’ve known Cory Michelle for over a decade now. Every conversation I have with this woman always creates something greater. A new perspective, a new awareness, a new project and more inspiration. She is always actively evolving, targeting more and in her words is, “creating an empire where everyone gets to thrive and shine!” Cory is an entrepreneur and global influencer living in luxurious surrounds with her partner Ben and much loved puppy Mojo at Lake Cooroibah on the Sunshine Coast.

As a conscious leadership coach, when her ‘Crazy Possible Experiment’ 20

group on Facebook hit 11,000 people a few years ago, she knew she was onto something and it led her to develop the highly successful ‘Art of Living Crazy Possible’, the ‘Creation Academy’ and the ‘Unicorn CEO’ programs. And she hasn’t stopped there! Evolving is as innate as breathing! Cory was raised in the USA in a family where there was never plenty but always enough. In her youth she was insecure, quiet, afraid of women (especially powerful women) and really didn’t know that she had value. Especially in her early 20s, “I felt like I was a wallflower, a mouse. Even though I wasn’t, it was how I felt and what I believed,” says Cory. She knew something had to change. Coming out of her prison of shyness, self-doubt and lack of confidence and into the freedom of being able to express herself and acknowledge her abilities, totally changed her money
situation allowing her to become the first successful entrepreneur in her family. The catalysts for change were a mix of rock bottom moments and noticing other possibilities. “It would be, ‘I’m done with this money situation’ or ‘I’m done with relationships that don’t honour me’. I would see other people and say, ‘ooh that looks better over there – who do I need to be to have that’?” Cory Michelle says, “I’ve had to evolve, do a big pivot, or be different so many times. I just knew there was more available, and there was no way I’d continue to live in my old limitations.” She has had the narcissistic destructive boyfriends more than once! These days all that has changed. “I always knew a relationship that expands your joy was available and with so much gratitude I definitely have that now!” says Cory. At one stage her debt was over $US150,000. No longer in debt or www.holisticblissmagazine.com
