Welcome to Season 9 of the Full Circle Podcast! This season is all about transformation - specifically, how to become the most authentic, aligned, and empowered version of yourself.
In this powerful opening episode, Gillian lays the foundation for deep personal growth by helping you explore one essential truth: You can’t become who you want to be without first understanding who you are today.
Through thought-provoking reflection, practical tools, and a story from her coaching practice, Gillian introduces the concept of the “identity gap” - the space between your current self and your future self - and how to bridge it with self-awareness and intentional action.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
🌀Why understanding who you are (beneath the labels) is the key to becoming who you want to be.
🌀The importance of defining your own version of success.
🌀How identity-based change leads to real, lasting transformation.
🌀The mindset shift from goal-chasing to identity embodiment.
🌀A coaching tool to help you take small, aligned steps daily.
🌀How to reframe setbacks as part of your evolution.
🌀Why the journey is about progress — not perfection.
Reflection Questions to Consider:
💭 Who am I at my core — beyond roles, titles, and expectations?
💭 Who do I want to become, and what does a day in their life look like?
💭 What one small action can I take today that aligns with that version of me?

What is Soul to Soul with Gillian McMichael?
Conversations from the heart of the healer’s path.
Hosted by Soul Healer, ICF Master Coach and best-selling author Gillian McMichael, Soul to Soul is a space for the soul-led and the called. For those who feel drawn to heal, to guide others, and to live a life shaped from the inside out.
In each new episode, Gillian sits down, soul to soul, with healers, practitioners and seekers to explore the real journey of stepping into this work. The doubt and the calling. The grief and the awakening. The healing that changes us, and what it truly means to come home to yourself before helping others do the same.
Alongside these conversations, you’ll find Gillian’s earlier episodes exploring healing, self-trust, forgiveness, alignment and the journey back to self - the inner work that forms such an important part of the healer’s path.
Whether you’re already walking this path or simply feeling the first pull towards it, pull up a chair.
These are conversations about healing, becoming, and answering the call.
