You were like the center of so much of the island. Like people just were like, have you met Michelle? Do you know her gifts? Like it was so cool to see that. How was it for you on the island? It was like a living portal. Like something really opened up for me there and I haven't been the same since. Michelle Wernica is a spiritual coach, transformational healer and retreat founder in the creator of Mariposa House of Metamorphosis. A sacred retreat space in Mexico dedicated to helping women over 55 reconnect with their purpose and authentic selves. There was something that happened around my body and around finances that just kind of blew up one day. Like a couple weeks ago where everything just shifted and I had to make really big changes in my life in both areas. Yeah, and then I realized. It spans the globe like a super high as coal into the Elvis Red. Today Apple is going to reinvent the fall. It's not over until I win. The Living Your Legacy podcast for those who live to leave a legacy. That's extraordinary. The impossible. Oh, that is sensational. Jordan. Open. Chicago is the lead. You said gold is the fastest man on the planet. You can live your dream. Welcome back to my season of Legacy Makers. I'm Kira Brinton and today I'm so excited to introduce to you Michelle Warnica. Michelle, we're here. I know, I can't believe it. Neither. You came all the way from Mexico to Miami. This has been on the books for months. How does it feel to have recorded your episode? It kind of feels like unbelievable really, and then it's really happened. Yeah, yeah. And I live in southern Mexico. So I'm not like in Cancun or one of those places I live in the mountains. Oh my gosh. How long did it take you to get here? I got up at three. My taxi picked me up at five and I got here around eight. Wow. That's a day. Yeah, that's a day, PM. Wow. It slept pretty hard. Well, I'm so happy you're here. I'm so happy to share you with the world on one of our JOA seasons. You've been in my world for a while. When did we start working together? 2020. It was when I started hearing voices and I started channeling and I was starting to do my work. But my information was coming in randomly. And so I'm like, I really need to find someone that can help me with this gift and to use it to manage it so that I can really figure this thing out. And then like a week later, I saw you on a summit and you're like, yeah, basically I have five kids. And so I sit with God every morning and God tells me, gives me three things that I need to do because that's all I have time for. I'm like, okay, she's perfect. No, much has changed. I love this. I still sit with God every morning, ask God what I need to do. But I love our path together and our most recent path was that you came to the Sacred Island with me. And I loved watching you on the Sacred Island. You were such like, I feel like you were like a nucleus. Like you were like the center of so much of the island. Like people just were like, have you met Michelle? Do you know her gifts? Like it was so cool to see that. How was it for you on the island? It was like a living portal. Like something really opened up for me there and I haven't been the same since. I've been, it accelerated the path I was already on. And yeah, I met two women that I feel like are my best friends in there. You know, we're in the same writing pod and we're all kind of do the same thing. But in such different ways, it's unique for us. Yeah. And what's interesting is my life has been on hyperdrive ever since I led my first retreat at the island back September. Like you've watched it. It is like gone like crack mode. And there is something about that island that unlocks our gifts in a way that like we just were in a momentum flow ever since. And I love the book that came through for you. Why don't you talk a little bit about this book? The book is called Being Human When You're From Another Planet. Oh. And, you know, it's a channeled book. And so I'm like you, I do only what I'm guided to do. So, you know, when you first went to the island in September, I had already had tear two account on the books. I already had Egypt on the books. And that was October, November and your island was September and I heard not yet. And then when I heard, when you announced April, and then I heard it's time and I'm like, really? Are you sure? And they said, yeah, it's time. And then I heard the name and I was like, first I thought it was kind of crazy, but I have to tell you every time I tell someone that name, just their whole facial expression changes. It's like a relief. That's what I feel. Every time you say that name, like there's like a, oh, right? Like an understanding. You know, I come not the only one. Yeah. It's a transmission in itself. It is. It is. Yes. And so it was interesting because I was in the park the other day and I ran into this woman that I know. She's her partner partner, own an art studio in town. And I was telling her about the book that I'm writing this book. And I told her about the title and she goes, oh, that's so interesting. She said, who are you channeling? And I was like, hmm, I don't know where it is. Yeah. And I don't really, I just, I'm a trans medium. So I just hear all the time. And so I sometimes I clearly know that's Joan of Arc. That's Kali. But sometimes I don't. And a lot of times I don't. So I went home and that next morning in sacred space, cause I asked questions in the morning, tell me who it is I'm channeling on this book. Yeah. And I heard, you know, the source, my multi-dimensional self and some galactic beings and ancient beings. And so I have a writing altar. There was the other thing from the island I was guided when I got home to make three altars. One for the book, one for my body and one for my finances. Oh, and then the body and my intention was to heal my body when I was there at the island. Cause I had a lot of body issues. So I've been on this journey. And then when I got home, I heard your body is now healed. And I'm like, are you sure? Because I still can't eat. No, no, no, no. And they're like, it's healed. You're just sensitive. You can't eat like other people. And I'm like, well, this isn't how the way I envisioned it. And they're like, that's the way we work. Yeah. So then there was something that happened where like my body, around my body and around my finances that just kind of blew up one day. Like a couple of weeks ago where everything just shifted and I had to make really big changes in my life in both areas. Yeah. And then I realized, oh my God, I have these altars and I've been making declarations around them every single morning. So let me look at these declarations and see what I was asking for. What we speak, we bring. Yes. And I wasn't thinking, sometimes we don't realize how powerful we are. And so I have the altar and then I have my galactic being on there and then I also have, I had a reading in May where the high priestess came up. And the card is this older woman and she's sitting in this chair and this old like 18th century outfit and she has a book like right here. And then the reader is like, that's you. Once you write the book. So that also came up that that is an aspect of me that is writing the book through me and living the book through me. This is high priestess. Well, it is such an honor to sit with you on the island, to be your publisher and to bring this to the earth. And I'm so excited for everyone to watch your episode on Legacy Makers. So thank you.
