(brainmd.com) Article - Comment booster la sérotonine et améliorer son humeur ? Mon mot pour 2024… STABILITÉ En cette fin d'année 2023 je voulais revenir sur le mot qui a accompagné mon année : BRILLER. Je vous encourage à le faire si vous avez envie. Au lieu de vous fixer des objectifs, choisissez un mot qui définit votre année. Ça peut être : puissance, paix, lâcher prise, lumière, limites, repos, ou encore liberté, sororité, care ou fun! J'avais donc choisi le mot briller et, sans le savoir à ce moment-là, briller allait être le révélateur de mon année. Pour briller, il faut d'abord accepter la part d'ombre présente en nous et ensuite vouloir aller rallumer la lumière à l'intérieur de soi. Je n'avais pas anticipé que ma situation personnelle à ce moment-là, précis, allait se dégrader et que j'allais être diagnostiquée en dépression sévère 2 semaines plus tard. Je n'en n'ai jamais parlé ouvertement, j'avais envie d'avoir un peu de recul sur cette période. Ça va bientôt faire un an et je me sens capable de le faire aujourd'hui. Si vous avez déjà été diagnostiquée en dépression vous connaissez cette sensation de vide, de noirceur, d'incapacité à vouloir évoluer. Cette tristesse profonde qui peut vous envahir. Là du noir, de l'ombre, du dark, il y en a! Donc pour réussir à briller, je partais de très loin. J'ai commencé un traitement d'antidépresseurs, fin janvier. Les premiers temps, je vomissais tous les matins, la molécule ne me convenait pas. Ma médecin m'en a prescrit un autre avec une dose plus légère, et là, c'était le bon fit! J'ai passé 3 mois complets sous antidépresseurs et 1 mois où j'ai arrêté progressivement. Ça fait donc 8 mois que je ne prends plus rien du tout. Ni xanax ni anti-dépresseurs. Je sais que ce n'est pas recommandé de le faire si rapidement, mais j'étais accompagnée par ma psy et ma médecin. Je me sentais extrêmement bien et je savais que je serai capable d'être heureuse et sereine même sans médicaments. Pourquoi je vous raconte un peu de ma dépression ? Parce que c'est, en partie, grâce à mes lectures que j'ai sorti la tête de l'eau. Et attention je ne parle que de moi, pour certaines personnes il faut des années de traitements médicamenteux et des suivis psy, surtout si vous êtes en postpartum, faites vous suivre, c'est important. Pour moi je savais que c'était un coup de pouce dont j'avais besoin sur le moment, mais j'avais la profonde conviction que j'allais aller bien, SI je faisais attention à certains aspects de ma vie. Nous n'avons pas tous et toutes la même capacité de résilience face à l'adversité et ni de sensibilité face ce qui nous plonge dans le noir. Alors si vous êtes dans le dur, dans une période extrêmement sombre, soyez indulgent et indulgente envers vous-même. Vous faites comme vous pouvez, au rythme qui vous convient, il n'y a pas de course quand il s'agit de santé mentale. Je vous parle donc des 8 livres exactement qui m'ont vraiment amené à avoir une grande réflexion sur moi pour avancer et rejoindre la lumière. Ces livres et épisodes m'ont redonné du pouvoir. Oui, nous avons du pouvoir sur notre santé physique et psychique. ( Pour lire la suite, rdv sur le site : www.lamatrescence.fr Le premier livre qui m'a aidé s'intitule You Happier, 7 neuroscience secrets based on your brain type. L'auteur est Dr Amen, psychiatre depuis 30 ans et neuroscientifique, il a scanné plus de 250 000 cerveaux. Je l'ai découvert via le podcast de Jay Shetty, On Purpose. Dans son livre qui est traduit en français, Dr Amen vous explique le pouvoir de votre pensée, de la gratitude, de la façon dont on se parle, le pouvoir du sport, de la nutrition et du sommeil. Il détaille les 16 différents types de cerveaux qu'il a identifiés et les réactions que l'on peut avoir en fonction de la structure de notre cerveau. Je suis type 3, vous pouvez faire le test, le lien est à la fin des notes. Le type 3 c'est : “Brain Type 3 Individuals with Brain Type 3 are often tenacious, persistent, and sometimes stubborn. They tend to struggle with worry, have trouble sleeping, and like things to be done a certain way. Those with Brain Type 3 often have increased activity in the front part of the brain called the anterior cingulate gyrus (ACG). The ACG influences your ability to “go with the flow.” When the ACG is overactive, probably due to low activity of serotonin, people can have problems shifting attention. People with Brain Type 3 don't need more stimulation. In fact, caffeine and diet pills tend to make them worse.” D'après le magazine Santé : La sérotonine fait partie des 4 hormones dites du bonheur avec l'ocytocine, la dopamine et les endorphine. La sérotonine est un produit chimique qui peut affecter l'humeur. Présente dans le cerveau, le sang, le tube digestif et les tissus conjonctifs du corps humain (...), elle provoque la contraction des vaisseaux sanguins, aide à transmettre l'information dans tout le système nerveux central et joue un rôle dans le fonctionnement cérébral. Ce messager chimique est aussi responsable de la stimulation des zones du cerveau contrôlant le sommeil et l'éveil chez l'être humain. La sérotonine est liée au stress et clairement, être mère de 3 enfants en bas-âge, ça me procure du stress, sachant que j'ai une tendance à être anxieuse. Donc ça a du sens pour moi de faire attention à cet aspect là. La bonne nouvelle c'est que je n'ai jamais bu de café ou pris de stimulants… Dans ce livre il y a 3 choses que j'ai retenues pour mon quotidien. La première : finir ma journée par me dire ce qu'il s'est bien passé aujourd'hui. Il explique que plus le cerveau fait la connexion avec des pensées positives, plus on aura tendance à confirmer nos biais et mettre des lunettes de la gratitude au lieu de voir la vie à travers des lunettes de la défiance. Le 2e point parle de nos pensées, encore. Il écrit de manière assez drôle “ne crois pas tout ce que ton cerveau te raconte”. Nous pouvons prendre du recul sur ce que l'on se raconte au quotidien, quand tout semble dérailler. Parfois ce sont nos peurs qui parlent, nos blocages, nos mécanismes de défense et pas la réalité. Par exemple, quand on a la sensation d'être nulle et de décevoir tout le monde, on peut réussir à changer d'optique en se disant “ Cette journée, ne me définie pas, je ne suis pas nulle, c'est faux, je traverse une difficulté, je vais y arriver.” Et enfin, c'est la première fois que je lisais des études dédiées aux effets de l'alcool sur les capacités cognitives et le cerveau. Je n'ai jamais beaucoup