WEEK 1: Reclaiming Your Story

Welcome & Birth Story Reflection
Before we can reclaim ourselves, we must first witness ourselves. The first week of this journey invites you to slow down and truly see what you’ve been through — not just the birth, but the becoming.

WEEK 2: Body After Baby
-
Rebuilding Body Trust & Pelvic Floor Repair
After giving birth, whether vaginally or via cesarean, the pelvic floor undergoes profound changes. For many women, this area holds not just physical tension — but emotional residue: of labor, pain, fear, or even trauma.

WEEK 3: Nervous System Reset
-
Regulation Over Hustle
In the early postpartum months, our nervous systems are often still living in survival mode—on edge, overstimulated, or completely depleted. When you’ve also experienced trauma, this dysregulation can feel magnified.

WEEK 4: Boundaries & Guilt
-
Saying No Without Shame
Motherhood cracks us open — often in beautiful ways, but sometimes at the expense of our boundaries. We say yes when we mean no. We absorb others’ needs without ever being asked how we’re doing. And when we finally do draw a line? Guilt floods in like a storm.

WEEK 5: Identity & Feminine Power
-
Rediscovering Desire + Voice
Motherhood often asks us to set aside pieces of ourselves. The artist. The dreamer. The sensual woman. The ambitious thinker. In the swirl of feedings and sleep schedules, it’s easy to forget those parts ever existed.

WEEK 6: Rituals & Rhythms
-
Creating Sacred Structure
In the postpartum season, time can feel slippery. Days blur into nights. The rhythm of your baby’s needs often drowns out your own. Without meaning to, your life becomes reactive—responding to everything and everyone around you, with little space carved out for you.

WEEK 7: Relationship Repair
-
You + Everyone Else
Postpartum doesn’t just change you — it shifts every relationship around you. Your partner, your parents, your friends… even your sense of connection to your child can feel complicated. And if you’re healing from trauma, these shifts can be even more pronounced.

WEEK 8: Integration + Becoming
-
Wholeness Without Perfection
Integration doesn’t mean everything is healed or perfect. It means you are choosing, moment by moment, to live in alignment with your truth. It means taking what you’ve uncovered — your voice, your boundaries, your softness, your fire — and beginning to live from that place.

HADLEY
MICHELLE
At 38 years old, Michelle Hadley’s journey is one of extraordinary resilience and radiant transformation. A single mother to her two-year-old daughter, Michelle has lived a story that most only read about—a story of betrayal, survival, and ultimately, profound healing. In 2016, Michelle’s name became tragically familiar to millions when she was falsely accused, arrested, and vilified in an unimaginable case of deception and domestic abuse that gained national media attention (Buzzfeed News).
But long after the headlines faded, Michelle quietly faced another battle: the silent, invisible wounds left by years of psychological abuse and toxic relationships. For years, she found herself trapped in a cycle of unhealthy partners, repeating painful patterns that kept her disconnected from her own worth and peace.
Today, Michelle brings this lived experience to others through The Mindful Edit: Rituals for Elevated Living. Certified in mindfulness coaching and meditation, as well as a practitioner in Yoga Nidra and restorative yoga, Michelle guides women through the delicate process of reclaiming their wholeness after trauma. Her work is rooted in the gentle, yet powerful belief that healing isn’t about erasing the past—it’s about honoring it, integrating it, and choosing to rise.
