Navigating the Liminal Space: Embrace Your Transformation Journey - An Interview With Hypnotist Michelle Boyde

Welcome to Shine In and Out, the space where science meets soul. I’m Sammy Stoltz, your host, and today I’m excited to share a transformative conversation with Michelle Boyde — master hypnotist, subconscious expert, and creator of the Alchemy Sequence.

What is the Liminal Space?

Michelle and I dive deep into the mysterious, often uncomfortable gap between who you used to be and who you’re becoming — the liminal space. This phase is filled with uncertainty, self-doubt, and immense growth. Michelle shares her personal story of leaving a successful consulting career to follow her true calling and explains why embracing desire, rather than chasing purpose, is the key to sustainable success.

Key Takeaways from Our Conversation

• The Liminal Space Is Where Growth HappensIt’s the emotional rollercoaster between your old self and your new identity. You’ve shed the past but haven’t fully stepped into the future.

• Your Inner Critic Gets LouderSelf-doubt and questioning become intense, but this is a natural part of transformation.

• Financial Concerns and Self-Worth SurfaceTransitioning often stirs up money-related fears and beliefs about your value.

• Desire Over PurposeInstead of endlessly searching for your "purpose," focus on what lights you up — your desires fuel passion and potential.

• Energetically Sustainable SuccessSuccess isn’t about pushing harder; it’s about aligning with your energy and working smarter, not longer.

• Human Design as a CompassTools like Human Design can illuminate your unique energy blueprint and guide aligned decisions.

Practical Advice for Navigating Change

Michelle emphasizes the importance of embodying your new identity — not just thinking about it. You need to “land it in your body,” allowing transformation to flow naturally rather than forcing it through sheer will.

She also encourages us to tune out external noise — societal pressures, unrealistic expectations, and limiting beliefs — and tune into your body’s signals and true desires.
