Me with my Dad

PositiveHug was created by Michelle after experiencing firsthand how powerful the right words at the right time can be

Do you believe in cosmic downloads?

In the spring of 2023, my life felt incredibly heavy. I was navigating the grief of losing my Dad and my little Pomeranian, called Twirl, while also struggling in a work environment that no longer felt healthy or supportive. I felt overwhelmed, disconnected, and unsure of what the future held, like a light had quietly gone out.

One afternoon, I sat alone in my garden, tears streaming, letting the moment be what it was. And in that stillness, a supportive quote I had read years earlier resurfaced in my mind, words that arrived gently, but powerfully, exactly when I needed them.

It reminded me how powerful the right words at the right time can be. They truly changed the trajectory of my day.

That moment planted the seed for PositiveHug.

I began to wonder: what if more people had access to kind, positive, or reassuring words, not something they had to search online for, but something they stumbled upon whilst going about their day? Could reading a simple message spark a moment of comfort, courage, or even hope in someone’s day?

My Mission

PositiveHug was born from that question.

PositiveHug's mission is simple: to create wearable reminders that help people feel supported, empowered, and a little less alone. To gently challenge negative self-talk. To spread self-love, social kindness and promote self-worth in ways that feel natural, authentic, and real.

Each collection reflects different expressions of positivity, because no two people (or journeys) are the same.

PositiveHug is more than clothing & gifts.

It’s a statement. It's a reminder that you matter.

And that small acts of kindness can ripple further than we ever see.

Me, my Son (aka Muffin) & little Twirl

My mental health is still something I care for daily, but I’ve made changes that have brought me closer to a life that feels aligned. I left that workplace, retrained as a personal stylist, mentor and coach (https://beyondthetrends.com) and finally stepped toward a dream I’d held for many years, helping women feel seen, empowered, and authentically themselves.

PositiveHug feels like part of that same calling.

It’s taken time, courage, and a leap of faith to bring it all together, but it truly feels like it was meant to be.

Thank you for being here! 🌈💕

Thank you for wearing your PositiveHug and showing the world who you are.
