Episode 58 - Michelle Anhang - Secrets, Shame and Stigma - Breaking free from our self-imposed prisons

from Neff Inspiration · host Neff Inspiration

At 34 years old, Michelle suddenly found herself widowed after her husband died by suicide, leaving her to raise her two young sons alone. The family, having hidden his mental illness, chose to say he died in accident to avoid dealing with the stigma and shame. Carrying this secret for over 10 years impacted Michelle’s own mental and physical health until she could no longer take the pain. Michelle speaks about her journey through healing the trauma and realizing her life purpose. She now shares her inspiring story and supports others who are living with similar experiences to find their personal freedom. Michelle Anhang, BA, PCC, CPCC, is a Certified Life Coach who specializes in supporting individuals and families living with mental health challenges as well as those moving forward after loss. Her customized practice draws from an academic background in psychology, as well as training in mindfulness & meditation, leadership skills, and co-active coaching techniques.  In addition to coaching, Michelle is a motivational speaker who shares her story of becoming widowed at the age of 34 when her husband died by suicide, and how she navigated her way through stigma, shame, and her own mental health challenges to rebuild her life intentionally.  Michelle's top 3 tips:  1. We’re only as sick as our secrets (Our inner critics/gremlins are liars) 2. It’s never too late to begin again 3. Freedom and joy live on the other side of secrets and shame, and we owe it to ourselves to get there If you want to learn more about Michelle, check out the following links!
