“I spent so many years trying to figure out who I am rather than just being who I am and figuring out how to love her.”

What if we remember childhood not by what happened, but by how it felt? In this episode of The Healing in Sharing, returning guest Michelle shares a story built from fragments of memory, emotion, and survival. She opens up about childhood trauma, inherited shame, teen pregnancy, marital violence, motherhood, and the silence that can keep families protecting what should have been named.

Michelle also shares the full-circle moment of talking with her dad before publicly revealing her childhood trauma. Central to the story is the loss of her daughter, Maddie, a grief that transformed Michelle’s view of faith, purpose, and healing. 

This is a raw and honest episode about breaking silence, naming what was never yours to carry, and choosing a different ending.
