MEET YOUR HOST

Hey there, purpose-driven growth seeker,

Just like you, I thought climbing the corporate ladder was the only path for me. I spent almost 20 years of my life working for the biggest brands (Siemens, Microsoft, Luxottica, Bayer and more!!) thinking happiness would come once I got a salary increase, a promotion, praise from my peers... But it never did.

In 2016, I decided to take that leap and change my life. I shifted to entrepreneurship and designed my life and business to help others find themselves before it's too late.

I now use my voice and platform to be of service and help many find WHO they really are while doing something they LOVE!

As a Latina whose lineage was constrained by conditioning and trauma, I understand firsthand the challenges faced by underrepresented communities. My ultimate goal is to help individuals remove their unconscious limiting beliefs and heal from individual, collective, and ancestral trauma to live a purposeful and fulfilling life by pursuing their passions.

In addition to my work with Sqr One, I serve as an entrepreneurship instructor at the Queensland University of Technology. I am also a speaker, MC and host of Living in Alignment.

If YOU ARE READY to make a difference, love what you do, and take life a little less seriously, Living in Alignment will help you do just that! Welcome to my world!

    "Accountability is a huge thing." – Ale Wiecek Rojo

    "Whatever tool you want to bring into your life that will increase your productivity and accountability." – Ally Michel

    "A lot of us hustle and grind, and we burn ourselves out at the end of the day because we sit at our desks for five hours at a time; no wonder why we feel tired." – Ally Michel

    "People have this fear of letting go and surrendering to someone else in taking care of something that they've always cherished in their business." – Ally Michel

    "Once you do delegation and you see the results in your business, mindset, and mental health, it becomes a bit addictive to start delegating." – Ally Michel
