Michelle
Honest. Vulnerable. Refreshing. Our Courage Speaks podcast gives you all the feels while addressing some real life topics. We offer weekly convos on all things mental health, becoming our best selves, learning to live unapologetically, with a bunch of my life experiences thrown in there.
Feel the fear, but do it anyway! We each have a unique relationship with fear...one that keeps us stuck or keeps us moving. But listen in on our most recent Courage Speaks podcast as I share one of my fear stories. I also ask you some questions to get you moving on your journey! Tune in, comment, and then share.
Riddle me this: What is something we all have but NO ONE wants to talk about? This week I am joined by a special guest, Dr. LaToya K. Williams, to answer that very question. We are talking about how shame impacts our lives and how we show up in different relationships, and then, we share some strategies on how to recognize how shame shows up in our lives.

-What is shame!
-The difference between shame and guilt!
-How to get rid of shame and live fully AND authentically!

In this episode, we will be talking about grief. Most often, we associate grief with death, but it actually speaks to any type of loss…the loss of a life, a relationship, your livelihood, and many other things. Grief is described as response to loss, it is a natural response to the loss. Grief ebbs and flows. It comes in waves, when it wants to, when it isn'tconvenient, and often right after you’ve convinced yourself that you are over ‘it’. In this episode, we:
- Learned about the FIVE stages of grief:
- denial
- anger
- bargaining
- depression
- acceptance
- Shared personal stories of loss.
- Discussed other types of loss.
- Answer some listeners questions.
