About Us

Our MISSION

The Institute for Worthy Living’s mission is to awaken people to the life changing power of their innate worth.

OUR VISION

The Institute for Worthy Living provides multi-sensory services that teach people how unworthiness limits their life. We connect with our clients’ souls and transfer cutting edge, innovative ideas that empower people to own their worth and use it to manifest their best lives.

About Our Leader

Michelle Hollinger is a sociologist, social worker, New Thought spirituality practitioner, author, filmmaker and more. After a few decades of life-changing spiritual development, Michelle eventually determined that the stubborn, but subtle obstacle preventing her from manifesting her best life was unworthiness. Doing her work to release its hold on her helped Michelle realize that so many others were also under its elusive spell. She created The Institute for Worthy Living to help others navigate the journey back to their innate worth.

Michelle Hollinger

Michelle Hollinger has a healthy obsession with worthiness. She has written two books on the topic and is committed to helping people understand how the subtle presence of unworthiness has them dimming their lights and playing small, going to jobs they hate and tolerating unhealthy relationships. Since worth and joy are soul mates that depend on each other to thrive, she guides people on a journey inward to reconnect with their innate worth and live unapologetically from joy. Using a strength-based, solution-focused approach, Michelle will help you ditch the "when I" syndrome associated with the externally-focused happiness and anchor an inside-out, unconditional experience with joy. Michelle is a New Thought student with a Master Certificate from the Universal Foundation for Better Living. A social worker, sociologist, newspaper editor and magazine publisher, Michelle is fascinated by spirituality and its impact on the human experience. She thrives on helping others to maximize their joy.

Sis, You're Worth It Retreat

Step away from life’s hustle and bustle and ease into the newness of spring and its unlimited possibilities for a much deserved journey inward because, “Sis, You’re Worth It!” Michelle Hollinger, founder and CWO (Chief Worthiness Officer) of The Institute for Worthy Living, has curated a powerful, soul-satisfying gathering - OCTOBER 20-23, 2021 - at the rustic 300-acre Roaring Brooks Ranch in upstate New York’s picturesque Lake George community.

Every aspect of this inaugural event has been thoughtfully considered - the expansive location near the majestic Adirondack Mountains, soothing, guided meditations, innovative multi-sensory workshops, relaxing evenings around the outdoor fireplace, access to nature trails and horseback riding, jaw-dropping goodies awaiting you in your wonderful swag bags and much more!

The theme for our very first retreat focuses on three areas important to women, “Building Wealth, Releasing Fear and Living Unapologetically from Joy." We have created a rich, transformative experience where it’s safe to drop all pretenses as we individually and collectively journey inward to Self - the Self that has been waiting for permission to show up and stand fearlessly in the courage necessary to live her best life. We have limited space, so register now to make sure you're a part of an event we expect to sell out and change lives.

The investment for the four-day retreat is $1250 and includes lodging at the Roaring Brooks Ranch, all meals, retreat registration and workshop material, and enrollment in the post-retreat 21-day excursion. Airfare is not included. A non-refundable deposit of $150 secures your space on a first come, first served basis. Pay in full or take advantage of our convenient payment plans.
