Are You Living Out Loud (for real) (3 minute read)

Las Vegas Funny Times

"Hello, my wonderful sisters,

This past week has been quite the rollercoaster ride, filled with its share of highs and lows. I had the incredible opportunity to travel to Las Vegas to celebrate the life of one of my dearest friends. It was an adventure that brought delicious new culinary experiences and the enchantment of dazzling shows. The absolute highlight of the trip was our immersive journey into the virtual world, where we embarked on a mission to save the world from mummies (LOL!!!).

But, as life often reminds us, with the highs, there can be lows. I must admit, I'm not too fond of this part, but here it is... Just before I left Vegas, I attempted to use my credit and debit cards to catch an Uber, only to discover that my cards were no longer functional. Initially, I brushed it off, thinking it was a minor glitch. However, upon returning home the next day, I received some rather distressing news. Approximately a year and a half ago, I extended a helping hand to a friend seeking a business loan for their project, and I signed on as a personal guarantor. Please note that being a guarantor for a commercial loan is distinct from the 'consumer' side of business, and my personal credit and bank accounts were never supposed to be impacted. Unfortunately, this time they were. Unbeknownst to me, my friend defaulted on the loan payments, leading the lending institution to place a judgment of $134,000 on my bank accounts and credit cards, affecting my personal credit. I won't deny that this sent me into a tailspin. I was unwell for a week and found myself unable to get out of bed. I even went through a period of depression. This experience taught me a valuable lesson - not to become a 'surety' for others with just a handshake agreement. It emphasized the importance of having a solid exit strategy and, under no circumstances, putting oneself in harm's way. I am currently working towards resolving this debt, but rest assured, I will never make the same mistake again.

Always remember, no matter what obstacles cross your path, stay true to yourself. Find ways to remain authentic in every situation."

Introducing ShEvolution (3 minute read)

As I've embarked on my journey of personal growth and transformation, I've been exploring ways to create a significant impact in the lives of women who face life's daily challenges. It's been a voyage that blends the wisdom of the natural world with the mysteries of the supernatural. And here's the thrilling revelation - the universe, always true to its word, has answered my call with a precious gift called "ShEvolution." I'm bubbling with anticipation as I prepare to unveil it in the first quarter of this year, and I'm confident it's precisely what you've been longing for.

I've been guided by a powerful plan, a blueprint, if you will, handed to me by a divine source. This blueprint is meticulously designed to liberate many of you from the clutches of fear and uncertainty that may have been holding you back. Whether it's:

  • Breaking free from a toxic relationship,

  • Achieving the best shape of your life,

  • Nailing that coveted job promotion or your dream job,

  • Finding your dream home or making a bold move,

  • Taking that courageous leap to start the business you've always dreamt of,

  • Or gracefully navigating the new chapter of life as your children transition to adulthood.

Perhaps it's about setting those much-needed boundaries to safeguard your happiness and prevent others, especially family, from taking advantage of your kindness without appreciation.

The universe has shown me that the time for us to conquer these fears and embrace our true potential is NOW. I'm brimming with enthusiasm to share this life-transforming blueprint with you. If you share my eagerness to explore what the divine source has bestowed upon me to empower women globally and would like an exclusive sneak peek before the official launch, simply visit the Live Out Loud website.

With a heart overflowing with gratitude,

Mechel Miller Founder, Live Out Loud

Now that you are in the middle of the first part of the new year, and have begun to write your Future Story, remember to let it be your guiding light. It’s your roadmap, leading you towards the life you've always dreamed of living, and it's time to harness your time, talents, energy, and focus to make it a reality.

The next natural question you might have is, "How do I start turning my dreams into reality?"

If you've been following your Passion Journal practice, which encourages self-reflection and creativity in quiet moments, you've already taken the first step on your journey towards your purpose. Now, it's time to turn that reflection into action and impact.

Begin by setting aside dedicated Passion Journal time to take stock of your life. Evaluate how you currently spend your time, talents, energy, and focus. Think about the small things, like when you wake up in the morning. Also, pay attention to the bigger picture, such as which activities or people in your life energize you and which ones drain your vitality. The key is to create a life that allows room for growth and transformation as you strive to make a meaningful impact on the world around you.

Your purpose will be realized through action, but beware of the trap of "faux action" that often characterizes modern life.

