Episode #145: Breaking The Silence: Empowering Survivors Of Abuse

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Michelle R Jewsbury on Take the Leap.

In this episode, we delved into some thought-provoking topics that I believe will resonate with all of you. Here are three key takeaways that I want to share with you:

1. The Power of Vulnerability: Michelle and I discussed the liberating experience of sharing our stories and embracing vulnerability. I shared a personal anecdote about a moment when I stood in front of an audience and confessed, "I cheated on my husband." The reaction from the audience was a mix of shock and empathy. We both emphasized the importance of being honest, transparent, and humble speakers, as it creates a safe space for others to share their pain and trauma. Remember, your story has the power to inspire and connect with others.
2. The Impact of Empathy: We explored the transformative power of empathy in society. Michelle beautifully highlighted how empathy can change the trajectory of our world. By caring and loving one another, we can create a ripple effect of positive change. Let's strive to be more empathetic towards others, as it not only benefits them but also contributes to a more compassionate and understanding society.
3. Taking the Leap: Michelle's message resonated deeply with me as she encouraged listeners to step forward and take action. We discussed the importance of recognizing your worth and embracing your uniqueness. You are the only you that has ever been and ever will be. You matter, and you have the ability to make a significant impact. If you're ready to make a change, Michelle's nonprofit organization is the perfect resource to support you on your journey.

I truly believe that this episode will inspire you to embrace vulnerability, cultivate empathy, and take the leap towards your dreams.