bu, j'ai toujours été la Sam des soirées. C'est dû à mon histoire perso, mais j'ai dû être vraiment bourrée moins d'une dizaine de fois dans ma vie. Là, en ayant enchaîné 3 ans de grossesses et allaitement, clairement l'alcool ne faisait plus partie de ma vie et lire son livre m'en a convaincu. Je ne bois plus du tout. L'alcool perturbe le sommeil, nos connexions neuronales, mais aussi notre système digestif et nerveux. Je vous assure qu'on peut quand même faire la fête et s'amuser en trinquant à l'eau ou au Champomy ;-) Le 2e livre : Les joies insoupçonnées du célibat (il n'existe qu'en anglais). Bon clairement, ce livre j'en ai eu besoin quand je vivais une séparation très douloureuse. J'avais besoin de lire qu'être célibataire ne voulait pas dire être seule. Ce livre écrit par la journaliste anglaise Catherine Gray, est un booster d'énergie et vient questionner nos besoins d'être en couple pour se dire heureuses/heureux. Elle a un angle très féministe et dégomme le patriarcat qui nous a vendu le model de l'amour hétéro comme la fin en soi. J'ai vraiment aimé ce livre plus léger mais qui aborde des sujets fondamentaux pour retrouver l'amour que l'on a pour soi avant tout. Le reste vient après. Si vous vivez une séparation douloureuse, je vous le recommande. Et si vous avez été en couple toute votre vie, je vous le recommande encore plus. C'est intéressant de se poser des question sur nos schémas familiaux et sociétaux sur ce thème. Le 3e livre s'appelle : Se construire avec des parents émotionnellement immatures Dr Lindsay Gibson, psychologue clinicienne. Ouh celui là est un bijou pour plusieurs raisons. J'ai découvert la Dr Gibson dans le podcast 10% happier. La conversation m'avait bluffée… Comme souvent j'écoute un auteur ou une autrice dans un podcast et ensuite j'achète le livre. Le livre est très complet et nous fait nous interroger sur l'enfance que l'on a eu. A quel type de parent on a eu affaire? Comment était l'ambiance à la maison ? Comment réagissait nos parents en fonction de leur immaturité? Elle y décrit 4 types de parents immatures dans ce livre avec des caractéristiques bien précises. Le parent émotif, le parent débordant, le parent rejetant et le parent passif. Pour être honnête, ce livre nous fait aussi réaliser qu'on est toutes et tous un peu immatures émotionnellement, à certains moments de nos vies. Mais en avoir conscience aide à mieux se comprendre. Bref un must have, vraiment si vous êtes en conflit avec vos parents ou votre éducation ou si vous avec un ou une personne de votre entourage proche émotionnellement immature! Le 4e livre, vous m'avez entendu en parler depuis 6 mois, c'est le premier livre du Dr Nicole Lepera, psychologue holistique, elle en a écrit 2 de plus depuis : How to do the work (bonne nouvelle il est traduit en Francais : Guéris tes blessures). Ça a été une révélation. Parfois les livres arrivent dans vos mains au moment où vous en avez le plus besoin. Il a eu une résonance particulière pour moi et m'a permis de changer ma façon d'interagir avec le monde. Mais aussi, parce qu'avant ça j'avais largement commencé à me documenter sur tout un tas de sujets et notamment les liens d'attachements. How to do the work (lien en EN) vous permet de reprendre du contrôle sur votre vie intérieure et votre état émotionnel. Son approche holistique, c'est-à-dire qui englobe plusieurs aspects de notre santé est primordiale. Son livre m'a donné les clés dont j'avais besoin pour revenir à moi. Je l'ai lu deux semaines après avoir été diagnostiquée en dépression. Il a été vital. Pour plus de détails, vous pouvez écouter les épisodes 120/124/130 C'est grâce à ce livre que j'arrive à calmer rapidement mon anxiété, que je termine mes douches par de l'eau froide, systématiquement pendant 1 min ou plus. (ma fille de 6 ans le fait avec moi) que j'arrive à prendre de la distance sur les réactions des autres et que j'ai ENFIN compris que je suis la seule responsable de mon bonheur, que je peux faire une seule et unique chose, c'est contrôler ce que moi je ressens. Ce livre a eu le pouvoir de changer ma vie pour le meilleur. Le 5e livre s'intitule Moms Moving On, il n'est pas traduit en français. Si vous maîtrisez bien l'anglais, il est facile à lire. Pourquoi il est important pour moi ce livre, pour 2 raisons, la première c'est que son autrice Michelle Dempsey ne néglige aucun aspect de la séparation du couple, avec des enfants. C'est comme une amie qui te prend la main, et qui te dit, tu vas te relever, ça va être dur mais je suis là pour te guider. Si vous êtes en plein dans le tumulte de vous séparer de votre co-parent, ce livre intelligent vous donne la marche à suivre pour que cette transition soit la plus douce et constructive possible pour vous et vos enfants. Dans la plupart des cas, ce sont les femmes qui prennent la décision de partir, c'est ce qu'elle a fait quand sa fille avait 2 ans et elle raconte son parcours. La deuxième raison c'est parce qu'elle dit une phrase ultra importante à mes yeux : Aime tes enfants plus que tu ne détestes ton ex. Je la répète, aime tes enfants plus que tu ne détestes ton ex. Bien sûr on peut appliquer ce mantra dans une relation où le co-parent est sain et qu'il y a simplement des tensions d'adultes normales. Cette phrase m'a transformée et m'a aidée à faire baisser la colère que je ressentais depuis des mois. Il y a beaucoup d'espoirs dans cet ouvrage. La vie qui vous attend va être belle. Son autre mantra important : Il suffit d'un parent raisonnable dans une situation déraisonnable. A vous de vous faire votre idée. Le 6e s'appelle The Good Life. Je l'ai lu cet été, c'est un pavé assez impressionnant. Il est en français et raconte les résultats de l'étude scientifique la plus longue jamais réalisée dans le monde, menée par l'université d'Harvard, sur le bonheur de manière générale. Pendant 80 ans, des chercheurs ont suivi 724 individus et leurs 1 300 descendants aux Etats-Unis pour en tirer des conclusions sur ce qui fait le bonheur de la vie. Le livre est passionnant et le résultat sans appel : notre entourage est l'élément, le facteur, le plus important de notre vie pour déterminer notre échelle de bonheur. Dans le livre on retrouve les histoires de certains participants mais aussi l'analyse des résultats par 2 chercheurs actuels qui ont continué cette étude. Argent, santé, relations amicales et amoureuses, trajectoire de vies, études, tout est passé au crible pour disséquer notre capacité à vivre heureux. Le 7e livre est celui de Mindy