Today’s guest is Michelle Ann Collins. As the author of two books for spouses of suicide and those supporting them, and the founder of Inhabit Joy, Michelle works with the grieving to help them reclaim their wholeness and build resilience for life’s inevitable challenges.

After losing her husband to military suicide, and experiencing other losses, as a certified grief educator and grief yoga instructor, Michelle combines the tools she’s learned as a Wellness coach and from her studies in positive psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality to turn post-traumatic stress into post-traumatic growth and resilience to help her clients thrive.
