Hey there, I'm Michelle Akin.  I'm a writer, a singer, a coach, a mom, and a leader. I've had my life public online since before it was cool. As of Fall 2018 I am separating my business from my personal accounts, so if you scroll down you will see copious baby photos and musings on millennial mom life. Enjoy. Nice to meet you!
It’s like a deleted scene from my own video. Or like a director’s commentary!

Here are some harmonies I didn’t do in the video I just posted. They also have a good mouth feel.

I have wanted to cover this @billieeilish song (“Bury a Friend”) for so long, but without rhythm it just doesn’t come through on piano, and the beat is too random for me to play piano and hit a drum.

Enter: the cup!

Tip: when someone tells you they stopped drinking, that’s not your cue to explain why you drink.

Being Married Sucks – Michelle Akin – Medium
December 24, 2018
I woke up today and realized it was my wedding anniversary. My husband was up already, and in his office. I hadn’t seen him yet.

I got this idea, so I wrote and published it on my phone and then g-chatted it to him. Then I laid in bed smiling while I listened to him laugh hysterically as he read it in the other room :)
