Living in the Chrysalis: Navigating a Nomadic Lifestyle, Gift Economy & the Unknown with Michelle Stransky

Feed Your Wild with Venessa Rodriguez

Butterflies have always fascinated me, there’s something about butterflies and the transformation process that provides a sense of hope and connection to divinity or Source. I know that many of us are experiencing a deep sense of being in the chrysalis alchemy at a collective level. So when I received a message from Michelle Stransky about the process of transformation and the cocoon that she is living in right now, I knew I had to share it with others.

Sometimes we don’t know where we’re going, and we’re in these “in between” phases which is challenging but we have an internal GPS and blueprint for what we can bring and become. What is required is trust, time, and a container - this chrysalis... today, Michelle shares how she is living in this process and shares wisdom from her own personal knowing.

I met Michelle in an organization she started called WisdomWomen, which is in its own process of transformation. In this episode, Michelle talks about her trajectory from a corporate career to Wisdom 2.0 and saying YES to starting her own project, WisdomWomen, which has led to a way of living and being that she never anticipated.

Michelle shares how she has had to dismantle and “undo” ways of having and participating in community, her experience living a nomadic lifestyle and in the “gift economy,” what it is, how she got started and the many ways it’s shaping her life. We cover trust, synchronicities, relationships and of course fear and scarcity mentality around money... and all the ways Michelle has had to face them and overcome them. Michelle shares her vision for the future and words of wisdom for those just starting out on this journey.
