Kira Brinton
You came all the way from Mexico to Miami. This has been on the books for.
Michelle Warnicka
For months.
Kira Brinton
How does it feel to have recorded your episode?
Michelle Warnicka
It kind of feels like unbelievable, really. You know, and that it's really happened. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I live in Southern Mexico, so I'm not like in Cantoon or one of those places. I live in the mountains.
Kira Brinton
Oh, my gosh. How long did it take you to get here?
Michelle Warnicka
I got up at 3. My taxi picked me up at 5, and I got here around 8.

Michelle Warnicka
8pm Wow. I slept really hard.
Kira Brinton
Well, I'm so happy you're here. I'm so happy to share you with the world on one of our joae seasons. You've been in my world for a while. When did we start working together?
Michelle Warnicka
2020. That was when I started hearing voices and I started channeling and I was starting to do my work, but my information was coming in randomly. And so I'm like, I really need to find someone that can help me with this gift and to use it to manage it so that I can really Figure this thing out. And then, like, a week later, I saw you on a summit, and you're like, yeah, basically, I have five kids. And so I sit with God every morning, and God tells me, gives me three things that I need to do because that's all I have time for. I'm like, okay, she's perfect.
Kira Brinton
Not much has changed.
Michelle Warnicka
I love this.
Kira Brinton
I still sit with God every morning, ask God what I need to do. But I love our path together. And our most recent path was that you came to the sacred island with me. And I loved watching you on the sacred island. You were such, like. I feel like you were like a nucleus. Like, you were like, the center of so much of the island. Like, people just were like, have you met Michelle? Do you know her gifts? Like, it was so cool to see that. How was it for you on the island?
Michelle Warnicka
It was like a living portal. Like, something really opened up for me there, and I haven't been the same since. I. Then it accelerated the path I was already on. Yeah. And, yeah, I met two women that I feel like are my best friends there. You know, we're in the same writing pod, and. And we are all kind of do the same thing, but in such different ways. That's unique for us. Yeah.
Kira Brinton
And what's interesting is my life has been on hyperdrive ever since I led my first retreat at the island back September. Like, you've watched it. It is, like, gone, like, crack mode. And there is something about that island that unlocks our gifts in a way that, like, we just were in a momentum flow ever since. And. And I love the book that came through for you. Why don't you talk a little bit about this book?
Michelle Warnicka
The book is called Being human when you're from another planet. Oh. And. And, you know, it's a channeled book. And. And so I'm like you. I do only what I'm guided to do. So, you know, when you first went to the island in September, I had already had Terra II Akan on the books. I already had Egypt on the books. And that was October, November, and your island was September. And I heard, not yet. And then when I heard. When you announced April, and then I heard, it's time, and I'm like, really?
Kira Brinton
Are you sure?
Michelle Warnicka
And they said, yep, it's time. And then I heard the name, and I was like, at first I thought it was kind of crazy, but I have to tell you, every time I tell someone that name, just their whole facial expression change changes.
Kira Brinton
It's like a relief. That's What I feel every time you say that name, like there's like a right. Like an understanding.
Michelle Warnicka
Yeah. Like I'm not the only one. Yeah. It's a. It's a transmission in itself.
Kira Brinton
It is. It is.
Michelle Warnicka
Yes. And so it was interesting because I was in the park the other day, and I ran into this woman that I know. She's. Her and her partner own an art studio in town. Yeah. And I was telling her about the book that I'm writing, this book. And I told her about the title, and she goes, oh, that's so interesting. She said, who are you channeling? And I was like, no one's ever asked me that. Yeah. And I don't really. I just. I'm a trans medium, so I just hear all the time. And so I sometimes. I clearly know that's Joan of Arc. That's Kali. Yeah. But sometimes I don't, and a lot of times I don't. So I went home and that next morning in sacred space, you know, because I asked questions in the morning. Tell me who it is I'm channeling on this book. Yeah. And I heard, you know, source, my multidimensional self and the. Some galactic beings and ancient beings. And so I have a writing altar. That was the other thing from the island. I was guided, when I got home to make three altars. One for the book, one for my body, and one for my finances. And then the body. And my intention was to heal my body when I was there at the island, because I had a lot of body issues since I've been on this journey. And then when I got home, I heard, your body is now healed. And I'm like, are you sure? Because I still can't eat. And they're like, it's healed. You're just sensitive. You can't eat like other people. And I'm like, well, this isn't the way I envisioned it. And they're like, that's. That's the way we work. Yeah. So then there was something that happened where, like, my body. Around my body and around finances that just kind of blew up one day, like, a couple weeks ago, where everything just shifted. And I had to make really big changes in my life in both areas.
Kira Brinton
Yeah.
Michelle Warnicka
And then I realized, oh, my God, I have these altars, and I've been making declarations around them every single morning. So I. Let me look at these declarations and see what I was asking for.
Kira Brinton
What we spent. Speak, we bring.
Michelle Warnicka
Yes. And I wasn't thinking. Sometimes we don't realize how powerful we are. And so I have the altar and then I have my galactic being on there. And then I also have I had a reading in May where the high priestess came up and the card is this older woman and she's sitting on this chair in this, you know, old like 18th century outfit and she has a book like right here. And then the reader is like that's you once you write the book. So that also came up that that is an aspect of me that is writing the book through me and living the book through me as this high priestess.
Kira Brinton
Well, it is such an honor to sit with you on the island, to be your publisher and to bring this to the Earth. And I'm so excited for everyone to watch your episode on Legacy Makers. So thank you. Thank you for being you. Thank you for being here and thank you guys for being here as well. And I'm so excited for you to watch her episode.
