⚠️ Trigger Warning - This episode contains mentions of child abuse and parental neglect. ⚠️

The thought of anyone harming a child is almost unbearable, and yet every year, more than half a million children in the US endure some form of abuse or neglect. These early experiences leave deep scars, reshaping not only emotional well-being but also brain development.

Childhood maltreatment often leads to lifelong struggles with anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, and difficulty in forming healthy relationships. Neglect in particular is devastating, leaving children without the emotional or physical support they need to thrive.

Today’s guest, Michelle Bishop, knows this reality firsthand. She survived a childhood filled with neglect and abuse and has transformed her story of survival into one of resilience, healing, and reclaiming her voice.

Michelle Bishop is a survivor and a fighter. She has faced a toxic upbringing, domestic violence, the loss of her soulmate, battling COVID at its peak, body image challenges, weight loss struggles, and breast cancer.
