Don’t be responsible - Live life your way - Michelle Elman

Season 17

“If I see someone on the beach with their scars on show, do I start a conversation with them about it, or do I not mention it? That question used to terrify me.”

– Michelle Elman

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

My guest Michelle, and her determination in shaking up the conversation about standardised beauty and body shame, sharing an inspiring message of self-love, body positivity and body confidence.

Michelle Elman is a 5 Board Accredited Life Coach, specialised in body confidence, the founder of “Mindset For Life”, a company that works to build the confidence of women worldwide, and the creator of the “Scarred not Scared” campaign. She had over 15 surgeries before the age of 20, and she used to hide her scars and be ashamed of them. Now she teaches women how to feel comfortable in their own skin.

Guest: Michelle Elman

Hosted By: Kitty Waters

This heart felt podcast will give you an insight and direction into the devastating psychological effects of a non-standard body shape, and how do not let them dictate your life.

Episode Topics

  • Multiple surgery
  • Body shame, body hate
  • Wearing a bikini
  • “Be careful, you are not like other people”
  • NLP as an alternative to therapy
  • The perfectionism excuse

You will leave this episode with the knowledge, passion, and purpose to embrace your scars, don’t let your fears and limiting beliefs define you, and start the conversation you want to be in.
