She is the award-winning filmmaker of Secrets of Life and Death, a professional speaker and life transformation coach.

Dr. Michelle helps high-achieving, mid-life women who have been thrown off track by a major loss to release their complex grief and transmute it into fuel for their achieving their soul’s purpose. Using her unique framework SERVE, she guides her clients through their grief healing, mind reset, and reconnection to their authentic brilliance.

In this episode:

  • Michelle shares how grief can feel like a heavy fog, but it’s also a doorway to rediscovering your purpose.
  • Michelle talks about how her own grief started with childhood wounds and losing both parents within six months.
  • Michelle explains that complex grief is when old emotional pain gets tangled up in your current loss — and yep, it can sneak up on you.
  • Michelle encourages us to stop pushing down our feelings — bottling them up just leads to stress (hello, stomach knots!).
  • Michelle introduces her SERVE method: Surrender, Engage, Reframe, Vision, Express — five steps to heal and start fresh.
  • Michelle shares how our culture does grief all wrong — rushing through it, hiding emotions, and not giving women time to truly heal.
  • Michelle invites listeners to take her free Complex Grief Checklist to see what might be stuck and get support that actually helps.
