Jennifer Lee/Michelle C. Butler

Healing After Loss. Finding Hope. Transforming Grief.

After the tragic loss of her daughter, Maddisyn Colleen, to a shallow water blackout, Michelle shares her journey through grief, guilt, and PTSD. She opens up about the emotional challenges of loss, the wisdom Maddi left behind, and how her daughter’s passing became a catalyst for growth.

In this heartfelt episode, Michelle explores unconventional healing methods from meditation to ketamine therapy, while building a supportive community for others coping with similar pain. Her book, Please Don’t Say That Sht*, offers guidance on navigating grief and responding to unhelpful comments with compassion. This conversation is a reminder that even in the darkest moments, hope, healing, and resilience are possible.
