Celebrating Friendship and Unveiling New Horizons: A Cruise to Remember and a Sneak Peak at “RadiantHER” Lifestyle Hub
Editor's Note
Hello SisTARS
Welcome to another exciting edition of the Live Out Loud newsletter! Before we dive into this month’s enriching content, I want to share a delightful experience from the past week that embodies the essence of living out loud.
I recently embarked on a spectacular cruise aboard the Valiant Lady with 18 cherished friends, celebrating the “double nickels” birthday of our dear friend, Fuji. This journey was not just a vacation but a vibrant tapestry of shared memories and new friendships. Most of us have known each other for over 30 years, while some were meeting for the first time. The camaraderie and joy were palpable as we rekindled old bonds and forged new connections.
Our days were filled with an array of fascinating culinary delights from across the globe. We indulged in Asian, Mexican, Thai, and Cuban cuisines, each dish more tantalizing than the last. But it wasn’t just about the food. Fuji's wonderful wife orchestrated a series of unforgettable activities that kept our spirits high and our hearts full.
We danced the night away at a pajama party, embraced the vibrant energy of Scarlet Night, and celebrated the freshness of Green Day. We sang our hearts out during karaoke sessions, shared laughter and stories over special dinners and brunches, and rejuvenated our bodies and minds with luxurious spa days. It was a whirlwind of joy and celebration, so much so that we joked about needing a vacation to recover from our vacation!
This adventure reminded me of the importance of celebrating the ones we love while they are still here, creating memories that will last a lifetime. I can't wait to do it all over again.
Now, I am thrilled to give you a sneak peek into something very special we’ve been working on – the RadiantHER Lifestyle Hub. This new, on-demand lifestyle hub will be available soon, allowing you to access an array of masterclasses on your schedule through a membership. From the SheEvolves wellness series to movement classes in She Moves, culinary explorations in She Eats, career guidance in She's About Her Business, and travel adventures in She Travels, the RadiantHER Lifestyle Hub will be your go-to resource for living your best life.
Stay tuned for more details as we prepare to launch this exciting new platform. As always, RadiantHER Hub is about supporting you, nurturing you, and helping you to Live Out Loud.
Stay radiant, stay empowered, and continue to Live Out Loud!
Warmly,
Mechel

Honored and Inspired: A Day at Cal’s Kitchen 5th Anniversary Celebration (3 minute read)
Recently, I had the incredible honor of being a featured speaker at the 5th Anniversary of Cal's Kitchen's Celebration of Survivors Nominees & Women Entrepreneurs in John's Creek, GA. The event, orchestrated by the remarkable survivor and founder Ms. Beverly Palmer, was a heartwarming and humbling experience that I will cherish forever.
The venue was abuzz with anticipation as nominees gathered to share their powerful survival stories. Each woman’s account of perseverance and resilience against all odds moved the audience deeply. I don't think there was a dry eye in the crowd as these courageous women recounted their journeys of survival, strength, and triumph.
My speech, titled "Begin with the End in Mind," aimed to inspire and empower, yet I found myself equally inspired by the extraordinary stories shared that day. It was a privilege to stand among such strong and resilient women who have overcome so much and continue to thrive.
Adding to the event's warmth and spirit was the delightful spread of Caribbean cuisine and appetizers prepared by Ms. Palmer. The array of treats for brunch was nothing short of impeccable. The flavors danced on our palates with each bite, leaving a lasting impression. From savory dishes to delectable desserts, everything was absolutely divine. I must confess, the desserts were my favorite – the chocolate eclairs, banana pudding cake, and buttercream cake were simply irresistible. I even broke my usual rule and brought a to-go box home!
The experience was more than just a celebration; it was a testament to the power of survival, the beauty of resilience, and the importance of community. I am deeply honored to have been in the company of such inspiring women, sharing stories that touch the heart and soul.
As we move forward, let us carry the spirit of these incredible survivors with us, embracing our own journeys with the same courage and determination. Together, we can continue to Live Out Loud and uplift each other through every challenge and triumph.
