Ten things
I Believe About You
1.
You are better than the stories you tell yourself about yourself.
Take a moment. Have you listened to that inner voice? Is it telling you that you’re not good enough because… fill in the blank? Well, let me tell you, that’s complete BS. You are not defined by those doubts. When was the last time you grabbed pen and paper and listed everything that makes you incredible? If it’s been a while, today’s the perfect day to do it. Go ahead, it’s time.
2.
You are not defined by the worst days of your life.
Your past is just a chapter, not the whole book. We all have things we regret, but what really matters is what you do next. Let your mistakes be the fuel that drives your transformation. You are not the sum of your mistakes; you are the sum of the choices you make to rise above them.
3.
You can overcome anything to become the best version of yourself.
You can overcome to become. No matter what keep your dreams alive. Choose people who lift you up, inspire and motivate you. Give yourself grace, have patience and know that every setback is just another step toward becoming your best self. You’ve got what it takes to rise up again and again.

“Having worked with Michelle a couple of times now, I can truly attest to her tenacity, vulnerability and strength. She is a powerhouse of a human, who has seen the worst side of life and came out of it with grace and a kind heart. By sharing her story, Michelle has an incredible ability to touch any type of audience and pull at their heartstrings, even if they cannot directly relate to her story. People make mistakes in life, but Michelle proves that no matter how many or what mistakes you may make, there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, you just have to continue to push through the darkness."
- Anastasia Zolides

Her ability to deeply engage with the audience, combined with the way she shares her personal journey in such a raw, vulnerable, and relatable manner, left a lasting and profound impact on me. Michelle helped me reframe my struggles, offering fresh perspectives and practical tools to create a brighter and more fulfilling future. Her wisdom, authenticity, and genuine compassion truly shine through in every word she speaks. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle as a public speaker"
