Michelle Cardinal isn’t your average vocal coach. She’s not interested in pitch or performance—she’s here for something much deeper: freedom.
As founder of Sing With Chelley, Cardinal guides people from trauma to truth through song—and she does it through the power of Christ.
“Singing has always been my lifeline. But I didn’t find peace until I met Jesus,” she says.
From Searching to Singing for Something Greater
Michelle’s path wasn’t linear. After years of trauma and experimenting with dozens of spiritual practices, she found herself empty—and still stuck.
“I was coaching, healing, speaking, but inside I was broken.”
The turning point came during a moment of worship, when she surrendered her life to Christ. “In 24 hours, my whole body, soul, and voice transformed.”
From Rock Bottom to Rising Praise
At one point, Michelle and her young daughter were homeless. Living in a bus on Mt. Shasta, she felt hopeless, ashamed, and exhausted.
“I thought I had nothing left. But God had a plan all along.”
She now believes those dark seasons were the soil in which God planted her new mission.
“He stripped away every false foundation, so He could rebuild me on truth.”
Purpose in Praise
Michelle now coaches clients not only in expression but in worship. She helps them write personal prayer songs and reclaim the courage to speak truth, rooted in Scripture and surrender.
“When people sing their prayers, it activates something holy. It’s not therapy—it’s transformation.”
Advice to Aspiring Entrepreneurs
“Don’t build on trends. Build on the Rock.”
Michelle’s advice to others? Stop looking for healing in worldly ways and start building with Christ at the center.
The Road Ahead
Michelle is preparing to release two major works: her children’s book, Sing With Me, on December 1, 2025, and her spiritual guide for adults, Why We Sing, in Spring 2026.
She continues to develop Get Vocal with Michelle, a podcast series sharing praise, testimonies, and interviews about the power of voice and faith.
“This is just the beginning. Everything I create now flows from Him.”