Warmly,
Mechel

Unlocking Inner-Peace: The Power of Binaural Beats (3.5 minute Read)
In our fast-paced world, finding moments of peace and tranquility can feel like an elusive dream. However, there's a powerful tool that's been gaining attention for its ability to help us tap into a state of calm and relaxation: binaural beats.
But what exactly are binaural beats, and how can they benefit you?
At its core, binaural beats are a form of auditory illusion created when two slightly different frequencies are played separately into each ear. These subtle differences in frequencies trigger the brain to perceive a third tone, known as the binaural beat, which corresponds to the mathematical difference between the two original frequencies.
Now, let's break down the brainwave patterns associated with different states of consciousness, and how binaural beats can help us achieve them:
Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz): Delta waves are associated with deep sleep and the unconscious mind. Listening to binaural beats in the delta frequency range can help promote restorative sleep, enhance rejuvenation, and facilitate deep meditation sessions.
Theta Waves (4-8 Hz): Theta waves are linked to deep relaxation, creativity, and intuition. By listening to binaural beats in the theta frequency range, you can access a state of profound relaxation, reduce stress and anxiety, and enhance your ability to tap into your subconscious mind.
Alpha Waves (8-14 Hz): Alpha waves are associated with a relaxed and calm state of mind, often experienced during meditation and light relaxation. Binaural beats in the alpha frequency range can help induce a state of tranquility, improve focus and concentration, and enhance creativity.
Beta Waves (14-30 Hz): Beta waves are present when we are awake and alert, engaged in focused attention and cognitive tasks. Binaural beats in the beta frequency range can help sharpen mental clarity, increase energy levels, and promote a sense of motivation and productivity.
Gamma Waves (30-100 Hz): Gamma waves are associated with heightened perception, peak performance, and expanded consciousness. Listening to binaural beats in the gamma frequency range can enhance cognitive function, boost mood, and promote feelings of interconnectedness and spiritual awakening.
Manifestation and Binaural Beats: Beyond stress reduction and relaxation, many people also use binaural beats as a tool for manifestation. By aligning your brainwaves with specific frequencies associated with abundance, creativity, and positivity, you can enhance your ability to attract your desires and manifest your goals. Whether you're visualizing your dream career, envisioning loving relationships, or manifesting financial abundance, incorporating binaural beats into your manifestation practice can amplify your intentions and bring them into alignment with the universe's energetic flow. By combining the power of intention with the resonance of binaural beats, you can accelerate the manifestation process and bring your dreams to fruition more effortlessly. So, the next time you set out to manifest your desires, consider adding binaural beats to your toolkit and watch as the universe conspires to support your intentions.
So how can binaural beats specifically benefit women?
For starters, binaural beats offer a natural and non-invasive way to reduce stress, promote relaxation, and enhance overall well-being. Whether you're juggling a busy career, managing family responsibilities, or simply seeking moments of self-care, incorporating binaural beats into your daily routine can provide a much-needed respite from the chaos of everyday life.
Furthermore, binaural beats can be a valuable tool for meditation and mindfulness practices, helping women cultivate inner peace, clarity, and self-awareness. By tuning into the frequencies that resonate with your desired state of consciousness, you can deepen your meditation practice, quiet the mind, and connect with your inner wisdom.
Additionally, binaural beats can aid in improving sleep quality, which is crucial for women's overall health and well-being. Whether you're struggling with insomnia, experiencing restless nights due to stress or anxiety, or simply looking to enhance the quality of your sleep, incorporating delta and theta frequency binaural beats into your bedtime routine can promote relaxation and facilitate a deeper, more restorative sleep.
In summary, binaural beats offer a powerful yet accessible tool for women to reduce stress, enhance meditation, improve sleep, and cultivate inner peace. By harnessing the innate power of sound and frequency, we can tap into our natural state of balance and harmony, empowering us to live our lives with greater ease, joy, and fulfillment.
So why not give binaural beats a try? Plug in your headphones, press play, and let the soothing sounds guide you on a journey of self-discovery and transformation. Plus, stay tuned for our upcoming manifestation binaural beats, designed to amplify your intentions and accelerate your manifestation practice.
Want to be the first to know when they're available? Join our waiting list below and be among the first to experience the power of manifestation with binaural beats.
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.
