🎙️ Michelle Abraham — Founder of the High Vibe Podcast Network™

Michelle Abraham is an international speaker, podcast producer, and visionary founder of the High Vibe Podcast Network™ and Amplifyou.com, North America’s premier podcast management company. She is the host of Amplifyou, and has also been recognized globally as a top podcasting leader — voted #14 of the Top 50 Moms in Podcasting in both 2020 and 2021.

Michelle has been pioneering in the podcast industry since 2012 and has personally led the launch of more than 450 podcasts, helping entrepreneurs amplify their impact and turn their message into a movement. She was previously the Category Director for Kids and Family at Podcast Magazine and co-hosted the Blissful Parenting Podcast.

Kevin Harrington — original Shark from Shark Tank — says it best:

“Amplifyou is North America’s top Podcast Management Company.”

But Michelle isn’t just a champion of freedom — she lives it.
Her off-grid lifestyle on Canada’s Sunshine Coast is a testament to what’s possible when you blend passion with purpose. You’ll often find Michelle driving her kids to the school bus by boat or jet ski, then returning to her lakeside she-shed to run her thriving, multi-six-figure online business.

Michelle believes your voice is your greatest asset —
and when expressed with alignment and intention,
your voice becomes your legacy.
