Story of Strength- Michelle- "The Girl They Tried to Steal”

Michelle – “The Girl They Tried to Steal”
In this deeply moving episode of Stories of Strength, Michelle shares her raw, unfiltered journey of survival, addiction, loss, and redemption. Kidnapped at just 11 years old, enduring repeated abuse, and carrying unspoken trauma into adulthood, Michelle turned to alcohol at 14 in an attempt to numb the pain. She became a mother of eight by 30, battled addiction again through prescribed pain medication, and eventually lost everything—her home, her stability, and nearly her life.
After seven long years of struggling to find her way out, Michelle chose recovery. Today, she stands 14 years sober, a volunteer, a healer, and living proof that trauma does not get the final word. She now dedicates her life to helping others find hope, self-worth, and a path forward.
Michelle’s tattoo—a Medusa symbol representing feminine rage, protection, and reclaimed power—marks the transformation from the little girl who was stolen to the woman who survived.
This is a story of brutal honesty, unbreakable resilience, and the truth that healing is possible—even after everything.

NeoTrad Life Episode 5 "Handling Christmas Chaos in a Blended Family"

Welcome back to NeoTrad Life! Today we’re talking about preparing for the holidays as co-parents — because this season isn’t always Hallmark perfection. Sometimes it’s twinkle lights and matching PJs… and sometimes it’s “Home Alone,” but with custody schedules, pickup texts, and a sprinkle of guilt. But it doesn’t have to feel chaotic. With a little planning, a little communication, and a whole lot of grace, the holidays can be peaceful — or at least peaceful-ish. So let’s walk through what’s worked for us, what definitely didn’t, and how to protect the joy of the season for you and your kids.
