In this deeply personal episode, I sit down with my dear friend Michele Cloutier, a woman who has inspired me time and again with her fierce wisdom, honesty, and transformational journey. With over 30 years of experience in corporate America—rising all the way from an entry-level position to the CEO seat—Michele opens up like never before. For the first time publicly, she shares the untold story behind her success, the trauma she suppressed, and the awakening that led her to finally find her voice. We talk about what it means to self-abandon, the masks we wear as women, and how healing our inner wounds is the gateway to stepping into our full power.

We also explore the hidden cost of corporate life, the courage it takes to walk away, and what it really looks like to reclaim your truth after decades of playing by someone else’s rules. Whether you're a woman navigating career, motherhood, or personal growth, this conversation will remind you that it’s never too late to heal and rewrite your story. Michele’s story is a masterclass in feminine leadership, emotional freedom, and living in alignment. I’m so honored to share this sacred space with her—and to invite you into the raw, real conversation we’ve been having privately for years.
