Some conversations don’t feel like interviews.
They feel like sitting across from a woman who gets it. 💜

In this episode of Dare to Care with Michelle, I’m joined by leadership and transformational coach Claire Adamou, author of Life After Divorce: From Surviving to Thriving 📖✨ and what unfolds is honest, real, and deeply human.

We talk about the part of divorce no one warns you about.
The identity shift.
The quiet grief.
The “Who am I now?” moments.

Claire shares her journey through toxic relationships, single motherhood, and the brave decision to rebuild her life with intention instead of fear. We talk about common emotions after divorce 💔, practical steps women can take before making the leap, the importance of self-care 🧘‍♀️, and what healing actually looks like in real life.

This isn’t surface-level advice.
It’s two women talking about reinvention, resilience, and rising 🌅

If you’re navigating divorce, questioning your identity, or standing at the edge of change, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

You are allowed to begin again. 🌿

And if you’re new here, I’m Michelle Weihman, empowerment coach, nurse leader, and your host. I help women reconnect with their power during seasons of change, burnout, and reinvention. Because caring about yourself is not weakness… it’s strength. 💪💜

In this powerful, honest, and deeply human conversation, Michelle sits down with Diego Trujillo, CEO of Las Vegas HEALS, to talk about what it really means to lead, serve, and care inside a healthcare system that desperately needs both innovation and heart.

Diego’s journey into healthcare did not start with medicine.
It started with theology, hospice work, and sitting with families during their most vulnerable moments.

From caring for his father through dialysis and end-of-life decisions, to stepping into a CEO role one week before a global shutdown, Diego shares what happens when calling meets courage.

✨ Why healthcare shortages are not just staffing problems, but systems and values problems
✨ What families are never taught about navigating healthcare until they are forced to
✨ Nursing burnout, leadership gaps, and why unity matters more than competition
✨ The thin line between faith, foolishness, and perseverance
✨ Why success is not money or titles, but impact, legacy, and people

Diego shares several ways listeners can stay engaged with the work being done to strengthen healthcare in Nevada and beyond.

This one is different.
• Ride-alongs in real Porsche race cars
• Drift team experiences
• Not a gala. Not a golf tournament.
• An unforgettable way to support healthcare workforce advancement.

This conversation is about daring to dream bigger than the current system, daring to act before you feel ready and daring to care for yourself so you can truly care for others.

In this episode, I talk with ER nurse and author Jenn Johnson 💫

Jenn learned to trust her intuition by listening to her body.
She could feel what was happening with her patients before the tests ever showed it.

She also opens up about being bullied in multiple ER jobs.
How she handled it.
How she grew.
And how she refused to shrink herself.

Jenn’s new book Nursing Intuition breaks down the science behind that gut feeling nurses get.
And how it can save time, stress, and lives.

Jenn is wise, grounded, and full of experience.
You will love this episode.

In this episode of Dare to Care, host Michelle Weihman sits down with the brilliant and bold Dr. Mary Ann Martin, affectionately known as Dr. Hormone Hacker.

As a double board‑certified physician in Internal Medicine and Endocrinology—and voted Best Endocrinologist in Nevada in 2024—Dr. Martin is redefining the healthcare landscape.

She shares how she shifts the model from “sick care” to proactive, root‑cause health by truly listening, diving deep into hormonal evaluations, and equipping patients with lifestyle tools to restore vitality and prevent illness.

✨ Get ready to rethink what healthcare can look like when prevention, empowerment, and true care take center stage.

In today’s episode, I welcome returning guest Linda Brand—Worthy and Abundant Coach, podcast host, EFT practitioner, and a living, breathing reminder that it's never too late to change your life.

We talk about radical self-love, mindset blocks, and the power of rewriting your story… but we also slow down to talk about her dog Lucky—and the surprising, soulful lessons she’s learned from having him by her side.

✨ You’ll hear:

• How Linda went from 30 years in real estate to building a coaching business in Florida

• What radical self-love really means—and how it transforms your life

• The beliefs that keep women stuck (and how to break free)

• And how a rescue pup named Lucky became one of her greatest teachers 🐶

“You are worthy of all your desires—and it starts with the beliefs you choose.”

It’s Freedom Friday, and today we’re ending Nourish Week with a gentle, powerful 3-round EFT tapping session (also known as Emotional Freedom Technique).

If you’ve never done tapping before—don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it. You can tap along, speak the words out loud, or simply listen and receive the shift. Either way, this is your invitation to let go of the “shoulda’s” and come back to what actually supports you.

💜 In this session, we’ll tap on:

• Releasing guilt and pressure

• Receiving nourishment without conditions

• Reclaiming your worth, your peace, and your power

✨ Your care doesn’t have to be earned.
✨ Your needs are valid.
✨ Your freedom starts with presence.

🌀 This week’s affirmation:
“I create a life that nourishes every part of me.”

Always remember that Caring is Cool.

It’s Thankful Thursday, and this week we’re focused on one powerful word: nourish.

And yes—when life is loud, messy, and overwhelming, gratitude can feel far away.
But sometimes the most nourishing thing you can do… is to pause, be present, and thank yourself.

Not for being perfect.
Not for doing it all.
But for simply showing up again.
Still breathing.
Still trying.
Still loving through it all.

✨ In today’s DDL, I’m inviting you to reflect on:

• What’s quietly going right this week?

• What’s nourishing you—even in small, unseen ways?

• And where can you thank yourself for choosing care, even in the chaos?

💜 Maybe you drank more water.
💜 Maybe you said no.
💜 Maybe you softened instead of snapping.

Whatever it was—celebrate it.
You deserve your own gratitude.

🌀 This week’s affirmation:
“I create a life that nourishes every part of me.”

This week, we’re talking all about nourishment—and today, I want to talk about something that quietly steals it from us: the “shoulda.”

“I shoulda worked out.”
“I shoulda said yes.”
“I shoulda been more disciplined.”

We’ve all been there. But those “shoulda” thoughts? They don’t serve your wellness.
They’re rooted in guilt, shame, and pressure to perform.
And they disconnect you from what you actually need.

💜 So here’s your reminder:
Wellness isn’t about punishment.
It’s about presence.

Today’s reflection invites you to ask:
✨ What truly nourishes me right now?
✨ What does my nervous system need?
✨ Where can I drop the “shoulda” and choose support instead?

Whether it’s rest, movement, a boundary, or a nap in the sunshine—you get to decide.
Wellness is yours to define.

“I create a life that nourishes every part of me.”

Welcome back to your Daily Dose of Love 💜

Today, I’m sharing a quick story about my sweet Carly—13 years old, 15 pounds, and full of furbaby wisdom I didn’t know I needed.

We’ve been shifting our pups to homemade food—real chicken, veggies, pumpkin love—but the moment I pulled out the kibble completely? Carly gave me that look…
“Ma’am… where is the crunch?” 😂

And it hit me—how often do we do the same thing?
We check all the boxes: smoothies, gratitude journals, prayer, podcast.
But still, something feels... off.

This episode is your invitation to ask:
✨ What’s your version of the crunch?
✨ What actually satisfies you—mind, body, and soul?
✨ What would make your nourishment feel complete?

Take a breath, tune in, and tell the truth about what you really need.

“I create a life that nourishes every part of me.”
