You don't have to follow someone else’s definition of success to create a life that lights you up. Sitting down with Dr. Michelle Montero reminded me of the power in honoring your personal values—especially when the world expects you to hustle nonstop. Michelle’s journey from academia to entrepreneurship shows what happens when you stop living in survival mode and start trusting yourself deeply. We talked about mindset shifts, the weight of invisible expectations, and how choosing joy can be one of the most radical things you do. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a life that looks “right” but doesn’t feel right—this one’s for you.

About Me:

I have cared for many family members across the life span, experiencing the joys and challenges of child-rearing, the poignance of caring for parents, friends, and elder partners. I realized that I could not handle the stress of family caregiving 24/7/365. It was time for a new approach to caring. My health and happiness were slipping away. This is how Think to Thrive for Caregivers evolved. Let your mind meet your heart so you don’t lose track of your life.
