Welcome to another episode of Community on Purpose, the podcast where we sit down with women who are intentionally creating community through business, giving or living. Today I had the opportunity to sit down with Michelle Jones, dynamic trauma educator, speaker and coach, with Integrate Trauma and Director of the Mind Well Collective. With a background in pediatric nursing, community advocacy and leadership, Michelle brings curiosity and a mindful approach to trauma healing and wellness. She is passionate about helping people reconnect to themselves, tune in to their bodies and intuition and create a life that resonates for them. Listen in as Michelle shares how her experience shows up in the work that she does and the collective that she created for wellness professionals to provide community education events locally and connect people to resources for wellness and well-being. Michelle believes that we deeply need each other and while many people feel like they need to carry their burdens alone, she has come to recognize that it is not a failing but a triumph when we increase support and reach out to others. Michelle shares her feelings on shame and hope and how trusting your intuition and and asking for help can impact our own capacity for opening up and supporting others. Coming from a place of collaboration rather than competition, Michelle discusses her peaks and pits of leading, learning and loving. Join us in a conversation together.
