#301 Transforming Grief and Breakups Through Daily Affirmations with Michelle Maros
In today's expert episode, I'm joined by Michelle Maros, founder of Peaceful Mind Peaceful Life, who just released her new book, Dear Friend: Daily Notes for Contemplation, Connection and Clarity. We dive into the misconceptions and real challenges around affirmations, why hearing supportive words from a friend lands so differently, and how self-compassion and self-trust don't just arrive overnight but are truly muscles we build over time. Michelle Maros shares honestly about her own healing experiences—from grieving her dad at 21 to navigating a tough breakup in her 20s—and how the tiniest daily habits (even something as simple as a morning cup of coffee) helped her move forward. We talk about embracing life’s ups and downs, the power of celebrating small victories, and letting go of the idea that healing has a big finish line. If you’ve ever struggled to trust yourself after heartbreak or felt stuck in the "shoulds," you’ll find so much to connect with here. Plus, we chat about how Dear Friend is designed to be your daily companion and source of hope on the healing journey.
