Healing doesn’t have to be a breakdown. It can be a breakthrough.

You don’t have to be falling apart to want a reset. You might just feel like life is too full, too noisy, or too disconnected from who you really are. The truth is: burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It just means something isn’t aligned anymore.

That’s where Michelle Powell’s coaching journey, Recover, Rebuild & Reconnect, steps in.

THINK’s Michelle Powell is a Holistic Health Practitioner and Clinical Therapist whose signature coaching program, ‘Recover, Rebuild & Reconnect’ offers a whole-person reset guided by wisdom, compassion, and practical tools that work.

Here’s an insight

True healing doesn’t come from starting over. It comes from getting honest about what needs attention and building from there. It means checking in with your foundations physically, mentally, and emotionally, and making them solid again.

When you rebuild with intention, you create a life that actually supports the person you are becoming.

Add this to your toolkit

Start with a gentle audit. Ask yourself:

Am I sleeping well most nights?
Am I nourishing, moving, and resting my body adequately?
Do I feel heard and supported in my day-to-day life?

Example 1: If sleep is poor, create a wind-down ritual that includes screen-free time, calming herbal tea, and breathing exercises that soothe and calm your nervous system. The aim is to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system and support the mind and body to slow down and prepare for rest and recovery.

Example 2: Stress causes the emotional body to want to ‘hold on’ to control, which translates to tension held in the physical body. If you’re constantly stressed, try pausing twice a day to mindfully check in with your breath, unclench your jaw, and relax and shoulders.
