In this inspiring episode of the Write To Rise Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Michelle RosaBarz—mom, medical professional turned entrepreneur, and now, aspiring author. Michelle opens up about her journey of resilience and reinvention, sharing the powerful story behind her upcoming book, Uprooted and Unstoppable: Embracing the Power of the Pivot.

We dive into what it really means to pivot in life—whether it's shifting careers, navigating motherhood, or stepping into entrepreneurship. As the first in her family to graduate from high school, college, and graduate school, Michelle’s path has been anything but linear. From working in radiology and intensive care to launching Mami Works Design Studio, a creative agency serving women in healthcare, Michelle has turned every twist into a new beginning.

Now a member of the Inspired Author Program, Michelle is writing a book for every woman who's ever had to make a bold change and wondered if she was alone. Spoiler: you’re not—and Michelle’s story is proof.

Tune in to hear:

How Michelle found clarity after a life-changing moment

What it looks like to build a purpose-driven business while raising a family

Her vision for her book and the women it’s meant to serve

This episode is a celebration of courage, creativity, and the unstoppable power of change. Let Michelle’s journey remind you that your pivot might just be the path to your purpose.
