Me: Okay, God, here's the thing. I'm scared. I'm trying not to be, but I am.
God: I know. Want to talk about it?
Me: Do we need to? I mean, you already know.
God: Let's talk about it anyway... We've done this before.
God: *waiting patiently, unhurried, undistracted, never annoyed.
Me: Okay. So, I'm afraid I'll do everything I can to protect my family and it won't be enough. I'm afraid of someone I love dying. I'm afraid the world won't go back to what it was before. I'm afraid my life is always going to feel a little bit unsettled.
God: Anything else?
Me: EVERYTHING ELSE.
God: Remember how your son woke up the other night and came running down the hall to your bedroom?
Me: Yes.
God: You were still awake, so when you heard him running, you started calling out to him before he even got to you... remember? Do you remember what you called out to him?
Me: I said, "You're okay! You're okay! You're okay! I'm here."
God: Why did you call to him? Why didn't you just wait for him to get to your room?
Me: Because I wanted him to know that I was awake, and I heard him, and he didn't have to be afraid until he reached the end of the dark hallway.
God: Exactly. I hear you, my child. I hear your thoughts racing like feet down the dark hallway. There's another side to all of this. I'm there already. I've seen the end of it. And I want you to know right here as you walk through it all, you're okay. I haven't gone to sleep, and I won't.
Me: *crying. Can we sit together awhile? Can we just sit here a minute before I go back to facing it all?
God: There's nothing I'd love more.
♥️🙏♥️
Days like this remind me how grateful I am to be living in a way that’s much more true. 🙏🏽✨
A lot of women I talk to right now are in one of three places:
Everything’s falling apart. 🌪️
Everything already fell apart and now they have no idea what comes next.
Or they’re suddenly feeling this new energy returning… but don’t know where to put it. ⚡
I know that place well. I spent years there. Until I stopped trying to fix myself and started learning something much more honest.
I work about six hours a week now.
Same income, wayyyyy more spaciousness. 🌊
Aligned relationships.
Living in Santa Barbara. 🌸
Feeling more like myself than I have in, well, ever.
And it’s not because I worked harder or found the perfect strategy.
It’s because I finally learned how I’m actually designed to live. As in, frequencies and energetics. 🧬✨
The Gene Keys did that for me. And Synergy is where I teach it. It’s a women’s space where the Gene Keys meet somatic practice. Where we move through your design together and learn how to truly live it. Not as a concept. In your body. In real life. 💫
This Monday, May 18th at 4pm Pacific, I’m opening the doors for one free evening. 🚪
If you’ve been curious about the Gene Keys…
If something in your life has been asking to shift…
If you’re craving deeper alignment between what you know and how you live…
Come meet me and the women inside this space and feel it for yourself. 🔥
Women only. Completely free.
✨👉🏼 Link's in my bio if you want in.
Love to welcome you! ✨🙌🏽
I'd been sitting with a question for many months. Do I actually want to keep Fire and Soul going?
Nine years in and I genuinely wasn't sure. I'd only come back for conversations that truly matter. The ones worthy of your time and this moment we're all living in.
Then I sat down with Danielle Amos. And within five minutes I had my answer. Yes.
That conversation drops next week.
Today I'm here because if you've been feeling like the heavy chapter is finally closing and something new is trying to come through, this 15 minute episode is for you.
Fire and Soul 3.0 is here. Link in bio. 🔥
#fireandsoul #michellesorro #fireandsoulpodcast #genekeys #divineessence
Something’s shifted in a lot of women lately. ✨
For some, it's arrived as a big 'ol pivot. Maybe even a collapse. The old way stopped fitting and you couldn't force it back.
And for others, you've already moved through that season. You feel more awake. More energized. More honest with yourself than ever before. But now you're standing at a crossroads wondering:
What do I actually do with all of this?
That's a big part of why we created Synergy.
Synergy is a synthesis of the Gene Keys, somatics, and a group of deep, dope, and divine women supporting one another in living our most natural design.
