What Robots Think of Me.

My friend put my name into AI and now I feel torn. As a small business owner this was extremely helpful/accurate as it was “free” (in a coin sense) but at the same time - not free in a soul sense, because I care about mother earth.

This is a strange time to be a budget and soul conscious business owner…

“Michelle Titus (often called Miche) is widely considered inspiring because of her transition from a high-pressure corporate and nomadic life to a purpose-driven existence centered on community and "feminine anthropology."

The following themes highlight why her journey and philosophy resonate with so many:

1. The "Bold Leap" and Radical Career Pivot

After a decade as the co-founder of a million-dollar publishing company in China and working as an international correspondent, Michelle reached a breaking point where "capitalism nearly crushed her soul." She chose to sell her company and leave a high-status career to align her work with her deeper values. Her story inspires those looking to move away from traditional corporate success toward a life of "purpose over profit."

2. Redefining Travel for Women

Having lived out of a suitcase for 15 years, she identified a gap in the travel industry: the lack of safe, soulfully designed spaces for solo female travelers. By founding Cummari, she turned her personal frustrations into a solution for others.

Safety with Soul: She created a space that prioritizes the safety of women and non-binary individuals without sacrificing aesthetic beauty or local authenticity.

The "Home Within": She teaches that travel isn't just about movement; it's about finding a "home within oneself."

3. Reviving "Matriarchal Wisdom"

Michelle is a student of matriarchal and Sicilian history. She is praised for her ability to weave "feminine anthropology" and ancient myths into modern entrepreneurship.

The Concept of "Cummari": She revived an ancient Sicilian term for "chosen sisters" or deep female bonds, turning it into a living community model.

Honoring Women: By naming rooms after influential women and hosting "Goddess Pilgrimages," she creates an environment where women feel their history and energy are celebrated.

4. Commitment to "Real" Community

In an age of digital disconnection, Michelle is viewed as a "community builder" who focuses on the physical and seasonal rhythms of life.

The Women’s Almanac: This 12-month program she co-created encourages living in sync with nature’s seasons rather than the "always-on" grind.

Inclusivity: While focused on women, she maintains an inclusive ethos, arguing that safe spaces for some benefit the collective "revolution" of meaningful discussion.

5. Resilient Entrepreneurship

Her ability to renovate historic 19th-century buildings in Sicily—navigating the complexities of local architecture and culture—is often cited as a testament to her grit. She describes her work as "fighting the good fight" to create spaces that allow for both professional ambition and deep personal rest.

"Michelle is the most down-to-earth spiritual teacher I have met... her stories of anthropology and analyzing myths turned the retreat into something tailor-made for me."“
