Start Living Joyfully - Michelle Williams Coaching

Interested in starting your own entrepreneurial journey in personal development but unsure what to expect? Then read up on our interview with Michelle Williams, a certified life coach based in Kamloops, BC, Canada.

What's your business, and who are your customers?

I am a life coach, and I primarily help people who want to break free of anxiety and worry so that they can change their deeply engrained patterns and achieve their goals.

Tell us about yourself

I've always been on a relentless journey of self-realization and growth, and I naturally inspire those around me to strive for more. It was when my brother died that I was sent into a deep existential spin and basically pulled my head out of my ass and opened my heart to vulnerability and connection with others. It was through this pain and grief that I received a message that all of this is about so much more than me. And I'm still discovering and connecting the ways in which my pain and journey are interconnected to the people that find their way into my life.

What's your biggest accomplishment as a business owner?

I have helped hundreds of people - entrepreneurs, new parents, coaches, and healthcare workers - overcome their anxiety and live really satisfying and purposeful lives.

What's one of the hardest things that comes with being a business owner?

There have been different difficulties along the way. I would say the one that doesn't seem to go away is that it is always challenging me to come to my edges and then take a step beyond. It can be very uncomfortable, but it's also why I do it.

What are the top tips you'd give to anyone looking to start, run and grow a business today?

1. Anchor in your commitment to your business and values. Commitment as fuel will burn longer than excitement.
2. Commit to your inner work. Understanding and nourishing your nervous system is essential for sustainability.
3. Invest in business and/or personal coaching that prioritizes somatic practices, thought work, and energetics over strategy. You can have all of the strategies and step-by-step instructions for success, but your unconscious mind will shut you down every time it detects danger.
