In this episode, Michelle shares briefly about her learning disability, a long-term abusive relationship and her infertility diagnosis. It was a combination of all those things that led her to become a self-published author.*

When Michelle went to University, she was struggling with her studies and her writing. Someone suggested she get tested and Michelle learned she had a severe learning disability and was only writing at a 9th grade level. The person that did the assessment said that he would be surprised if she graduated. Needless to say, she sent him a letter after her graduation. 🙂

Michelle was also in a long-term abusive relationship. This made her very anxious and depressed. Luckily, she was able to get out of this relationship.

She then met her husband and was later diagnosed with infertility. Michelle knew nothing about infertility, so she went to a bookstore to do some research. When she got there, she asked the worker where the infertility books were and she stared blankly. There was none.
