Episode 18: From Health Crisis to Holistic Success with Christine Michaelis
In the grand tale of human existence, there are special moments that clearly show how strong we can be. These moments stay with us over time and give us hope and inspiration. They remind us that we all have amazing inner strength.
In this episode, we sit down with Christine Michaelis, a Marketing and Creative Start-Up Coach, founder of the Creative Start-Up Academy, author of multiple books, public speaker, podcaster and workshop facilitator. Christine shares her journey of leaving her marketing career in Germany to pursue coaching training in the UK while working full-time jobs. She later moved to Sweden before settling in Italy. However, her life took a significant turn when she was diagnosed with a brain tumour while living alone in the UK.
The diagnosis came as a shock for Christine who initially tried to ignore it but eventually went through various tests and appointments related to her condition. Christine discusses the lessons she learned from her health scare, which turned out to not be a brain tumour but rather a connection to the universe. This experience prompted Christine to reevaluate her priorities and create a better work-life balance. Christine also discusses how spirituality played a role in her transformation, leading her to explore alternative medicines and practices such as yoga, meditation, essential oils, crystal healing, reflexology, and herbal remedies. Christine's newfound spiritual connection has brought positive experiences into her life that seem almost magical or synchronistic.
Christine's passion for helping entrepreneurs led to the creation of the Creative Start-Up Academy, which offers various programs and resources to support entrepreneurs.
