In this episode, Michelle introduces herself through the external qualities that have brought her success on the outside, but more importantly she divulges more in depth on a series of three huge awakenings in her recent life that inspired a journey to self-discovery and full acceptance on the inside. The three big life lessons were prompted through: achievement based self-worth and misleading aspects of self-identity, the loss of a close friend, and health. Her mission with this podcast is to promote radical self-acceptance, overcome fear and self-doubt through open and honest conversations, and to break down the misconception that the outside world can give you the validation, love, and acceptance that you actually need to give to yourself. Thank you for being here!
