40. A Story of Permission and Freedom with Michelle Perkin

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 purposeMichelle reminds us that courage and confidence can be learned, sometimes by looking to others as inspiration; aka channeling your inner Nancy.
