The Blind Chick

Aftersight Ep. 23: Michelle Smith, Focus on yourself, love yourself


Listen Later

Michelle has put the work in. At birth, her parents were told she would never be able to walk - but today she’s able to do that, and so much more. She skis, rafts, boats, rides a horse...
Michelle talks with Penn about the barriers that she faced starting at a very young age. She talks about how hard it was to have her disabilities recognized, how overwhelming it was to be diagnosed with Cerebral Palsy, and about the catharsis that came with her diagnosis. She explores her growth and her and how she came to love herself. That love helped her to heal and to grow. And now that she’s accepted who she is, she has moved to help others who are struggling. Michelle tutors and has mentored. She’s a monumental person!
Join Penn and Michelle today on Aftersight!
