Michelle Poler | Keynote Speaker

@garyvee I hope you like #matcha — because that’s what I’ll be having on Monday morning when we connect LIVE via Youtube to talk about: how to market a book (or anything) in the middle of a pandemic 🍵 . Tune in tomorrow morning (9am ET) to hear what Gary has to say! (On his Youtube channel). . Looking forward to this conversation!! . And if you can’t tune in LIVE, you can watch the replay later 🔥 . If you don’t know who @garyvee is, I have one word for you: SERIOUSLY? . If you speak Spanish go to my podcast and listen to the most popular episode yet called “Go and Grab It” — and you will not only get to know Gary, but you will learn a ton from him #lifechanging 👊🏼♥️ @desdelavion . Drop a “🔥” if you already know and love @garyvee 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 #garyvee #teawithgaryvee #hellofears

One of my life goals was to be on @andyjpizza podcast “Creative Pep Talk” — why??? I wanted Andy to illustrate me! 🥰🥰🥰👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼His style is one of my favorites!! . So, when I found out about him, I thought: I need to do something extra AWESOME so he wants to invite me as a guest 💡 . I don’t remember how we connected, but it was probably through DM. And that day I learned that Andy is not only one of my favorite illustrators, he is also an amazing human being. . He helped me when I started my podcast, he even came to my event when I visited his hometown, and he wrote a lovely blurb (review) for me to put on the back of my book! . When the time came, he said: “How can I support you with your book? Would love to have you on the podcast” 💙💙💙 My dream came true! Because that meant he was going to illustrate me! . What I didn’t know is that I was going to enjoy the conversation more than the illustration (and the illustration is pretty TOP NOTCH!) . During the episode we went DEEP into branding and authenticity — a topic neither one of us planned to get into but it organically happened 😬🙆🏼‍♀️👏🏼 . This had to be one of the conversations I’ve enjoyed the most (ever!), and I’m soooo happy you get to listen to it 🥳🥳🥳 . Thank you Andy, for existing! And for illustrating me wearing my favorite jacket 😂♥️ . Guys, I rarely promote podcasts in here. This is a MUST! 🙏🏼 #creativepeptalk #andyjpizza #hellofears #hellofearsbook #michellepoler #podcast

I don’t need to be recognized by @forbes to know that I’m doing a good job. But I have to say, looking at this feels *hella* good 🥰 . Pivoting my business to virtual speaking not only helped me. I’ve been speaking with lots of people from different industries and they all tell me the same thing: “watching you reinvent yourself so fast and adapt to this new “era” with the best attitude is what inspired me to do the same.” . I’ve heard that from so many people these last weeks, including people I HIGHLY admire, that I came to the realization that: when you stand up for yourself, you stand up for others as well. . I always wanted to be a “thought-leader” but today, I rather be an “action-leader” — there is nothing more inspiring to others than watching you take action and execute on your plans and dreams. That is what really moves the world. . One more thing: There is one word that is behind me in that photo. That was NOT intentional, and yet, it is what made this all possible. . Lastly, I want to recognize @vivnunez who wrote this article. Besides looking for inspiring and actionable content to write about, I know deep in her heart, and above all, she wants to highlight other powerful Latinas. Because like @weallgrowlatina says “if one grows, we ALL grow!” . So, I hope MANY Latinas and women out there get to read this piece (link in bio) where I openly tell you what I did to get to where I am, and how you can do the same 👊🏼♥️🔥 . Let’s be more like Viv, and use our power to highlight each other and ROOT for each other #forbes #weallgrow #hellofears #press #latina #keynotespeaker #pivot

I grew up with a superstitious mom. So when social media became a thing in 2006, me being on it didn’t make her happy. At all. My mom was always afraid that if I exposed myself people could hurt me with their thoughts somehow 🧿! . I personally never really cared about that. And after exposing myself for 13 years now, I realized that I don’t believe in #superstition ... But there is one thing I do believe in: KARMA ⤵️ . Ever since we started creating content in efforts to positively impact the life of others, wonderful things have been happening to us ✨ and we can’t help but to feel lucky. But we’ve also realized this is NOT luck. . This is the universe giving back what we pour into it. This is #GOODkarma . Yesterday, when I saw a mean review on our podcast I felt hurt. But then, I felt SAD for that person who is creating a sea of bad karma for herself leaving negative comments all over the internet 😱🌊!! . My wish for all of you is that you think twice about the kind of energy you’re putting out into the world⚡️. If you pour positive energy, that is exactly what you will get back ☘️ . So spread kind vibes, have good intentions and try to love instead of hate. The universe will reward you in one way or another 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼♥️ #hellofears #mdrt #positiveimpact #karmaisreal #goodvibesonly #dontbeahater 🙃

“Perfect is the enemy of the good” That’s why when @stramhacks and I had the idea to start our own podcast, we literally started it 😅 ✨ Some people would’ve waited to buy the perfect mic, write at least 20 ideas for possible episodes and design the most beautiful cover. We used the @apple earphones’ mic, designed a cover in 12 minutes and started recording! ✨ 10 episodes and 20,000+ downloads later, we decided to finally invest in our product, now that it is PROVEN to add value. In fact, our podcast “Desde El Avión “ is our most demanded product so far 🥳 ✨ My advice: don’t wait to have it all figured out, and START! Figuring things out is just part of the process, and the faster you test drive your idea, the faster you’ll be getting results and building on top of it 👊🏼 ✨ What are you waiting for??? 😬 . ➡️ By the way, if you own an airline (or work at one), we are looking for SPONSORS! 👏🏼🔥👏🏼 . . THANK YOU @caravisionnyc for the awesome photos, and @nawisworld for the fun illustration. Working with you both has been nothing but pure JOY!!! . . #newlook #desdelavion #podcast #cover #photoshoot #couple #hellofears #perfect #goodenough #startnow

