Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, or even a version of ourselves, grief changes us. It’s not something we “get over”; it’s something we learn to live with and grow through. I'm excited to welcome Lydia Ford, a compassionate grief counselor and author of the journal "The ABCs of Grief," to join me in this honest conversation titled "From Heartache to Healing: Living through Grief." During this episode, Lydia and I will explore what grief looks like, why it’s different for everyone, and how we can begin to find peace and meaning on the other side of loss. So, if you’re grieving or you love someone who is, I invite you to take a deep breath, find a quiet space, and join us for a conversation I hope will guide you toward healing.

Well...When I first introduced my Strive to Thrive series for my video podcast (Real Conversations with Michelle), my focus -under the finance umbrella - was retirement planning. However, with unexpected layoffs, the rising cost of some essential items, and the negative impact of market fluctuations on investments (to name a few things), I recognize that expanding this finance topic could benefit a broader audience. As a result, the finance topic for this series is "Mastering Your Money and Retirement Planning in Uncertain Times." 📅 Save the date - March 20th @ 7 p.m. - for this meaningful conversation.

If being healthier is a priority for you in 2025, you don't want to miss the launch episode for the new Strive to Thrive series of my podcast Real Conversations with Michelle. The first episode is "Eat to Win: Nutrition and Mindset Shifts." Throughout my experience with various fitness programs over the years, one key takeaway emphasized is that 80% of our success is determined by what we eat. The realization may require us to shift our mindset around "dieting, explore our relationship with food and understand the triggers that influence our food choices. With the above in mind, I am excited to welcome two special guests for this episode, Jasmine Westbrooks-Figaro Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist and Co-founder of the Eatwell Exchange, Inc., and Joy Kagendo, PhD, a fitness instructor and senior lecturer for the Department of Health and Exercise Studies at NC State University.
