Hey there!
I'm Alicia Michelle
I’m an author, award-winning podcaster, and ICF-Certified coach passionate about helping Christians build emotional confidence.
By God’s grace, I’ve helped tens of thousands rewire toxic thought patterns and manage emotions for more calm, confidence, and joy. My work has been featured on 100+ Christian media outlets, including The Jesus Calling Podcast, Moody Radio, and Life Today LIVE, and my book Emotional Confidence is sold at major retailers like Target.
But most importantly, I understand where you’re at.
In 2017, a sudden medical crisis—caused by years of suppressed emotions—turned my world upside down and nearly took my life. God led me to healing by teaching me how to process emotions in a healthy way… using science and scripture together.
Today I help brave women like you confidently manage life's ups and downs with compassion, clarity and courage.

Challenges as a Confident Captain:
Even though you have strong emotional awareness, you might:
✈ Still get caught off guard by certain emotional triggers (hello, unexpected turbulence!).
✈ Find that you can help others with their emotions but struggle to give yourself that same grace.
✈ Occasionally overthink your emotions instead of just letting them pass.
✈ Experience self-doubt when faced with new emotional challenges you haven’t tackled before.
✈ Wonder if there’s an even smoother way to handle emotions that catch you off guard.
While you're not crashing and burning, there’s still room for refinement in your emotional navigation. Small shifts in how you process specific emotions and set boundaries can smoothen your journey.

MORE ABOUT CONFIDENT CAPTAINS
You're Flying High, But What About Unexpected Storms?
Imagine this: You’re cruising at 30,000 feet, feeling confident in your emotional management. You’ve handled plenty of turbulence before—stressful workdays, parenting meltdowns, and even those awkward family dynamics at holiday gatherings.
Then suddenly—BAM! A rogue storm rolls in.
Maybe it’s a disappointment you didn’t see coming, a relationship rift that stings more than expected, or a season of exhaustion that makes it hard to think straight. You start questioning yourself:
“Why is this throwing me off?”
“I thought I had this emotional thing figured out—what’s happening?”
“I know God is in control, but why do I feel so unsteady?”
Even the best pilots need to adjust their flight plans. You don’t need a whole new training manual—you just need a few in-flight tweaks.
So how can you refine your skills and better manage emotional turbulence?

Here Are 3 Great Places to Start:
☑️ Fine-Tune Your Emotional Awareness: Start paying attention to which emotions still trip you up. What feelings are harder for you to process? Which situations throw you into overthinking or self-doubt? Identifying these will help you stay ahead of the turbulence.
☑️ Deepen Your Trust in God’s Power: You're already strong in recognizing emotions, but sometimes, surrendering the process to God is the hardest part. Keep leaning into quiet moments with Him to help you remember that He's always the one guiding the plane.
☑️ Expand Your Emotional Toolkit: Whether it’s strengthening boundaries, refining how you process disappointment, or becoming even more resilient to stress, there’s always room to add more tools to your emotional cockpit.
The key? Keep building your emotional confidence so you’re more equipped for life's surprises!
