Drawing from her life in medicine, trauma, divorce, and renewal, Michele shares what it means to live truthfully when there are no guarantees—only the possibility of presence, care, and beauty in the breaking.
Topics We Cover:
- Finding grounding in the middle of chaos
- Why ER medicine is a mirror of life’s uncertainty
- Radical honesty as a spiritual practice
