Wisdom from the wreckage. A journey of healing, truth and transformation.
About Michelle
Michelle Cashman’s music is reminiscent of the waters returning to the ocean at the inlet—sometimes serene, sometimes wild, always full of beauty and depth. At times, her voice floats over melody with quiet grace; at others, it becomes a riptide, surging and roaring, threatening to swallow you whole.
Imagine Jason Isbell's introspection delivered with a feminine elegance, a powerful fusion of folk storytelling and Americana grit. Michelle's songs walk the line between reverence and confession. There's a longing in her songs that echoes Leonard Cohen, a deep calling to turn the broken into something beautiful. Marked by the scars of wreckage and survival, yet delicately woven with threads of hope, her music is both a refuge and a reckoning.
Born and belonging to the wild beauty of the New South Wales South Coast, where dense bushland meets the sea, Michelle’s journey has been one of resilience, spirituality, and deep emotional truth. Her music and teachings, rich with themes of self-worth, healing, and belonging, act as both compass and sanctuary for those finding their way home to themselves. With a voice that holds both strength and tenderness, she weaves melody and meaning into something that lingers long after the last note fades.
“Michelle’s music is full of heart and soul. Her songs bring us comfort, let us embrace a bittersweet memory, or stand beside us while we fight our demons.
After listening to Michelle’s music our hearts always feel a bit lighter, our trials easier to bear. ”

Music
I’ve been writing songs since I was fourteen years old. It’s always been like musical therapy. Every lyric encapsulates my experiences, emotions, observations and invaluable life lessons. My Americana inspired folk and alt. country songs are like melody-filled journal entries, each marking distinct chapters of my life.
Blog
I explore and write about topics that are crucial to my own healing and development, such as childhood trauma, recovery, resilience, and personal growth. My blog serves as a space for me to share the knowledge I gain through ongoing research and learning. Here, you'll find resources I've created, stories from my life, and the songs that underscore my personal journey.

Trauma plants its roots deep within our psyche, growing like an unchecked weed that shadows every corner of our emotional garden. It's not the kind of plant you nurtured or wished for—it's an invader, sprung from seeds sown by circumstances beyond your control. Childhood trauma, that unwelcome visitor, can loom over you, casting a long shadow across many facets of adult life. But what if you could confront this formidable presence in your garden?
