffodil reminds us that shining brightly is not just allowed, it’s so deeply necessary.
Now more than ever, we are called to be light-bearers, to stand tall in our truth, and to meet darkness together with visibility, boldness, radiance, and courage.
During this PORTAL, we'll journey with my handcrafted Daffodil flower essence called RISE + SHINE.

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.
Meet Your Facilitator
When women and plants come together remarkable things can happen.
In my ten years facilitating in-person and virtual women's groups, I've seen time and time again a change happen in individuals who are given the space for intimacy with others and intimacy with self.
PORTAL is an opportunity to have the above and include intimacy with plants. Over the last year, I’ve been working deeply with plants in the form of Flower Essences. With a painful break up of a long-term partnership and simultaneous health crisis, I turned to these plant allies when I felt like I had nothing else to turn to due to sheer emotional exhaustion. I intentionally journeyed with these plants and gratefully received the lessons and subtle medicine they uniquely hold.
PORTAL is an invitation for you to enter the realm of the subtle to explore some deeper aspects of your healing + integration work and meet yourself on the other side.

Participants Share Their Experience of PORTAL
"At PORTAL...
Michele created a unique experience that combined teaching, wisdom, community, individual self reflection and community sharing. I felt relaxed and safe in the container of the circle and loved that everyone had an opportunity to share. It was a beautiful process and I felt I got some guidance from my own inner knowing and also from Michele and the other women. I will definitely be coming back every month!