Pelz : Fast Like a Girl. J'ai adoré ce livre mais j'ai un bémol, parce qu'elle n'est pas médecin et il est difficile de savoir si tout ce qui est écrit, a été vérifié. Elle cite beaucoup d'études et je trouve que les explications sont très claires. J'ai commencé le jeûne intermittent et j'ai adoré. J'ai adoré comment mon corps répond à cela en fonction de mon cycle hormonal. Mais voilà je ne ne veux pas vous envoyer vers un livre dont l'autrice n'est pas claire à 100% sur son background qui n'est pas médecine. Le dernier dont je voulais vous parler est le livre de Dr Libby Weaver, qui est spécialiste de micronutrition. Dans son livre le syndrome de la femme pressée, elle explique comment notre mode de vie toujours plus stressant et rapide vient perturber notre équilibre hormonal en tant que femme. Nous sommes dans une ère où le droit au repos n'est pas valorisé ou le manque de productivité est assimilé à de l'échec, où la todo list qui n'en finit plus peut nous mettre dans des états de stress important. En tant que parents, nous sommes encore plus affectés par cette charge mentale. Et c'est notre santé qui trinque. Dr Libby Weaver nous parle de café, d'alcool, de sédentarité, de repas avalés à la va-vite et non dégustés, de nos hormones, et de la gestion de l'anxiété. Elle propose un questionnaire au début de son livre pour voir si vous rentrez dans la catégorie de la femme pressée. Au début j'avais la sensation que non, et puis au fur et à mesure des questions je me suis rendue compte que je laissais parfois mon quotidien dicter ma relation au stress au lieu de le gérer. A toutes les femmes pressées de ce monde, je vous souhaite de ralentir et d'arriver à être ancrée dans le moment présent. Voilà pour mes 8 lectures capitales de cette année.

Ashley welcomes Michelle Dempsey-Multack onto this week's Bizzimumzi podcast.  Michelle is a writer, mom, coach, speaker, and genuine girl power enthusiast. Michelle attended American University as a Journalism major, graduated Hofstra University's Communications program with a Bachelor's Degree in Communications, and then earned a Double Masters Degree in Education from Adelphi University. Originally from New York, Michelle grew up fascinated by the hustle and bustle of New York City. She was aching to “make it” as something, anything, ever since 9th grade. “I remember walking into my first day of high school, and one of my teachers announcing “Whoa, this one is powerful – we're going to have to watch out for her,” Michelle recalls. That sentence has always stuck with her and has motivated her to always keep moving, harder and faster, toward her dreams. Michelle moved to Miami in her late 20's where the “second part of her life” began. She married her daughter's father and they brought beautiful Bella into the world. Years later, Michelle remarried her now-husband Spencer, and they live in North Miami Beach where they are raising their beautiful blended family, sneaking in as many ski trips as possible, going to every concert they can, and truly enjoying this new phase of their lives.  On this weeks Bizzimumzi episode, Ashley & Michelle chat about: Growing up in NYC Michelle's unstable up-bringing due to her parents divorcing The strength she built within herself to heal Why becoming a Mom at first was scary Her personal divorce and how she and her ex put the effort in to co-parent for their daughter Why she coaches others to make smart and healthy choice when navigating divorce with kids Advice for struggling parents with co-parenting Passing the torch to the expecting Bizzimumzi The Bizzimumzi Podcast is brought to you by coffee-infused host Ashley Verma.

Genuine girl power enthusiast, speaker, and author Michelle Dempsey knows how difficult divorce is for mothers with young kids. Her struggle in finding resources motivated her to write and launch a podcast, aiming to guide other women in defeating the challenges of divorce and moving forward into becoming their best selves. What's her main piece of advice? Seek support, and focus on yourself. Tune in to this episode on Moms Moving On: Conquering Divorce and Conflicted Coparenting with Michelle Dempsey. Key points covered in this episode:   ✔️Keep your ego in check. You may not have full control over other people's opinions. But you have the power over your response. Michelle Dempsey touches on women's paralyzing worry over their ex-spouses, badmouthing them to their children. ✔️ Co-parenting expert Bill Eddy says, “One reasonable parent is enough for the kids to be okay, even in unreasonable situations.” Cut out all the fighting and talking badly about your ex, then your kids would come out more resilient than ever.  ✔️Everybody's journey post-divorce looks different. And that's okay. Don't rush the process. Hastily securing your financials, parenting plan, or even living conditions can have long-term consequences. You want to be set up for success after this life-changing experience. ✔️The person who should change after marriage is you. No, it isn't your fault, nor did you do anything wrong. But because you have to pick yourself up and learn how to co-parent with someone you once loved.   ✔️Personal validation is your responsibility. You're in this situation to be a parent, not as a former lover. If you've been so used to receiving approval from this person, it's time to set boundaries. ✔️Take it slow in finding a healthy relationship post-divorce. It can be exhausting for the children to be introduced to someone new every two weeks. Enjoy your singlehood as you search for the right person that brings comfort and safety into your home and your heart. Michelle Dempsey is a writer, mom, coach, Certified Divorce Specialist, speaker, and genuine girl power enthusiast. She fully believes in the power of having someone by your side to help you through the uncomfortable process of divorce as a way to empower and educate, making clients stronger. Her work has been featured in publications including Forbes, Scary Mommy, Parents, Daily Business Review, HuffPost, Elite Daily, and more. She works with women at all stages of divorce; from just deciding to end their marriage to looking for their stride in co-parenting and everything in between. _______________________________________ Connect with Wendy Sterling: Website: https://wendysterling.net/ Instagram: @divorcerehabwithwendy Twitter: @thedivorcerehab Facebook: @wendytsterling  Need an opportunity to share your pain points and receive judgment-free support?

