MicheleSennesael I empower you to feel truly seen—especially by yourself—so you can create a life that’s authentically yours and deeply loved.

In the early years of my career, I navigated the fast-paced world of corporate towers and the vibrant newsroom of Belgium's leading newspaper as a photo editor. Despite the adrenaline rush of meeting deadlines and the constant buzz, I reached a point where stress overshadowed fulfillment, my body rebelled and I burned out. Standing at a crossroads, I realized it was time for a change. With courage

as my compass, I embraced the unknown, trading the comfort of stability for the exhilarating uncertainty of chasing my passion, creating my own creative projects, in alignment with my own values and true self. And so, I embarked on a journey where my camera became a vehicle to empower others. Focusing on the daily lives of street children and families living in difficult circumstances in Nicaragua, I found inspiring stories of resilient individuals living true to themselves. It was this inspiration that led me to found “Heroes”: Love, Faith, and Courage, an organization dedicated to providing educational opportunities for street children in Nicaragua. In my work and travels around the globe, I have captured moments that range from the serene beauty of home births in a small apartment in Brooklyn, NY, to the timeless wisdom of ancient cultures in distant lands. Each experience has deepened my understanding of life's intimate and universal aspects. At the school of Art and Design at Alfred University, New-York, where I integrated new media, sound and printmaking to my practice, I received a Master’s degree in Fine Arts. In each frame, I discovered not just images, but fragments of truth and echoes of beauty that resonated deep within. As an interdisciplinary artist, my work received numerous awards, has been published internationally and I participated in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium, Italy, China, Colombia, United Kingdom and the United States. Yet, beyond the artistry of photography, I uncovered a deeper truth – that creation extends far beyond the tangible, into the realms of self-discovery and growth. Through introspection and guided exploration, I embraced my emotions as guides, leading me towards a richer understanding of myself and the world around me. Using my camera, I discovered that while observing the outer world, the dewdrop reflects both my inner and outer worlds simultaneously. This revelation inspired me to transform the image I had of myself through reflection and self-care. Today, with a Bachelor's degree in Communication and Photography, a Master's degree in Arts, numerous training programs, as a certified coach, and mindfulness practitioner, I am dedicated to guiding and empowering others on their journey of transformation. In my unique approach, I combine the transformative power of photography with the empowering force of coaching to guide others toward a life rich in authenticity and fulfillment. But for me, true success is not merely measured in accolades or achievements, but in the unwavering commitment to living a life aligned with one's deepest truths. True success lies in the courage to be authentically oneself.

We don’t move forward just because we think our way there —
we move when we feel something shift.

Emotions are what get us into action.
And when we shove them down?
We don’t just lose the hard stuff — we lose our spark, too.

So if you’ve been powering through lately,
take a breath.
Feel what’s really there.
Your next step might be right behind it.

You've got this.

What might open up…
if believing in yourself wasn’t optional,
but your baseline?
Your starting point — not your backup plan?

What would shift
if you trusted your voice
like it was gospel?

I get it.

Being visible can feel terrifying.
(It still does, sometimes.)

And yes — stepping out might mean losing people.
Especially the ones who only knew how to love the curated version of you.

What you gain is so much more.

Your voice.
Your joy.
Your creativity.
Your people
And your life — unfiltered, full, finally yours.

You weren’t born to disappear.
You were born to take up space —
softly, boldly, honestly.

It’s time.
🤍

You're not stuck, you're just waiting ... but WHY?

If you’re DONE waiting, I’ve got good news for you!

You don’t have to stay stuck. You have the power to rewrite your story. You can train yourself to override the doubts, fears, and limitations that have been holding you back—and start taking action as your future self, right now.

Ask yourself: What would the version of me who already has what I want do today? Start there.

Drop “DONE” in the comments if you’re ready to step into your next level. 🔥

Love has the power to change us in ways we might not fully grasp. It frees us from the weight of self-doubt, the harshness of judgment, and the grip of fear.

When we choose love—especially self-love—we open the door to becoming the truest version of ourselves. It transforms us in ways we might not always see, but feel deeply.

It’s a daily act of kindness, a gentle reminder to honor our worth, to care for our minds and bodies, and to give ourselves the grace we often reserve for others. It’s something to carry with us every single day, in every moment.

Are you ready to embrace the freedom that comes from loving yourself?

Let’s commit to this journey together. Starting February 1st, I invite you to join me in the Self-Love Challenge. It’s time to nurture your heart, honor your soul, and begin the most important relationship of your life—the one with yourself.
