I’m so happy to have one of my dearest friends, Michaela Gasseling, on the podcast today! Michaela is passionate about sharing her powerful story of suffering from emergency brain surgery, and how that’s dramatically impacted her life. In our conversation, we talk about the many trials and self-awareness that Michaela has faced along the way, and how she continues living a life of abundance. From having a surprise 4th baby (and pregnancy that was extremely difficult), to undergoing emergency brain surgery in order to remove a large brain tumor, only mere DAYS after delivering her baby, she’s definitely faced fear, anxiety, and more on her journey.

In this episode, we cover: 

• Michaela’s experience with pre-travel anxiety and fear that led to her surprise 4th baby, and eventually, her unexpected brain tumor and surgery
• The many difficulties Michaela experienced throughout her 4th pregnancy + the discovery of her large brain tumor, and emergency surgery
• How Michaela chose to lean into God and her faith during the most challenging time in her life + the peace she felt when doing so
• How knowing her specific Enneagram type + her husband’s has helped Michaela improve communication and her relationships
• Stepping back into your previous career role after a long hiatus + accepting that it’s okay if motherhood alone doesn’t fulfill you