It's not about becoming someone else. It's about remembering who you already are beneath the conditioning, striving, and noise.
And because so many women have been curious about what we're actually doing inside Synergy, we decided to open the doors for one free live evening on May 18th.
I'll walk you through your Life's Work Gene Key... the part of your profile connected to what you're naturally here to contribute and create from... and I'll also share why somatics is what helps this wisdom actually land in the body instead of staying stuck in the mind.
You don't need to know the Gene Keys already. You don't need to have your purpose figured out. And you definitely don't need to come polished. Come curious!
Your gifts are already here.
Synergy is where they come alive. ✨🙌🏽
Registration is in my bio.
PS. These photos include some of the women in Synergy, along with a few women who've joined us on retreat over the past several months. 🤍

This flower, Pride of Madeira, is quintessential to Santa Barbara. It supports self celebration.
What’s amazing is that when I took the flower quiz from @lotuswei back in January, this was the main flower that was calling me, so I got their flower essence called Luscious Embodiment with this flower as its main ingredient. Obessed.
Little did I know that it was literally calling me home to Santa Barbara, the place where I was conceived, for a total and utter rebirth that feels so right. Oh, and it's growing all over my backyard. 🤩
Katie Hess speaks about flower energy like botanical Wi-Fi. They know what we need long before we do. 🥹
If you haven't taken their quiz yet, highly recommend. Code Fire and Soul will get you 10% off. Link is in my bio.
To self celebration! 🌸🌺🪻
Okay, I do have an actual office, but I prefer the light in this room. You know how that goes. 😅
The big pivot is real. And so many of us are feeling it right now.
If your expansion is feeling called into retreat work, listen in. And if this sparks something in your heart, follow that nudge.
Head to my bio for information about Sacred Space Stewardship. We have two spots remaining.
P.S. I believe I said late January for the immersion and meant to say June. The exact dates are June 25 through the 28th. We begin virtually May 19.
Above all else trust the pivot and know you’ve absolutely got this. Because you’ve got you. ✨
I want to tell you about two retreats that changed my life. Not ones I led. Ones I attended. 🌱
The first was a yoga retreat in Ojai. I had no idea when I showed up that it would mark the end of my relationship with alcohol. Haven't looked back since. 🙏🏽
That didn’t come from a lesson or a lecture. It came through inspired community. Through being in a room with amazing people who were showing up for something beautiful and real, and they were so fully alive!
The second was Jack Canfield’s Game Changer Retreat at his private residence. October 2023. I was just coming out of two years of living in a cocoon after an awakening had taken everything apart. And I had this desire to launch a higher end women’s spiritual business mastermind at a price point that scared me. Over twenty times what I’d been charging.
I didn’t know if it would work. I was terrified I wasn’t ready. And I was scared that wanting it meant I’d lose it.
And then Jack took me by the shoulders, looked me directly in the eye, and said: do you know who you are? ✨
It landed exactly where it needed to.
In that room I felt so much love and support. From Patty. From my bestie Jocelyn. From people from all around the world who were deeply supportive of one another.
Including this one... Father Nathan, host of the Joyful Friar podcast. One of the coolest, most soulful humans I’ve ever met. We had one of the dopest conversations of my life outside under the full moon in Santa Barbara. And the next day he took me on a trust walk. That’s us in the photo.
That’s the kind of thing that happens in these rooms. Connections you don’t see coming that stay. I have so many more, including a very dear soul Cindi who's now joined me on four retreats. I mean...
The version of me who came home from that retreat was not the same one who showed up. For real. That’s what these rooms do when they’re held well.
I’m so grateful for every sacred space holder who has ever changed mine.
It’s why I do this work. 🤍
I’ve been in rooms that looked exactly right on the outside and felt completely off on the inside.
I’ve felt the subtle hierarchy. The conditional belonging. The sense that the circle was closed even though the door was open. That thing where you start questioning yourself while everyone else seems completely fine.
