- Episode #80 Empowering Women: Fear, the Good & the Bad with Rebecca Wiener McGregorWhat a woman! Over the last 16 years, Rebecca has helped her clients to release old blocks, traumas, loss, and hidden fears to find a deeper sense of self-worth and determination to live life on their own terms. Today, she's going to help you understand 5 aspects of fear:1. How can fear help you find out what is out of alignment with your life?2. Why is fear your friend (even though it sucks)?3. What happens when you attach a judgement to an emotion?4. How does someone make the leap of faith out of suffering into the unknown?5. Why is it important to not judge yourself or your situation when you’re suffering?Join us! Show notes at https://www.tamiwest.com/post/cyh80fear

Michelle Kixmiller, MSN, MAE, RN, APN, PMHNP-BC
Michelle Kixmiller is a Board Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Licensed Educator. She works with children and adults with mental health needs including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, ADHD, autism, schizophrenia, and obsessive compulsive disorder. Michelle served as a public school teacher and science department chair for over a decade when a family tragedy pulled her in a different direction. The death of her younger brother after a multiple year battle with depression and alcoholism led her to pursue a career in the mental health field. She went back to school to become a registered nurse graduating and gaining experience as a critical care nurse at a level 1 regional burn center prior to completing a graduate degree to become a mental health nurse practitioner. Her vision is holistic care through teamwork to create a more peaceful school environment for students and staff alike. No one should have to struggle alone. Michelle currently works full time for a non-profit community mental health center at an outpatient clinic and works PRN for an inpatient crisis stabilization unit. When not at work she loves spending time with family, traveling, watching movies (not scary ones), and running (slowly). Contact Michelle at [email protected].
