After years of playing the role of child caregiver to her bipolar mother, Michelle embarked on her own healing journey of self-discovery. She also knows first-hand what it feels like to struggle with a mental illness after experiencing my own depression due to her divorce. Michelle went on to spend years working to eradicate the mental health stigma within her own workplace by elevating empathy and compassion, causing more open conversations, and leading real change in how mental illness is understood. She was instrumental in building the largest and fastest growing employee mental health employee resource group while at her fortune 500 company. She partners with innovative organizations that really care about their people to re-center their staff through her powerful People Leader Resilience Workshops and 1:1 Resilience Coaching which provide tangible daily strategies to preserve well-being. In her practice, she works to help staff reclaim balance, their power, and create better structures and routines that help them feel better and in control of their emotional well-being. Michelle believes that every organization can have a culture of compassion and a resilient workforce.
