This episode was a long time coming, and now I understand why. The timing wasn’t just perfect, it was divine. I sat down with the incredible Michelle, a woman whose heart, honesty, and healing journey moved me deeply. What started as a random moment sitting beside each other at an event turned into a connection that would unfold years later in this episode.

Michelle opens up about the loss of her mother, the attachment she carried, and how the fear of being alone silently shaped her life, her business, and her identity. We talk about surrendering, ownership, generational healing, and how our deepest fears can quietly run the show, until we decide otherwise.

If you’ve ever struggled with people-pleasing, rejection, or feeling responsible for everyone’s happiness but your own, this one’s for you. Michelle’s story is proof: healing doesn’t come when we want it, it comes when we’re ready.
