In this first episode of Season 2, Michelle shares thoughts on a topic that lies at the core of our existence — self-love. She delves into the notion of how this essential love can often be unknowingly relinquished.

How can we reclaim this right?  Michelle talks: The moment she recognized that she had relinquished her right to self-love Reconnecting to the light of love within Putting down the heavy weight of past hurts that disconnect us from self-love and self-worth The transformative question that can liberate you in 2024 The place where the electricity of you becomes unstoppable Come ignite your blaze of empowerment with Michelle!  www.themichellemadrid.com
