Episode Summary
*disclaimer: this episode contains conversation about pregancy loss and trauma related events. Listen within your own guidance and reach out to others if necessary.
After going through a storm there is often a rainbow on the other side and Michelle Fletcher has witnessed her fair share of rainbows. Michelles story cannot pass by without impacting you in some way shape or form. She knows that our difficulties or hardships don't define who we are completely, the experiences shape and develop us throughout our lives. Listen as Linda and Michelle talk about:
- Her experience alongside her mother who fell pregnant young, divorced soon after and the bond formed with her Nanny which helped her through
- Working four jobs in order to provide for your children what you feel that you didn't have and being in a position to simply work to pay off debt and buy basic groceries
- Stubbornly selecting your health as a priority, flipping the switch on your life and inspiring those around you to do the same
- Her baby in the stars, rainbow children and grief mixed with joy throughout her life
We cannot begin to imagine half of what Michelle has witnessed in her lifetime. She provides a fresh and undeniable set of eyes on so many situations. A wonderful and impactful conversation.