This week Michelle Dempsey-Multack returns to the show! She joins me to talk about how to survive the holidays pre- or post-divorce.  If you've gone through a divorce within the last 12 months or are about to start the divorce process, you are emotionally and financially spent. So, how can you get through the holiday season and feel content with the here and now?   If this is your first Christmas alone or last holiday as a single-family unit, this episode will offer advice about how to create new holiday traditions, how to set boundaries, and how to take care of yourself during this highly emotional and uncertain time in your life.  Michelle is a writer, coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and host of the Moms Moving On Podcast. As a divorced, co-parenting, and remarried mother, nothing makes Michelle happier than being able to guide other women as they move on through the divorce process, and helping them turn their divorce lemons into lemonade - just like she did. A native New Yorker, Michelle now resides in Miami with her husband, Spencer, and each of their daughters, Bella and Jolie.  There is no right or wrong answer for getting through the holidays during or after divorce. Do what feels right.  Lean into whatever it is you are feeling; whether it is good or bad. And remember, it's just a season and will be over before you know it. Show Highlights A simple reminder that Christmas and New Year's Day are just days on a calendar. (6:41) Identifying your definition of happiness. (8:33) How you can take the parts of a holiday that feel special to you and make new traditions. (11:58) The importance of creating space to make new traditions and to heal. (14:18) Once children have had to separate their parents in their minds, it can sometimes be really confusing to see them together. (16:45) It's not always best for kids for parents to do holidays together right after divorce. Michelle shares some of the things that are best, like not being made to bear the weight of your sadness. (17:55) Your job at this juncture is to take care of yourself and your children. Period. (20:19) Waking up alone on Christmas morning can be painful and hard. Michelle offers some suggestions for getting through those moments. (24:33) How to set boundaries about conversations about your divorce during holiday get-to-gethers. (33:45) Disparity in incomes: it's perfectly acceptable to teach children the value of money and what gifts you are able to afford.

Danielle talks about her own near-divorce and why she felt like leaving wasn't an option.

It is time to loose the shame you may have and realize that a divorce can be your new beginning. Divorce is not something that we need to feel bad about or believe that we have failed. A divorce may just be the path you needed to travel, in order to get to the life you want. We discuss how to be open and honest with your children, and why being honest is not teaching them that you don't believe in the value of marriage. We, of course, talk about dating again, and how and why you need to be real about why you are dating, and what you want from your dating experience. We also discuss why you don't have to box with your ex, just because he invites you in to the ring. That was a lightbulb moment for me!

Welcome to We Chat Divorce. We're so happy you're here today to talk with us about overcoming the divorce is death mindset. Michelle Dempsey: I love to be here to talk about just that. That's one of my favorite things to talk about. Catherine Shanahan: Why is that one of your favorite things to talk about? Michelle Dempsey: I think from early on in my split, I think, the way I was approached by people in regards to my divorce was so mournful and like I should have been dressed in black and crying in a corner and it always amazed me how non divorce people would say, "Oh, I'm so sorry for your divorce. So terrible. Oh, you couldn't wait until Bella was older. Oh, you didn't want to work it out." Things like that. And the whole, of course, "Oh God, I'm so sorry, because divorce is such a death." And then all the divorced people I knew were like, "Congratulations." And so I think for people who had never experienced it before, granted, I hadn't personally, but my mom had, and I watched her go through it as a child. Michelle Dempsey: I think the notion of divorce to some people is so terrible and so awful. And they compare it to a death because yes, it's essentially the ending of a relationship, but you're still very much alive. And so is your ex and you still have to co-parent with this person. So what death? The relationship is still there. It's just there in a different way. And I feel like putting divorce into that negative box eliminates the opportunity for you to see it as a rebirth or an opportunity to start fresh or write a new chapter or reestablish what your relationship might look like with your ex now, as you move forward as co-parents. So I am not into the whole divorce is death mentality. Catherine Shanahan: I totally believe that I feel the same exact way. I know others do not. However I remember people saying to me, "Oh, I'm so sorry.: And I thought, "Really, because if you knew what it was living like, you wouldn't be so sorry." Michelle Dempsey: Exactly. Catherine Shanahan: And then those same people, some of them today are divorced. So were they sorry that I was going through it and they weren't able to go through it at the time? So it really always made me feel uncomfortable. Michelle Dempsey: Right. And here's what I've noticed, Catherine, the people who were most critical, were not trying to be critical, but had the most to say about my divorce had the most questions or, and "You didn't want to work it out?" And "You didn't want to stay longer for the kids?" What I've come to realize is that those were projections from their own emotions. And what came to be their splits like you said. They were questioning me because they wanted to hear from me like, "No, don't get divorced. Yes. I could have stuck it out. Yes, we could've stayed together for the kid," but that wasn't the case. And it's just ironic to see the people who had the most opinions are now ... Or the ones who disappeared. I call them the flockers and the fleers, like you have the flockers and the fleers, and I just wrote about this in my book. Michelle Dempsey: You have two sets of people in your divorce, the people who jump on you for all the details and make comments and criticism and want to know everything and the people who flee. And very often, you're going to find both of those, people in both of those categories that ends up in the same situation as you. Catherine Shanahan: Oh, I totally agree with that as well. You said something, I have plenty of blockers and fleers. That's great. I love those terms. But the other question was always from my married friends who I thought were friends said, "Aren't you afraid you're go to be alone." You're going to be alone forever." Michelle Dempsey: That's projection [crosstalk 00:03:58] because they might. They might not be okay with the concept of being alone, but alone and lonely are two very different things in my opinion and I talk about that all the time. Alone can be a beautiful thing. Alone can be an afternoon to yourself where everybody's leaving you alone and you can just watch your TV, read your book, eat your snacks. Michelle Dempsey: Lonely though, is when you don't find the beauty in being alone. And that's fearful for some women because society tells you, you have to have a partner, you have to have a teammate. You have to have somebody to carry you to the finish line. But honestly you really don't. And it was once I dropped that mindset of, "Oh God, I need somebody," that I did find the perfect partner, which was ironic. So getting comfortable with that aloneness is a foreign concept for a lot of people because society will tell you it's bad. But in hindsight it was the best thing for me to be alone. Karen Chellew: And some of those fleers, I know from my experience, for some reason, they thought I was, or divorce was contagious. Michelle Dempsey: Yeah. Karen