By Dr. Michelle Barr, Host of The Move Show
Welcome to The Move Show, where we release the junk and move into our destiny. I’m Dr. Michelle Barr—spiritual coach, counselor, and former crisis and trauma therapist—and today I want to talk to you about something I’ve learned after decades of living, teaching, and practicing this work: your destiny is not one big moment—it’s a daily decision.
I’ve spent years studying mindset, energy, strategy, and universal law. I’ve worked with powerful mentors, read the books, attended the retreats, and done the inner work. But more than anything, I live this. I live it first, learn it deeply, and then turn around and share it with you. And what I know for sure is this: transformation doesn’t happen because you understand something intellectually. It happens when you embody it consistently.
The universe doesn’t respond to your words. It responds to your energy—your thoughts, beliefs, emotions, and the actions you take (or avoid). You are creating all the time, consciously or unconsciously. When you stay anchored in the present moment, instead of reliving the past or reaching into the future with fear, scarcity, or longing, everything begins to shift. That’s why one of my core mantras is Spirit is always working in my favor. It allows me to ask a powerful question: What is trying to happen here?
I’ve seen so many people experience temporary highs in manifesting circles or healing spaces, only to return to the same toxic patterns, environments, and relationships afterward. The energy of the old life pulls them right back in. The magic isn’t outside of you. You are the magic. Your energy is the wand. And the key is recommitting every single day until this becomes a way of being, not just something you do occasionally.
Your next chapter requires you to let go of the old one. I often think of the trapeze artist—you cannot grab the next bar while still holding onto the previous one. I’ve had to let go of what was working, what felt safe, and even what paid the bills, to make space for something of a higher nature. It’s uncomfortable. It’s scary. And it’s necessary.
Here’s what I know: a decision has not been made until an action is taken. You don’t need to know step five if you haven’t taken step one. Focus on the one aligned action in front of you today. That single choice sets energy into motion, and the rest will unfold.
Big transformations are built in micro-moments. Every day, you are either reinforcing the old story or creating a new one. So today, I invite you to whisper this with me: I choose my destiny today.
Make the decision. Own it 100%. Visualize it. Execute it.
Let’s move together.
