  5. Where Healing Meets Liberation

    21 DE JAN.

    Where Healing Meets Liberation

    What if the things you’ve been told are “your issues” are actually justified reactions to the world around you? In this powerful conversation, Michelle sits down with licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Raquel Martin to unpack boundaries, burnout, Black Superwoman syndrome, and what liberation psychology teaches us about healing beyond the individual. Together, they explore why strength can become a cage, how community is our greatest mental health resource, and why some behaviors once saved us — even if they no longer serve us. From redefining imposter syndrome to burning the cape, this episode challenges the way we talk about mental health, power, and survival. It’s honest, funny, deeply affirming, and necessary. If you’ve ever felt exhausted by being strong, unseen in healing spaces, or pressured to carry everything alone — this conversation is for you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

    As we close out 2025, Michelle takes a powerful pause to reflect on one word that carried so many of us through the year: resilience. In this heartfelt final episode of the year, she unpacks what resilience really means—beyond just “bouncing back”—and how mental, emotional, and spiritual flexibility helped us survive loss, uncertainty, burnout, and unexpected challenges. From navigating personal health scares and demanding work schedules to processing grief, trauma, and major life transitions, Michelle shares real-life moments that prove resilience isn’t about avoiding pain—it’s about learning how to recover, regulate, and keep moving forward. She explores emotional regulation, self-care, collaboration, asking for help, protecting your heart and mind, and why community is essential for long-term healing. Whether 2025 was a year of love, loss, or lessons for you, this episode is a reminder: you made it—and your story isn’t over yet. As we step into 2026, Michelle encourages us to stay grounded in purpose, remain flexible with our goals, and continue building the inner strength that got us here.