Chellew: My friends who were married, "Oh, I don't know. He doesn't want you to come over or we have to meet not at my house anymore," because I truly think that their spouse especially, thought it was something contagious. But even more than that, when people have that divorce is death mindset, think of how that transfers to the children. If you have that, or you allow that energy into your home or into your relationships, they're carrying that then that, "Oh, my mom or my dad did a terrible thing or did something that's not good for the family." And then what do they do with that emotion? Michelle Dempsey: It creates such inner turmoil for children. And I've seen it with some of my clients and even people I know personally who can't get out of that victim mindset, "Well, Daddy left me and it's so hard." Kids shouldn't be shielded from everything, but to make them all of a sudden, have to feel okay, "Well, I love my Daddy, but I know he hurt my Mommy. So should I love my Daddy? Is he a bad guy? He's half of me. I don't want to be a bad person." Right away that creates an anxiety and a inner battle in a child that they shouldn't have to be fighting. So I'm a big fan of cry if you need to cry, mourn if you need to mourn, whatever you need to do to get the feelings out so that you can move on, do it, but don't make your children a part of that. Children benefit from seeing you alone if alone is where you can be resilient. And I think a lot of people are worried that the lack of a spouse is really going to impact the child so negatively when research shows that all children need to thrive is one stable parent or caregiver. Karen Chellew: Absolutely. Catherine Shanahan: That's correct. Yeah. Karen Chellew: The consistency, and even moving forward through life, we all have to make critical decisions about a whole host of relationships. And so will our children. And when they see examples of us making good decisions for the betterment of the entirety of the family, and it enables them to make good decisions for themselves as well. Michelle Dempsey: Right. Catherine Shanahan: Yeah. It always baffles me when we have a client come in and say, "Well, my children told me that I shouldn't take this these dollars. I shouldn't ask for this money from their dad." Or their dad tells me that mommy's taking all of my money, that now we're broke. I'm broke. I can't do this. So even involving your children in any kind of financial discussions is inappropriate. I mean, our kids, their burden is not our problems, right? They're not- Michelle Dempsey: I remember being a kid and the money, literally, whenever my dad did give it, which was few and far between would go through me. I'd get out of the car, he'd drop me off. He'd hand me a check to give to my mom. And then sometimes I'd come in without the check. And my mom would be like, "Did he give you the check?" And so I always knew that like he owed her money. It was a very awkward position to be in. And of course, I don't think they put me in it to be hurtful, but they just didn't know better. And it just sticks with you. Catherine Shanahan: My mom was telling a story just recently, how she had to get on the subway at two or three times a week to go to her dad, to ask for the money for my grandmother. And I'm like, "That is just so awful to do that," but that's what we do. And the lesson of being lonely and alone, it's such a good lesson to teach our children too at such young ages, because I could remember saying, "I am in such a lonely marriage. I'd rather be single and lonely than married and lonely." But then when I became single and I would just sit in, because I did have a lot of friends who stayed with me that would check on me and invite me out with their spouses and so forth, and I said, "I am so good being home. I want to watch a movie all by myself. My son's out, my daughter's at school." Catherine Shanahan: I enjoyed that time with being alone. And it didn't mean I was lonely. And I kept saying just because I'm alone, doesn't mean I'm lonely. And it's good for our kids to learn that now, too, just dealing with the pandemic alone. You realize how much alone time we all have. You said it earlier, which I love is just enjoying that, loving that time you have for yourself. Michelle Dempsey: Yeah. I read something recently and I've done a lot of work in around trauma and resilience because I did a lot of work to heal from my own traumas. And I have found the most resilient people are the people who have been able to take the lessons from their past and move forward. But something I came across was how keeping yourself busy all the time and the inability to sit alone with yourself is a trauma-based response. And it's really just avoiding what's going on inside of you. You are so uncomfortable with so much, and maybe you're harboring so much in your subconscious that doesn't even come to light every day. That's where alone feels so uncomfortable. And I used to be that person. My mom always would say, "My God, you can't just sit still. You can't just have a night alone." Back before I even married my first husband, I was always on the go, always had a plan. If I didn't have a plan, I had to make one. It was because I was too uncomfortable with all of my undealt with stuff, that I distracted from it by staying busy. And that's not the way to go about things. Sure, once in a while, you want to get out and take your mind off things, of course, but making that a constant instead of making the time for yourself a constant, it's completely unhealthy. Catherine Shanahan: So what are three steps somebody could take to shift their mindset from feeling like their divorce is death, to making it more as a new beginning. Michelle Dempsey: I think the first step always is to grieve your pain, right? So I'm never going to say, "Oh, your marriage is over. Get over it. Be happy." No. You have to acknowledge that that sucks. Divorce sucks. Nobody wants to go through it. It's hurtful. It's painful. It's the dismantling of a whole life connections, friendships plans. It's a lot to process. So it's hard. And you have to give yourself time to process it because you're not going to be able to see the other side as an opportunity until you can release all the feelings, feel the feels as I like to say. So I truly think that's step one. And I see so many women that I work with because I help them through the transition want to go from zero to 60 like, "okay, it's over, I'm fine. I'm going out with friends. I'm good." Michelle Dempsey: And I'm like, "Call me in two weeks when you can't get out of bed in the morning," because the more you try to ignore it and the more you try to be okay, the harder it's going to be and the harder it'll come back to bite you. So grieve. Be alone. Feel shitty. Cry watching ... I used to lay in bed after my split and watch The Affair. That was the show that like I'd binge watched first. And it was just such a poignant time in my life because it was like, I was feeling things through this show. It was so well-written, I loved it, but also tapping into my own unhappiness and just, I don't know, I was icky for a while, but that icky place they say you have to get comfortable being uncomfortable, that's really where I think you need to be in the beginning stage of a marriage, let it happen. Let yourself feel shitty. Don't try to avoid it. And then you move forward. Michelle Dempsey: And the second thing I think would be to really harness the idea, get it in your head and repeat it to yourself daily, that now you have a new opportunity, whether you wanted to be in this situation or not see this new stage in your life, new marital status as an opportunity. Marriage is unfortunately for so many women, their whole lives when in reality, it's just a small part of our lives. And if you come out of a marriage after 20 years and you're like, "I don't even know who I am anymore" it's because you've made that marriage your whole life. Now you can make your life your own. And maybe marriage fits into it later on down the road, you find somebody who fits your life. But this is the opportunity that you have to