The Cheer Up Luv Podcast: Michelle Elman The Cheer Up Luv Podcast

In today's show I'm speaking to life coach, activist and author Michelle Elman. You might be familiar with Michelle’s work from her notable campaign, Scarred not Scared, which came about after Michelle decided there was little representation for people who had scars. Having had many surgeries herself, Michelle wanted to use her platform and share her experience to let others know that they were not alone. In todays episode we talk about the importance of enthusiastic consent, setting boundaries and how to recognise gaslighting behaviour.

TW: In this episode we will be reading out an experience of sexual harassment to discuss and myth bust.
