“This is only my second day listening to Michelle’s podcasts (and her empathetic presentation of tips on how to empower and help yourself) feels like a lifesaver was just thrown to me just as I was about to drown after being washed out to sea. This past year has been the worst year of my life, my alcoholic husband had a mental breakdown after five years of a relatively smooth sailing happy marriage (or so I thought) No one understood. I turned to crisis lines but those were geared towards suicidal people and I was rushed off the phone! I tried domestic abuse hotlines, my general practitioner, my friends who all did their best but the general consensus was that I should leave for my safety - which made me feel judged and invalidated. I am a successful confident mother and wife who is professionally motivated and successful. I courted and won the heart of the man of my dreams. Damned if I was going to give up on him when he was at his lowest. What hurt the most was that I never felt heard, never felt understood —> all the advice and support from friends and support hotlines had the unintentional effect of making me feel guilty and ashamed and unheard. Michelle with her uplifting supportive tone for the first time since This all began - lifted me up - without any pressure to leave my husband and break up my wonderful family. I am love him, we will win and get through this - but if we don’t there are still ways I can be happy, love him and protect my children. I can’t get enough, hang on to every word Michelle has to say - and feel a gust of wind beneath my wings. Thank you thank you thank you Michelle. I look forward to taking one of your courses soon!”
