Behind Rooted & Thriving
Hi, I’m Michelle, the heart behind Rooted & Thriving Mama.
This little business was born out of one of the hardest seasons of my life, a time when anxiety and depression had taken over, and motherhood felt more like survival than joy. I was trying to be everything for everyone, yet I was completely drained inside.
It wasn’t until I began to slow down and seek God that I realized I didn’t need to do it all, I needed to abide in Him. I needed to go back to the root.
That’s how the Root to Rise Method was born - a framework designed to help moms move from overwhelm and exhaustion to peace and purpose, one small, faith-filled step at a time. 🌱
Root - Rest - Rhythm - Reflect - Rise
The Root to Rise Method
​
A five-pillar approach to living a life anchored in faith and peace - even in the midst of chaos, uncertainty, or overwhelm.​
​
1. 🌿 Root - Everything begins with your foundation in Christ.
Before we grow, we must be grounded, in His Word, His truth, and His love. This is where real transformation begins. Without roots, we’re easily shaken. But when we root ourselves in God, peace begins to take hold - even in the storm.
​
2.🌻 Rest - Let go and let God renew you.
Peace doesn’t come from doing more; it comes from surrender. Learning to rest, body, mind, and spirit is how we create space for God to renew us.
​
3.🌻 Rhythm - Live by grace, not by grind.
Through intentional routines and habits, you can bring structure and calm to your days while still allowing space for grace and flexibility. When we move with God’s rhythm, our days begin to flow with peace instead of pressure.
​
4. 🌻 Reflect - Listen for God’s voice in every season
Reflection is where growth takes root. It’s about pausing to listen - to God, to your heart, and to the lessons He’s teaching you in each season.
​
5. 🌻 Rise -Thrive through faith, not perfection.
Rising doesn’t mean life is perfect, it means you’re grounded in peace, confident in your purpose, and walking in His strength.
​
At Rooted and Thriving, every product, resource, and message is designed around this framework.
Your journals and planners aren’t just tools for organization - they’re invitations to slow down, seek God first, and live a life that feels peaceful, purposeful, and deeply rooted in faith.
​
Because you were never meant to just get through life ....... you were made to rise through it. 🌿 🌿