🌟 The Modern Action Trap 🌟

In today's world, we're constantly bombarded with captivating and ever-changing content. It's only natural to use this content to explore and engage with topics related to your purpose. Perhaps that's how you came across this article.

This can give you a sense of community – that is what we at the Live Out Loud sisterhood movement are- people who share your interests and passions, right? However, it's important to recognize that this "community" often consists of simple interactions like hitting the like button or briefly pausing before scrolling to the next post. It's easy to get lost in this sea of information and inadvertently distance yourself from the people around you. It may seem like you're learning, but are you truly connecting?

The challenge arises when you're ready to put your newfound knowledge into practice. Suddenly, you find yourself consumed by attention-grabbing and sometimes ominous content that keeps you glued to your screen. There's always something new to read, another podcast to listen to, or a never-ending social media feed to scroll through. If you're not careful, you might miss out on something important.

This phenomenon is what Professor Benjamin Skinner calls "intermittent reinforcement," and social media platforms have mastered it. It's the constant cycle of receiving unpredictable rewards or punishments that keep you engaged. In simpler terms, it's the fear of missing out (FOMO) – a feeling many of us can relate to.

Whether you label it intermittent reinforcement or simply refer to it as FOMO, it keeps us trapped in a cycle of consuming content without taking meaningful action. We believe we're being productive, but in reality, we're running in circles.

The clever trick of modern social media is convincing us that consuming content equals taking action, and producing content for their platforms is the epitome of creativity.

While there's a place for using social media to promote your Future Story and the world you want to create, it's crucial to challenge the assumption that you need to consume endlessly before you can make a difference. Don't fall into the trap of thinking you can condense your purpose into a series of tweets and expect to change the world.

Remember, you're capable of so much more than that. Your Future Story is your compass, guiding you towards a life of purpose and fulfillment, and it's time to start taking meaningful steps on that journey.

The Passion Journal (2 minute read)

I'm Mechel Miller—warrior, dreamer, and the driving force behind the magic you're about to unfold. Welcome to the heartbeat of transformation—the "Passion Journal," your sacred companion for the next 90 days. This journal is more than just pages; it's a reflection of my journey—a journey from the ashes of adversity to the creation of a sanctuary where women like you can discover their power.

About Mechel Miller:

I am the creator of the Live Out Loud Membership Global Community—a vibrant connection of women aged 38-60 from all walks of life. My story took a turn when, at the prime of my life, I faced a near-death experience that crippled me for two years. In the wake of meningitis, I found myself, an accomplished dancer, educator, mother, spouse, mentor, and entrepreneur, unable to do anything for myself. To the world, I was successful, but to myself, I felt like a pitiful waste.

A Catalyst for Change:

In those moments of reflection during my road to recovery, I realized that the life I had been living wasn't truly mine. I had spent the majority of my life proving to everyone that I was generous, giving, and hardworking—yet, I wasn't fulfilled. That realization sparked a revolutionary decision: I was going to "Live Out Loud," no matter what anyone thought of me.

Creating the Live Out Loud (Vibrational) Sisterhood:

Amidst doubters who said I would never walk, dance, or work again, I persevered. I devoured self-help books, sought counsel, and traveled in search of an escape from my reality. It wasn't until I made up my mind to live on my terms that things changed. From the Live Out Loud Methodology, the Vibrational Sisterhood emerged—a community where women like you could share dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories.

The Birth of the "Passion Journal":

With the sisterhood thriving and ShEvolution shaping lives, the need for a companion, a guide to capture the essence of personal transformation, became clear. Enter the "Passion Journal"—your 90-day roadmap to navigate the highs and lows, triumphs, and breakthroughs. It's more than a journal; it's your personal narrative, the stepping stones toward your transformative journey.

Your Transformative Journey:

Now, this "Passion Journal" is your canvas, an extension of my mission—to create a safe space where your journey of empowerment takes flight. Each page is an invitation to embrace your dreams, conquer challenges, and celebrate victories. Consider this journal your companion, your friend, and a piece of the community I've poured my heart into.

Your Story Unfolds:

You've likely faced challenges, maybe even tried everything with no success. That's why I developed the “Live Out Loud” methodology—to help you go from failure to triumph. To help you vibrate at such a high frequency that you attract the things you want in your life.