give yourself that not everybody gets. And so I think that's a really special thing. Catherine Shanahan: [crosstalk 00:13:40] Every day in Hilton Head and I would ride my bike there every single day, since my daughter went to school, when I was here and I would just look into the ocean. And when I, even now to this day, when I look into the ocean, I think endless possibilities because as I was crying, not knowing what I would do next, I just thought there are so many endless opportunities out there for me and I'm going to seize them. And that's what got me through it. Just knowing that and then hence here, here we have My Divorce Solution, so who knew at 44, I become an entrepreneur. And it's funny now because this was my first Thanksgiving where I ordered a pre-made turkey. I was that mom that cooked all the meals and did all the stuff. This year my daughter was like, "Mom, why would you ever cook a turkey? This was fabulous." Michelle Dempsey: That's so funny. Catherine Shanahan: [crosstalk 00:14:28] the day and eat in the afternoon. Michelle Dempsey: Right. There's certain pressures that we put on ourselves I think in marriage that are now lifted. I remember always wanting to look perfect when my husband got home from work. And even if it got ignored, I just put that kind of pressure on myself or whatever it was. And I really took comfort in just being. Like bra off, hair up, nobody at home to criticize or why are there dishes in the sink, putting on whatever music I wanted to put on. That was really powerful for me. The sense of this is my life now, and I'm going to do it my way. Michelle Dempsey: And then the third thing I always say to shift the mindset, you really have to acknowledge the feelings again, but do it through a form of ... For me, it's always been journaling. None of my clients get away without having to journal. Right now, we're doing actually a 30 day journaling challenge because answering certain questions, putting it out on paper really helps you to physically, like it's science, physically take something and release it. When you write something down, it's when you make a to-do list. Now you're not forgetting because you have a to do list. So if you take your journal and you write about the things you hope to bring into your life in the next couple of years, or write about the changes you need to make personally or how you can be healthier, what you can do to feel happier. Putting that out there sort of holds you accountable and helps shift you into a mindset of looking ahead, instead of just like, "Eh, what now?" So [crosstalk 00:16:07] those are my three things. Catherine Shanahan: I'm a huge journaler. I do tons of journals and it's something about it happens if you write it down. It's a path to get there. Michelle Dempsey: Yes. I'm not a woo woo spiritual person, but I do totally believe the universe helping you manifest what you deserve and if you put it out there ... I always knew it, even in my first marriage as it was imploding, that my perfect man was out there. I didn't care when it was going to happen. I was very happy to be alone after my split, but I kind of always knew I'd be getting married again. And I really, in my head knew what he would look like. I just knew all of these things and it came to fruition because I would write about it. Catherine Shanahan: Yeah. Same here. Michelle Dempsey: I did something. I did something completely out of character a couple of months before my marriage ended. And I was just writing about it for the book and I was like laughing at myself. So I had a girl that worked for me and she's like, "You need to go see an energy healer." And I was like, "Huh? Come on. I'll go to the spa. I'll get a massage. I'll get a manicure, pedicure. I don't know about an energy healer." And she's like, "I'm telling you, you need to go see this woman." So when you're down and out, you'll do anything to try and feel good. And that's how I felt at the end, towards the end of my marriage. So I remember getting in the car, I drove like an hour and a half to this stranger's house in the middle of, I don't know, it was another county far from Miami. Michelle Dempsey: And I knock on her door. And the whole time I'm thinking like, "What the fuck am I doing?" "What am I doing? What am I doing?" And she opens the door and she was everything you'd imagine her to be, she was wearing scarves and a long duster. And she had a thing in her hair, just this character of her personality. She was beautiful and warm. And she smelled like patchouli and so did her house, had like different colors on every wall. And she brought me into her little studio and she laid me down, did all this Reiki and sound healing and all sorts of things. But at the end of it, she said, "I'm going to leave the room. I'm going to give you a piece of paper and a marker. I want you to write a note to yourself for what, where you see yourself five years from now." Michelle Dempsey: And so I wrote this note and she said, "I want you to stick it on your bathroom mirror." And I did. And I kept it there until I moved in with my now husband. And it was literally, it was like, "You will be a published author. You will have the man of your dreams. You will have clients who rely on you for their help, for help." And I remember putting it on my bathroom mirror, like, "Oh my God, I hope my friends don't see this." And it was amazing to me how all of those things that I told myself I deserved came to fruition. Catherine Shanahan: Yeah. I believe that. Karen Chellew: Fabulous story. I love that, Michelle. Michelle Dempsey: Thank you. Karen Chellew: I've worked with a lot of the clients and their budgeting post divorce and moving on. And I say that budgeting is a form of journaling. It's recording what the it is and- Michelle Dempsey: That's a really good point. Karen Chellew: ... how you're going to be CEO as you're moving ahead and you get to choose how you spend or save or otherwise every single penny. So I've just made that connection in our discussion here. But I truly believe that budgeting is a form of journaling. I think that's [crosstalk 00:19:25] Michelle Dempsey: It totally is. It's setting an intention. And then you tend to hold yourself to it. That's why I'm doing this challenge with my Mom's Moving On community members, because when you set the intention to do something and each journal prompt every day is intentional, it totally helps you shift. It helps you think way outside where your brain tends to get stuck. So I love that. Karen Chellew: Right. And there's no reason to get stuck. Catherine Shanahan: It's like an accountability for yourself. Michelle Dempsey: Listen, I really have reached a point in my life where I have no patience for people who don't take accountability for their actions like ex-husbands and say you're wrong when you're wrong. Say you dropped the ball when you drop the ball. Hold yourself accountable. It's so important to be a better person that way. So good for your kids to see that. [crosstalk 00:20:19] Can I tell you another story about the energy healer real quick? Catherine Shanahan: Yeah. Karen Chellew: Sure. Michelle Dempsey: Now that I'm thinking about it. So I saw her, we wrote the bathroom mirror note. I was in shock for days after we met over the fact that I even went and did this, I spent like $300. I didn't know what kind of a waste of money it was. And then fast forward a couple of months, I got separated and I move into this new space with my daughter and I loved it. I loved my apartment. It was a townhouse. We set it up like girl power and it was everything I wanted to buy from Home Goods. I didn't have to answer to everybody. It was a mishmash of stuff. And somebody, my employee was like, "You should call Lillian to come and sage your new space." Michelle Dempsey: And I was like, "I could burn a freaking leaf in my kitchen. I don't need Lillian here." And then I was like, "What the hell? I liked her last time." So I call her to come over and she's walking around and she's burning sage. And she gets to my kitchen and she's like, "Oh my God. Oh my God, you have to get rid of that." And