In this moving episode, Michelle Perkin shares her permission story of shedding the T-shirt she once wore in the water as protection—a symbol of body image struggles that eventually became a weight holding her back. By removing the t-shirt and experiencing the new found freedom, she reminds us that those things that hold us back can show up in many different forms.
She opens up about her brave decision to leave an abusive relationship, the strength it took to seek refuge in a women’s shelter, and how that very shelter later became the workplace where she now serves and empowers others. Through her story, Michelle reminds us that healing is possible, resilience is powerful, and our greatest challenges can become the foundation for our purpose
Michelle reminds us that courage and confidence can be learned, sometimes by looking to others as inspiration; aka channeling your inner Nancy. You'll need to listen to find out the details of this one. Take a listen!
Meet Michelle:
I go by many names, often it’s Michelle, the kids call me Shell. The most important name I have is Mom. I believe that your breath is your medicine. Which lead me to have the name of trauma informed breathwork facilitator. I started my breathwork journey in search of healing my own trauma. Looking to heal the names of girl with anxiety and depression. Girl with PSTD. Girl without a Mom, to name a few that really hurt. I’ve been on a journey of loving my inside and outside in every season I’m in. It’s not easy, it worth it. I’m worth it and so are you! Let’s breathe a life of freedom and love. Embracing each name you’ve ever experienced, it’s all apart of the journey