Have you noticed that the older we get the more afraid we become? 👵🏼⁣ — One day we love to ski... the next day not so much. And suddenly, something that used to be in our comfort zone no longer is 😟. ⁣ I don’t #ski often, and sadly, the less I do it, the more it scares me. Which applies to everything in life: confrontation, vulnerability, learning a new skill, speaking in public, traveling, networking, etc. Which is exactly WHY we have to challenge ourselves DAILY: say YES to new experiences + opportunities. That’s the best way to EXPAND our comfort zones to new frontiers 🤯!⁣ ⁣ So, even though it scares me, I will continue to ski every chance that I get! 👊🏼⛷ As a reminder that living life to the fullest is a CHOICE, and a HABIT ✨ #hellofears

Last week we had one of the BEST weeks of our life. I’m not going to lie 🙊— We had two events: one in Utah and one in Vancouver. TWO SKI DESTINATIONS 🙌🏼. So we took a few #daysoff (in both locations) and pampered ourselves like never before 🧖🏼‍♀️⛷🛁🥂. We thought: We deserve this. We’ve worked so hard! and we’re finally doing well. So, why not take a break? ✨ You would think it was easy. Because “happiness” is the ultimate goal and getting there will bring mental peace. Well, turns out happiness is a tricky emotion 😬, one very few people allow themselves to experience ⤵️🤦🏼‍♀️ ✨ There is such thing as “happiness anxiety”. When everything is going well we tend to think that bad things will follow. Or, we simply ruin our moment by feeling “guilty” for what we have. Have you been there? ✨ The best way to fight that is ➡️ by being grateful. ✨ Give yourself permission to feel happy ☺️ Without #guilt ☺️ Without the #anxiety of what may come next ☺️ And with NO questions asked!! You deserve to be happy. Heck, you worked for it 👊🏼! Embrace your moment and say it out loud: “I am happy today, and NOTHING can come in my way 🤩” ✨ Last week, we had the courage to be happy 💛 So, can you do it? #courageis #hellofears #happiness #vacation #springbreak . . . Go to @phillycouplestherapist to read more about this fascinating topic #happinessanxiety — thanks @doctorsuevarma for sharing this valuable information!!!!

This Valentine’s Day post is for those who haven’t found the person that makes their heart smile, yet: . I know being #single on V Day may not be “ideal” — but here’s the thing: I’m happy for you. . You know who worries me? The person who is unhappily married posting a picture on #valentinesday about their “happy marriage” — fooling everyone, including themselves. . I bet that at least 65% of the happy couples that will pop up on your feed today are not as happy as they seem, so DON’T be fooled! . You may not be dating, engaged or married today, but you are closer to finding real love than the one who is married to the wrong person, so cheers to that! 🥂 . 💛 Take advantage of today to celebrate #SELFLOVE 💛 Watch the chick flick that us, married girls, won’t be able to watch 🤷🏻‍♂️ 💛 Order your favorite food 🥟 💛 And feel proud of yourself for not settling for the first douchebag that asked you out 👊🏼 . Real love does EXIST, have the patience (and the courage) to find it 💕 Tag your single friends here! #happyvalentinesday #hellofears #goals #couple

This happened 🤭 . In 1 word this is: SURREAL. . It took me an entire day to share the news with you guys because I needed time to process 😂 . We’ve been working on this deal for months but seeing it out there shook me 😭♥️ . So if you liked the 100 Days Without Fear project.... I bet you’ll enjoy the TV show 😳✨ . Humbled to see how my message and my story will reach more people at a whole new level 🙏🏼 . I hope you are as excited as I am ☺️☺️☺️!!! This is still early stages... but... let me know in the comments who you think should play ME and who should play ADAM’s role 👇🏼😂 #100dayswithoutfear

I want to dedicate this post to the moms of JCS LATINO and all those moms out there who use their skills and find time to GIVE. - In the event “What Are We So Afraid Of?” in benefit of the JCS Kosher Food Bank we learned with my ‘brave friend’ Michelle Poler about dealing with the unknown, seeking growth over safety, embracing authenticity, daring to fail, leading with accountability and redefining fear from obstacle to opportunity. - Be part of this incredible movement! Just DM, e-mail or call me. - Help us help others! . . @hellofears #JCSLatino #JCSkosherfoodbank #jewishcommunityservices #jewish #give #help #tzedakah #jcs #help #hellofears #michellepoler #fearless #fears #afraid #empowerment #womenempowerment

Met Michelle Poler @hellofears today wicked sweet lady great speaker!

To make your Friday even better, I partnered with @underpantsandoverbites to create this cute little comic about fear. . She is doing #the100dayproject and every day she uploads a different comic (you HAVE to go see ALL of them 😂). . Now tell me, which of these fears can you relate to??? Surprisingly I was able to relate to ALL 10 fears 😱 #hellofears #collab #illustration #friday