I was like, "What?" She was like, "Your knife set. It's in your heart. It's in your heart chakra corner. It's in the corner of your ... This is the relationship corner of your house. There's knives there." And I'm like, "I didn't know. My house didn't come with a map." So she made me move the knives. So she told me where to put them. Michelle Dempsey: Then she goes up to my bedroom and I had a painting on my wall that was very like strong womanesque. Okay. It was like a beautiful black woman lounge singer from the '30s or '40s singing into a microphone. It looked like she was screaming and I loved it. It was so strong. She's like, "You got to take it off your wall. Take it off. I'm going to leave the room, take it off the wall and I'll come back in." And I was like, "All right," needless to say, I'm like, "What did I just, what just happened here?" Three days later I met Spencer, my now husband. And I'm like, "I'm going to give that to Lillian. That was all Lillian." Catherine Shanahan: Yeah. She took away ... She made you a little bit more vulnerable. Michelle Dempsey: It was so funny how she freaked out about the knives. I'll never forget it. Karen Chellew: Wow. Yeah. What an impact she had. That was a great investment. Michelle Dempsey: I can't find her now. She's not on Facebook anymore because I've wanted to recommend her to people, even though I still think maybe it's, I don't know if it's real, but just the experience was so cool. Catherine Shanahan: I always think that there's signs out there and you either choose to take them or we don't. And so whether, you could have said, "Hell, I'm not doing that," or when she left the house, you could have put the picture back up on the wall. Michelle Dempsey: I never put it back up. My husband ... I still have it. It's in my garage. For some reason I can't get rid of it. And I'm really good at throwing things away, but it sat in my garage, in my townhouse. I never put it back up. Then it came with us to this house and he's like, "Can we throw it away now or give it away?" And I'm like, "No, I want it there. It's a reminder." So great. Catherine Shanahan: That's good. That's a good reminder. Karen Chellew: I love that. Catherine Shanahan: I also like what you said about, and one of the first things to help people move through that notion of death and divorce. Because again, I am a silver lining type of girl. So I feel passionate about this as well, dismantle. Yes. Your divorce, your life as you knew it, or what you thought you had or wish you hope that you had is now being dismantled. But when you dismantle, remember, it's just a chapter in your story. I always say divorce is a part of my story. It is not my entire story. It's just a little piece of it. So I like that phrasing dismantling. Michelle Dempsey: Thank you. I liken it, and I'd probably say this in every podcast, too losing a job. Obviously losing a job is not as emotionally traumatic as a divorce. However, when you lose your job, you don't lose the job and decide, "Oh my God, I've lost a job. I'm never going to work again and my whole life is over. Forget working. It's not for me. I'm just going to shrivel up and die." No, you take the lessons. "Okay. Maybe I wasn't as passionate at this job as I could have been because of X, Y, and Z. Maybe I'm really more designed to do something else." You take the lessons and you move forward and you get out and find another job. With ending a marriage, It's the same thing. That thing in your life didn't work out. That doesn't mean the other things can't work out. And so that's how I relate it. Karen Chellew: Yeah. I love that. Well, thank you Michelle, for being with us today and for your wonderful work with Moms Moving On, I know your community really does count on you and we've heard great things about you from our podcasts with you recently. So thanks for being here and we look forward to more conversations.

So often, when thinking of divorce, we think of it in the same way we would a death. However, there is no comparison between the two, and thinking this way will only make the process harder on us than it needs to be. While it’s normal to grieve the end of a marriage, we have to remind ourselves that post-divorce, we’re still alive, and that means we have a ton of opportunities to create beautiful lives for ourselves. However, that can be easier said than done. In a world so determined to equate death with divorce, how can we see the silver linings of the situation? How can we shift the way we’ve been taught to think of divorce entirely? In this episode, Founder of Moms Moving On and Coach & Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®), Michelle Dempsey shares how to stop viewing divorce as a death.   3 Things You’ll Love About This Episode  How to view divorce as a learning opportunity: When we lose a friendship, we don’t write off ever having another friend, and it should be the same with divorce. Take whatever contributed to the breakdown of the relationship as a lesson and use it to move on to something even better. Why we need to reframe divorce: Divorce signals the end of a chapter, but it also comes with massive opportunities. Post-split, we have the chance to create a life we love, with the right person by our side.  How to get closure after a divorce: When experiencing a death, we have a ceremony, and that helps to give us closure. While death and divorce are not the same, having some kind of a celebration can give us a much-needed sense of finality.    Guest Bio: Michelle Dempsey is a writer, mom, coach, Certified Divorce Specialist, speaker, and genuine girl power enthusiast.

Michelle Dempsey-Multack knew she would be getting a divorce when she was walking down the aisle! She shares her unbelievable story of re-invention, her battles with anxiety (and how that multiplies by 100 when you have a kid!), co-parenting when you hate your ex, and finding love after divorce.

Moving on after divorce is easier said than done. Loneliness, isolation, shame, and guilt are all commonplace after separation and divorce. Often, people going through separation feel like they won't ever be able to get back on their feet and may even worry that they will never find love again. If these feelings sound familiar, this is the episode for you. On this episode of Divorce, Healthy!, attorney and author Ashley-Nicole Russell welcomes Michelle Dempsey-Multack, Certified Divorce Specialists and host of the https://momsmovingon.com/ (Moms Moving On Podcast), to discuss her system for overcoming the emotional complexities that accompany divorce and how women can come out stronger on the other side. Michelle reveals how she uses what she learned during her own divorce to help other women overcome their suffering and thrive. Ashley-Nicole and Michelle open up about their respective divorces and how the process was ultimately a teaching experience. “I truly feel I had to be married to him for all of these unresolved demons and issues and traumas from my past to surface once and for all so that I could confront them. Because I had been ignoring them and living in denial for a really long time.” (8:15) Michelle also reveals how she discovered that she suffered from an anxious attachment style because of her parents' divorce and how this affected her relationships and divorce. Today, both Ashley-Nicole and Michelle are in loving and healthy relationships with partners that understand the struggle they've experienced. Michelle advises acknowledging to yourself that the situation will be challenging, “you know it's going to be hard. It's an unfortunate situation that's happened, but it is also an opportunity to move forward in a way that works best for you, to put your best foot forward, to honor what you did wrong, and vow to not do it again. So if you're willing to do the hard work, you're going to get to a good place. Nothing good comes easy. Don't expect it to be easy. And if you feel like it's easier than you expect it, then good for you, then you're in a good place.” (17:56)  For more information on Michelle Dempsey-Multack's podcast, visit https://momsmovingon.com/ (MomsMovingOn.com).

