Guest: Rev. Dr. Michelle Whittington

Hello, I’m Michele.

Pain can be a powerful motivator. Has anyone experienced that?! Through the deep pain of yet another failed relationship, I had my first spiritual awakening in 1988 and have been on a committed journey of spirituality ever since.

First, it was just for myself. But as I began to see the results of living a spiritually connected life, of learning what it takes to be truly open to the goodness of life and of finally understanding how to give and receive unconditional love, my heart called me to support others in doing the same.

I became an ordained minister in 1997, received my Doctorate of Divinity in 2007 and had the honor and privilege of serving the spiritual community of Creative Living Fellowship in Phoenix, Arizona, for 22 years as its Senior Minister. As a certified Real Love coach for over a decade, I have worked with countless individuals and couples to make the internal changes necessary to create loving, joyous relationships and, as an Art of Feminine Presence® master teacher, I embody and teach a set of practices and tools to amplify my own personal power and magnetism and to support others in doing the same. Most recently, I have brought the practices of Positive Intelligence®, an extremely powerful, scientifically-based system for making lasting changes to the way we think and feel, to my repertoire of teaching tools.

In 2021, I became the Executive Director for the Affiliated New Thought Network and am so very grateful to support this organization in fulfilling its mission to Connect the New Thought community through Consciousness and Love.

I was blessed to meet my soulmate in 1989, and he and I were together for almost 30 years. Our journey through his physical illness and ultimate transition was as profoundly painful as it was miraculous. In my book From Our Hearts to Yours: Stories and lessons on conscious loving, conscious dying and conscious living, I describe that journey and how I have come out the other side strong, happy and abundant.

Nothing gives me greater joy than to bring all I have experienced and learned in service to others to help them unleash their lives by releasing the brakes and embracing their dreams.
