It was during a very memorable session with Michele that she surprised me with a question I wasn’t prepared to answer.

It was an issue I had thought of many times, but wasn’t sure I ever wanted discussed. After all, that would mean I’d have to acknowledge this albatross out loud, to someone else, and this was a kind of deep, maybe shameful and embarrassing thought that I’d rather just be burdened with. But it was the way Michele asked the question that allowed me to answer openly and honestly, and for the first time, I could release those burdens.

What a relief! Michele offered a point of view that I hadn’t considered and asked the question in a way that allowed me to reframe the issue. It became a critical turning point in how I approached these concerns, allowing me to respond and react with a new set of behaviors.

I’m forever grateful to Michele for her ability to tap into something, frame it in such a way as to identify new solutions, offering strength and wisdom to tackle it. What a gift!
