My super fun, super special, and super heartfelt interview with the queen of surviving and thriving Michelle Buteau is out today! Michelle's story is beyond inspiring, and this small clip shows you how she did more than just manifest her dreams...she took charge of her life and ignored all the nay sayers. This #aspoonfulofpaolo episode is bursting joy and love and a few surprises. I had so much fun talking with Michelle about her Oprah & Julia Child-inspired childhood to her stand up comedy to her hit Netflix show #SurvivalOfTheThickest! This will be an episode I will never forget because I walked away with a big boost of confidence and love for myself, and I hope you will too. Link in bio for the full episode, and let me know what you think in the comments!
