Hello beautiful people its Janet Michelle author of Finding My Happy Chucking the Duces to Toxic Thinking and founder of digital platform JanetMichelle.com.  Welcome to the FMH Podcast I'm so elated to be  at a place where I can get back to doing people work!   

The FMH  podcast is based off of the topics covered in my book, Finding My Happy: Chucking the Deuces to Toxic Thinking which is available for purchase at Findingmyhappy.net and on Amazon.com.  

In it I share some pivotal moments in my life where I was able to identify the root of my toxic thinking.   The podcast will take a deeper dive into those moments. I have also created a set of eleven workbooks which also explore the topics of abandonment, forgiveness, control, self esteem, leadership, beauty standards, and inadequacy, parenting, and much more. My hope is that by sharing you are encouraged to chuck the deuces to toxic thinking, find and maintain your happiness.   

Take Care.

Episode 12 Nona Barnes, CEO 9Nine86 Jewelry and Gifts

This podcast explores my healing journey after leaving a relationship full of violence.

The phrase “the will to live” has really been on my mind a lot lately. For me it signifies that while everything in my life suggested that I should give up, I did not.  Surviving traumatic life experiences is one thing, but to find healing from those experiences  is an entire different journey, a journey that I still find my self on.  I want to take the moment during Domestic Violence Awareness month to share some nuggets that have helped me on my journey of healing.