Michelle attended American University as a Journalism major, graduated Hofstra University’s Communications program with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communications, and then earned a Double Masters Degree in Education from Adelphi University. Originally from New York, Michelle grew up fascinated by the hustle and bustle of New York City. She was aching to “make it” as something, anything, ever since 9th grade. “I remember walking into my first day of high school, and one of my teachers announcing “Whoa, this one is powerful – we’re going to have to watch out for her,” Michelle recalls. That sentence has always stuck with her and has motivated her to always keep moving, harder and faster, toward her dreams. Michelle moved to Miami in her late 20’s where the “second part of her life” began. She married her daughter’s father and they brought beautiful Bella into the world. Years later, Michelle remarried her now-husband Spencer, and they live in North Miami Beach where they are raising their beautiful blended family, sneaking in as many ski trips as possible, going to every concert they can, and truly enjoying this new phase of their lives.  Follow Michelle on Social Media: Instagram:  @themichelledempsey Facebook:  @themichelledempsey *********************************************************************************************** ABOUT THE PODCAST CREATOR AND HOST: SUSAN GUTHRIE, ESQ., is nationally recognized as one of the top family law and divorce mediation attorneys in the country.  She is one of the Co-Chair's of the American Bar Association's DR Section Mediation Committee and is the Founder of Divorce in a Better Way which provides a curated selection of resources and information for those facing divorce and other life changes.  Susan has created a website of curated resources for those facing divorce.  Find out more at www.divorceinabetterway.com. ************************************************************************************************ THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS!

In this episode of Become a Media Maven, I speak with Michelle Dempsey. Michelle is a dear friend of mine and fellow mompreneur who hustles hard… and her hustle translates into dollars. I call Michelle the queen of self-promotion. She began her career as a teacher, then she started writing for various publications and fell in love with creating content. She was doing it and promoting it so well for herself, that soon to be clients started contacting her. That’s how she started her business, Very Well Written. In the sixth episode of Become a Media Maven, Michelle talks about how many times her content was rejected and what she did with those rejections to turn it into dollars. Michelle is also sharing her networking secrets - a form of lead generation many people hate doing, but she has learned to love it and see an ROI from all of those local networking events.

Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele immediately argued that Cosby’s bail should be revoked and he be jailed. He argued that the entertainer has a plane and could flee.“This is somebody who has unlimited wealth,” Steele argued. “I don’t think any amount of bail can assure his presence under these circumstance.” Cosby spit back, yelling, almost as if to himself: “He doesn’t have a plane, you asshole.”Phill.com Though the jury took very little time to find Mr. Cosby guilty, Michelle Dempsey, a law professor at Villanova University, cautioned that the verdict should not be regarded as a litmus test for #MeToo, but simply as a jury’s decision in a single case.More important, she said, is that the case is part of a shift in what she calls the “norms of accountability.” People can discuss abuse on Twitter, while many companies have beefed up harassment training.New York Times   Crowd of over 50,000 rallies at Capitol in support of Arizona teachers https://www.12news.com/article/news/education/recap-crowd-of-over-50000-rallies-at-capitol-in-support-of-arizona-teachers/75-546029723

When we are born, we have this unshakable confidence that tells us that we are a beautiful and wonderful person. That disappears as we grow up with our realization of society’s notion and standard for beauty. In all of these experiences, Michelle Dempsey found the value of her inner beauty and voice as a woman through writing letters to herself. She developed a mindset of shifting from bad life experiences to memorable life events that turned her into the go-to writer for moms and businesses who are struggling with marketing. Michelle shares that you don’t need to be a great writer to connect with readers. You just need to put out memorable content that is authentic.  

Was your entrepreneurial dream completely different than the careers you had two masters degrees in? When you decided to go for it, did your family hold an intervention to tell you that you were nuts? Well when Michelle Dempsey quit her job as a teacher to become a blogger, this was exactly what she faced. Though instead of letting them act as deterrents, she used them as fuel to her fire and was determined to prove her family wrong, and her gut right. Now a successful and published writer, with a content marketing and brand consulting business (to name a few hats of hers); she provides lifestyle and career advice to readers with her blog, and helps clients rebrand or build their business. Through her website, Michelle Dempsey Very Well Written, visitors can learn about some of the services she provides such as: brand storytelling, digital strategy, website design, as well as copywriting and content writing. Her blog and radio show also provide free tips on marketing and rebranding with posts like, '3 Things You Can do to Boost your Brand Before Summer (And Make More Money)', and 'The 5 Ways You're Screwing Up Your Marketing Plan'. Initially, her blog and writing acted as outlet for her frustrations as a new mommy with a baby who was constantly sick, and trying to balance a career along with it. To her surprise, her blog gathered steam, and she was contacted by someone from high school who worked for Creative Child; a parenting magazine. They wanted to publish her work, and it showed her that she could make a career out of writing which had always been dear to her. Due to a rough upbringing, writing had always acted as a way to express herself. She was fascinated by the art of using words to convey emotions, and her journal was attached to her hip.  So after she saw that she could write professionally and get published, she went for it and took it up full time. She set three publication goals for herself: be published by Elite Daily, Huffington Post, and Scary Mommy. Elite Daily was her first conquest, but Huffington Post and Scary Mommy proved to be a harder task. Nonetheless, she achieved all three goals within three months! From her blog, her content and marketing business organically grew. People were impressed with how she used the media to market her blog and her personal brand, and started looking to her for her expertise. A year and a half later, she is considered the marketing guru of south Florida! She also uses her personal brand to empower women, work on personal development, productivity, and tackle the world of entrepreneurship. Come join us for another episode and hear how Michelle owned her identity as a writer, and continues to expand her career! In this episode you will... Learn how to find your new identity as an entrepreneur Know how to grow your personal and business brand Figure out how to float financially in the early stages of entrepreneurship Find ways to increase your website's SEO Understand why you should invest in quality services that grow your business Know when to dial up and down your drive in order to give yourself some rest INSIGHTS "Pride can be your worst enemy, but at a certain point it can really drive you...there was no way I was going to let myself be wrong. I had to prove everybody wrong...and I'm finding, as I connect with entrepreneurs, that's the attitude. You have to have this insatiable drive to prove everybody wrong, to make yourself successful, and if you really believe it, it's going to happen." -Michelle Dempsey "I want to grow. I don't like being complacent...I like to think that if I made it this far, I can make it that much further...I had to make a name for myself and I think that comes from the lack of confidence and some of the things I dealt with growing up that now that the tables have turned, I want to go as hard and as far as I can." -Michelle Dempsey "The second you get comfortable, I feel like the rug is going to be pulled from up under you. You have to just believe in your craft enough to know that you're good and you're desirable and you are offering something that people should have. But at the same time, know that there's 3,000 people at your heels trying to run you down. Nobody's ever at the top, everybody wants more." -Michelle Dempsey RESOURCES Michelle Dempsey Very Well Written Michelle Dempsey LinkedIn Michelle Dempsey Facebook Michelle Dempsey Instagram Michelle Dempsey Twitter ProFemmes The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath The Secret by Rhonda Byrne Trello
