39. Mother of a disabled child honors his life through advocacy
Michelle knows the questions to ask and has a heart of compassion to hear the answers. I was asked to share my story on this episode, but I wasn’t prepared for the deep connection that she so willingly allowed as we talked. Her own life experience empowers her to get to the real issues for those who have suffered loses.
I highly recommend her podcast! She is well qualified.
Thank you for your work., Michelle.

Grief is Shared - Sharing is strength
I love this podcast because it allows us to learn from others through their experiences with loss, and how to weather the grief experience. Michelle allows her guests to explore with us the changes and emotions of their lives. There are so many facets and variations of loss, but we all feel grief and must walk in its midst. Hearing how it has affected others gives me hope in the middle of my grief. Thanks for all you do.
Losing my daughter and gaining eternal perspective
Michelle Heaton is a professional podcast interviewer. We first had a discussion on my story and Michelle shared her story. I knew I was at the right place and we proceeded to the next step, scheduling the interview. I found Michael filled with compassion and she let me do the interview with ease. I would go on her show again anytime she’d ask. It was a marvelous interview and I thank her for having this platform for me to be on. Carole Sluski
