We recently connected with Edwidge Michel and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Edwidge, thank you for being such a positive, uplifting person. We’ve noticed that so many of the successful folks we’ve had the good fortune of connecting with have high levels of optimism and so we’d love to hear about your optimism and where you think it comes from.
My source of optimism comes from being deeply rooted in my faith as a believer in Jesus Christ. I also keep a great circle of family, friends, and mentors around who keep me grounded and accountable. Seeing others succeed despite challenges reminds me that I can too.”
Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
I wear many creative, leadership and entrepreneurial hats—I’m an ordained minister, singer, songwriter, therapist, event planner, and business owner. At the heart of everything I do is a deep passion for connection, providing safe spaces for healing, and expression. Whether through therapy, music or events, my goal is to inspire, uplift, and create meaningful experiences for others.
What excites me most about my work is the ability to touch lives in different ways. Music allows me to tell stories, evoke emotions, and bring people together. As a therapist, I help individuals navigate their personal journeys toward healing and self-discovery. Through event planning, I get to create unforgettable moments that bring people joy and connection. The blend of these passions makes my work dynamic and deeply fulfilling.
Right now, I’m thrilled about launching my therapy business full time while, recording and writing new music, playing guitar, and growing a start up business involving coaching and mentoring. It’s an exciting time, and I can’t wait to share more with everyone!”
At its core, my brand is about empowerment, creativity, and transformation. Whether you experience my work through a song, a therapy session, or an event, my goal is to leave you feeling inspired and enriched. I’d love for you to follow along on this journey—connect with me on Instagram @5stardove1. There’s so much more to come!”
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Resilience – Throughout my journey as an entrepreneur, singer-songwriter, therapist, and event planner, resilience has been crucial. There have been challenges, setbacks, and moments of doubt, but the ability to keep going, adapt, and learn from each experience has been a game-changer.
Authentic Connection & Communication – Whether it’s through music, therapy, or events, the ability to genuinely connect with people has been one of my greatest strengths. Understanding what moves people, how to tell a story, and how to create experiences that resonate has been invaluable in my work and brand growth. A great mentor and/or coach is clutch!
Strategic Execution & Adaptability – Passion is important, but pairing it with strategy, execution, and the flexibility to pivot when necessary has made all the difference. Learning how to set goals, refine my craft, and adjust to new opportunities has been a key part of my success.
How can folks who want to work with you connect?
Absolutely! I’m always open to collaborating with passionate and like-minded individuals who align with my vision. As a singer-songwriter, I love working with producers, musicians, and creatives who are all about storytelling and creating meaningful music. As a therapist and entrepreneur, I’m interested in partnering with professionals in the wellness, personal development, and mental health spaces to create transformative experiences for individuals and communities. And as an event planner, I’m always looking to collaborate with brands, creatives, and businesses that want to bring unique, inspiring, and memorable events to life.”
“I’m particularly excited to collaborate with: Music producers, songwriters, and fellow artists looking to create fresh, impactful music. Therapists, wellness coaches, and mental health advocates who want to create programs, workshops, or events that promote healing and self-growth. Event professionals, brands, and creatives who want to design experiences that inspire, entertain, and uplift.”