That’s the sister wound. And it shows up in the most unexpected places. Masterminds. Women’s circles. Retreats. Spaces that promised transformation and sent you home smaller than when you arrived.
The work of a true steward is noticing when that starts to happen and being able to stay with it before someone leaves smaller.
That’s a skill. It’s built in practice. It’s built in the moment you feel the room shift and you don’t look away.
That’s exactly what Sacred Space Stewardship trains. Of course, and everything else you need to know about how to design, fill, and lead a room with integrity and soul.
10 weeks. 8 women. Live practice inside real rooms. Not just a certificate of completion. A certificate of capacity.
Today is the last day for the enrollment bonus. 3 spots remain.
DM me if this landed. 🤍
Ten days out from Sedona Rising and the word that keeps coming back is fortified. ✨
Every single woman got what she needed. Bonds, breakthroughs, and clarity. And we laughed harder than we had in years. We came home changed + charged.🌵
This is what the world’s hungry for. And more and more women are feeling called not just to experience it, but to CREATE it.
And the data’s catching up. The Experience Economy is valued at over $800 billion and growing. 92% of consumers say they prefer in person experiences over anything virtual. Retreats, immersions, leadership offsites, women’s gatherings, this space is exploding.
No matter your industry, one or two in person experiences a year can be the game changer your business is missing, especially in a world where AI and technology are replacing almost everything except the magic and miracles of human presence.
Contributing to authentic human to human connection is the most fulfilling work we can do. Which is why the role of steward is calling so many women forward right now.
Retreats have become a six figure part of my business. A few weekends a year. It didn’t start that way, but I share it because I want you to see what’s possible.
There are plenty of places that teach you how to build a retreat. Sacred Space Stewardship is where you learn all of that in an intimate group with hands on mentorship, but most importantly, how to hold the room.
It’s a 10 week hybrid certification. 8 women. Live practice. Real mentorship. Not just a certificate of completion. A certificate of capacity.
We begin May 19. 3 spots remain. Enrollment bonus closes May 1. Our in person immersion is in Santa Barbara in June, including a curated photo shoot on our final day together.
If something in you is lighting up, info's in bio or DM me.🤍
Ps: This song was written by @iam_kimai , a bright light and of one of our retreat participants, easy is right!
Sedona Rising! What a magical place 😍
A huge thank you to our amazing retreat leader @michellesorro , the founder behind @soulessenceretreats . What an incredible weekend you curated! With the most incredible women 💕✨💕✨ I think everyone got the medicine they needed from the land, the views, the hikes, the sounds, the house, the food, the reflection, the laughter, the fun and oh so much more 💫🙏
It was an honor to share one of my favorite movement practices, qi gong, with our crew. Perfect way to greet the day and warm up for our afternoon hikes!! What an opportunity.
An unforgettable retreat and total reset for the soul 💫
Courses are dead. Experiences are everything. 3 spots left in Sacred Space Stewardship and we just added something really special to the immersion. Head to the bio to see if it calls. This program is for more women in more types of industries and leadership than you may think. 🔥 #retreatleader #humanconnection #retreatfacilitator #stewardship #sacredspacestewardshipsteward
Every time I go online right now, I feel exactly the way I began to feel in 2020 about “the news” and the reason I haven’t turned it on since.
An absolute explosive onslaught of urgency around astrological events, planetary alignments, things we haven’t seen in our lifetime or in sixty thousand years or whatever. And the intensity around all of it has me doing one thing.
Checking out completely.
And coming back to what’s always been our highest calling. Turning inward. Connecting to the divine intelligence that moves through all things. Living and leading from my heart. And soaking up nature as much as possible.
I get it. These are evolutionary times and there’s a lot going on. But it’s starting to feel more and more like panic energy. Do you feel it?
Returning to source is the invitation. That’s always been the invitation.
And right now, it’s more important than ever. ✨🙏🏽
Ps. Thanks for coming to my TED talk 😌
