My Story
MICHELLE SORRO, TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADER + SPIRITUAL MENTOR
My work has always lived in the transformation space.
What's changed isn't the direction—it's the depth.
For nine years, I've been guiding women through expression and leadership thresholds: the moments where what's been true no longer fits, and what's emerging hasn't yet taken form.
There was a long season where I lived inside identities that once fit, then became too small.
Letting them go wasn't about leaving the work. It was about becoming more precise inside it.
But precision required truth, not performance. And I was still learning to tell them apart.
For many years, my world was shaped by visibility, expression, and leadership at scale.
Before I entered the transformational coaching space, I came from live television and live commerce.
I studied broadcast journalism at UCLA and spent years inside real-time, high-pressure environments where clarity and trust were non-negotiable.
I sold over $222 million in live television sales, working with national platforms like HSN and QVC, and hosting my own segment on Extra for many years.
At the time, that clarity was largely external.
I knew how to lead in real time and stay focused inside complexity. What I hadn’t yet learned was how to let inner truth, rather than outcome, be the organizing force.
That difference would later matter more than anything.
Those environments taught me how much pressure the nervous system can hold before something’s gotta give.
That experience led me into direct sales and entrepreneurial consulting, working with founders and leaders worldwide who weren’t just asking how to sell more—but how to stay aligned, coherent, and intact while doing it.
At the time, I could recognize those questions clearly and support them skillfully, even as my own relationship to inner truth was still organizing itself.
I built and led a multiple seven-figure transformation company and helped thousands of women lead, show up, and offer their work in visible ways.
I created Live Video Mastery, hosted Fire & Soul, a top 1% podcast, and co-founded a bespoke podcast company featured in Rolling Stone, Entrepreneur, and Fast Company.
My clients have collectively generated over $20 million in revenue through the work we've done together.
Those years taught me something essential.
They showed me how much women carry—responsibility, ambition, vision, and the pressure to make what they’re doing actually matter.
They also showed me where things break when inner capacity isn’t there.
Not because women aren't capable, but because the protective patterns haven't yet been recognized for what they are: nervous system strategies that keep us safe but disconnected from truth.
In 2021, I moved through a profound spiritual awakening that dissolved the identities I had lived inside for years.
What opened was inner truth.
What I didn’t yet have was the capacity to hold it.
What the awakening also revealed was everything that had been carried, protected, and unresolved beneath those identities.
In the middle of that unraveling, I had four words tattooed on my body: Remember who you are.
Not as aspiration, but as anchor—when everything else dissolved, this remained.
Building the presence to hold that truth would take time.
And capacity isn’t willpower or drive.
It’s the ability to remain present when truth creates tension.
The deeper turning point came when the Gene Keys opened the inner architecture of my life and work, and my certifications in somatic, trauma-informed, attachment-based practice, Reiki I & II, and 500-hour yoga teacher training gave that knowing a body.
More than a system, the Gene Keys brought me into deeper communion with the divine intelligence moving through all things—God. Mother, Father, Great Spirit. A higher power by many names.
What followed was profound humility: the recognition that beneath years of protective patterns—pushing, performing, proving—the very shadows, traumas, and sacred wounds I had carried were not obstacles, but divine intelligence itself, calling me into my higher purpose and the capacity I now guide women toward.
What changed was not belief, but relationship. A lived attunement. A way of listening and responding to what is actually here.
THAT INTEGRATION CHANGED EVERYTHING.
It taught me how to listen beneath words. How to support a nervous system in transition. And how to create space where cosmic clarity can arise, without force.
It showed me the real work isn’t fixing or improving women.
It’s helping them build capacity to stay with what’s true as their lives and leadership evolve.
Since 2022, I've been holding retreat space from this foundation: creating immersions where women can step out of the noise and into the presence required for real transformation. Retreats have become the heart of how I offer this work.
This is the ground I trust most.
It’s where women stop performing alignment and let truth move through how they actually live and lead.
I haven’t stepped away from transformation work. I’ve stepped deeper into it.
The work I offer now is devoted to helping women strengthen their inner capacity so they can lead, express and engage in the world from what’s real—without forcing, bypassing, or self-abandonment.
Over time, this naturally extends into how women share their work, lead spaces, and offer what they carry, including retreats, groups, and other forms of high-impact service.
My own life reflects this shift. I work less. I earn more. And the difference isn’t effort—it’s coherence. When you move according to your design and natural pacing, synchronicity replaces strain, and grace begins to organize what strategy never could.
But living from that truth requires capacity.
The capacity to stay present. To hold responsibility. And to remain intact as life asks more.
This is where the work begins.
