In this heartfelt conversation, Deidre sits down with her friend and client, Michelle, to explore what it truly means to step into the next version of yourself. Michelle shares her powerful 7-month transformation — from feeling stuck in a job that no longer aligned with her truth, to completely realigning her life and career with purpose and authenticity. Together, she and Deidre unpack what it means to be resilient without having to always be strong, how to release old identities, and how to trust yourself enough to leap before you feel ready.
