NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Michelle C. Smith

I’ve been a World Champion Baton Twirler, a stunt performer in film and television, an educator, and a movement artist.

You’ve seen my work in Deadpool, Supergirl, Arrow, and Motherland: Fort Salem. But behind all that success, I was burning out fast.

What no one tells you is that high performance without sustainability eventually costs you everything.

Now I use what I’ve learned to help creatives, athletes, and high-achievers stay sharp, successful, and whole. Through speaking, mentorship, and movement, I guide people through the same shift I had to make—from survival mode to something deeper, more aligned, and human.

My Story

Since the age of five, I’ve been chasing mastery. I became a world champion. I performed in the circus. I trained in martial arts and fought on screen. And I gave it everything.

But mastery without boundaries broke me.

After years of pushing past limits, I hit a wall—physically, emotionally, and professionally. That collapse forced me to rebuild not just my career, but my values, my rhythms, and my identity.

Now, I help others shift before they hit that wall.
To choose sustainability.
To stay excellent without self-erasure.

Why I Do It

I do this work because I know what it feels like to hit every goal and still feel empty. I know the cost of perfectionism, of needing to prove, of being addicted to the grind.

I’ve also seen the power of stepping out of that loop.
Of moving with integrity.
Of choosing presence over performance.

This work is for the misfits, the creatives, the driven ones who know there's another way.
Let’s build it—together.
