🎙 Show Notes: Season 3, Episode 1 – Not Pretty But Still Worthy

The glow-up doesn’t always look like the highlight reel. Sometimes it’s messy. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it doesn’t look pretty at all. But it’s still worthy.

In this episode, Evelyn Michelle opens Season 3 of Power Through the Mess with raw honesty about her own journey—losing over 100 pounds, facing shame from family and relationships, and realizing that the real glow-up starts inside, not outside. She shares the “deep, dark secret” she’s been keeping (her quiet creative glow-up), and what stepping into this new chapter is requiring of her: discipline, organization, belief, and the courage to bet on herself.

If you’ve ever felt like your glow-up doesn’t measure up, this episode will remind you that the messy middle still counts.

✨ In this episode you’ll hear:

• Why the glow-up isn’t about before-and-after photos.

• The moment Evelyn realized she had to change—for her kids and for herself.

• The shame she carried, where it came from, and how she’s releasing it.

• The “quiet glow-up” she’s stepping into now (yes, she’s creating music 🎶).

• Practical tools that are helping her in this season: schedule blocking, small disciplines, and the courage to believe in herself even when it looks crazy to others.
