What do a “Twilight” vampire, “Big Bang Theory” actress, “Pirates of the Caribbean” actor, NBC Director and Hollywood celebrity stylist all have in common? They are all clients of celebrity numerologist Michelle Arbeau.
A native of Canada and newly minted Californian, Arbeau is an internationally recognized celebrity numerologist, author, inspirational speaker and radio/TV host. Numerology allows Arbeau to combine her love of numbers with her passion for helping others find purpose.
Arbeau released two books in 2013, “The Energy of Words: Use the Vibration of Language to Manifest the Life You Desire” and “Soul Numbers: Decipher the Message from Your Inner Self to Successfully Navigate Life” and is a media favorite, regularly appearing on CBC Radio, CTV Morning Live and Breakfast Television. Arbeau can also be heard on LA Talk Radio as a guest on Cathy DeBuono‘s “Cathy is In” radio show.
We forgot to ask Arbeau if she thought our “Fast 5” would be a successful feature, but she did agree to answer a handful of questions for us.
1. What song can you not get enough of right now?
I really dig “The Monster” by Eminem ft. Rihanna. I can relate to it on so many levels. I drive my partner crazy in the car because she hates it. But the radio station we listen to plays it often so I always crank it up.
2. What are you most looking forward to in 2014?
I made the move to Los Angeles after finally getting my 0-1 visa in December (I’m Canadian) so I’m giddy with excitement for 2014. My multi-book tour is just starting, working on some docs with a fabulously crazy director (good crazy) and I want to write my third book this year. That’s just a few things I’m working on. I’m a very restless person who always has to have my hands in the next project or I go stir-crazy. I usually have a zillion things on the go at once.
3. What would be your best piece of relationship advice?
For many years of my life I was a people-pleaser who gave away my personal power and self-respect to pretty much everyone. The one piece of advice I would give anyone in any relationship is to be sure there is respect present. Whether it’s a partner, friend, family member, co-worker, etc. – it doesn’t matter. We’re all human beings and absolutely deserve respect. It’s the cornerstone of any connection.
4. What was the last movie you went to the theater to see?
“Carrie.” I’m not a big fan of any kind of TV/film unless I can walk away from it feeling like I learned something from it. Entertainment for pure enjoyment is something I rarely do but sometimes I like to watch paranormal-related TV/film because I’ve always been fascinated by the realm of the supernatural.
5. If they started offering free trips to the moon tomorrow, would you sign up to go?
Absolutely! I’ve always been one to jump on a plane or in the car at a moment’s notice to chase a chance opportunity, making seemingly random choices that most people would think were crazy but going with my gut has served me well in building my platform/career.
I’m a firm believer that anything is possible and the moon/space is the ultimate example of a vast expansion of endless possibilities. A trip to the moon would be the ultimate risk-taking thrill – I’m in!
