What if the version of you that the world sees isn’t the real you? What if the woman you’ve become is shaped more by expectations than by truth? In this episode of Women Thrive, we discussed deep into the power of authenticity and breaking free from the boxes society puts us in with Mickell Dent — a therapist, transformational mindset expert, and the powerhouse behind GLOW 414 Inc. and the Boss Fly Girl Movement.

Known to many as Therapist Mickell D, she’s on a mission to help women unmask, heal, and reclaim the parts of themselves they’ve been told to hide. Through her groundbreaking ABC Theory (Addiction, Behavior, Consequences) and her work with EMDR therapy, Mickell transforms pain into purpose and survival into strategy.

In this conversation, she shares her own journey of shedding expectations, embracing vulnerability, and rewriting her story — and she invites you to do the same. This episode is your reminder that authenticity isn’t rebellion — it’s freedom.
