Resilient Voices Episode 17 - "Rooted Resilience Across Continents"

In this episode of Resilient Voices, Michelle France shares the powerful moments that shaped her resilience—from her early years navigating identity during apartheid-era South Africa, to rebuilding a life across continents, and facing the life-altering challenge of open-heart surgery in her 30s. Michelle reflects on how moving through unexpected adversity—from social backlash in her youth to a life-threatening diagnosis—taught her where true support comes from, and how staying curious and open-hearted helped her find strength she didn’t know she had. This deeply human conversation invites us to consider what resilience really looks like when control slips away—and how courage can emerge in both the choices we make and the circumstances we never asked for.
