Dare to Care with Michelle

What if success isn’t about doing more… but about aligning who you are with what you want? 👀 In this episode, I sit down with Aabri Kimball, founder of Life of Design Network and known as “The Greatness Instigator.” After years of coaching alongside Tony Robbins, Aabri brings a powerful mix of mindset, strategy, and energetic alignment that actually creates real results. We talk about: 💜 Breaking out of patterns that keep you stuck 🔥 Aligning your inner world with your outer results ✨ Emotional intelligence and true personal growth 👑 What it really means to design your life on purpose If you’ve been doing all the “right” things but something still feels off… this conversation will hit. This isn’t just about success… it’s about becoming. 🔗 Connect with Aabri: 🌐 https://lifeofdesignnetwork.com/ 📘 https://www.facebook.com/aabri.kimball 📸 https://www.instagram.com/greatness_instagator/ Always remember that Caring is Cool

You can ignore your symptoms. You can normalize your discomfort. You can accept “this is just aging.” Or… ✨ You can choose your hard. In this episode of Dare to Care, I sit down with Dr. Ilona Berkoben, functional medicine practitioner and founder of The Gut Health Revolution, to talk about gut health, inflammation, and the courage it takes to stop suppressing symptoms and start asking deeper questions. 🔥 Dr. Ilona shares her powerful philosophy: Choose your hard. Know better. Do better. We talk about what it really means to advocate for your body. To step into the unknown. To suppress your fear. To take ownership of your healing. Because caring for yourself begins with this truth: 💜 You are worthy to meet your own needs. If you’ve ever felt dismissed… Frustrated… Stuck in symptom management… This conversation will challenge you and empower you.

Some conversations don’t feel like interviews. They feel like sitting across from a woman who gets it. 💜 In this episode of Dare to Care with Michelle, I’m joined by leadership and transformational coach Claire Adamou, author of Life After Divorce: From Surviving to Thriving 📖✨ and what unfolds is honest, real, and deeply human. We talk about the part of divorce no one warns you about. The identity shift. The quiet grief. The “Who am I now?” moments. Claire shares her journey through toxic relationships, single motherhood, and the brave decision to rebuild her life with intention instead of fear. We talk about common emotions after divorce 💔, practical steps women can take before making the leap, the importance of self-care 🧘‍♀️, and what healing actually looks like in real life. This isn’t surface-level advice. It’s two women talking about reinvention, resilience, and rising 🌅 If you’re navigating divorce, questioning your identity, or standing at the edge of change, this episode will feel like a deep exhale. You are allowed to begin again. 🌿 ✨ Connect with Claire Adamou 📖 Book: Life After Divorce: From Surviving to Thriving 🌐 Website: claireadamou.com 📩 Email: hello@claireadamou.com 🔗 LinkedIn & Instagram: @claireadamou And if you’re new here, I’m Michelle Weihman, empowerment coach, nurse leader, and your host.

In this powerful, honest, and deeply human conversation, Michelle sits down with Diego Trujillo, CEO of Las Vegas HEALS, to talk about what it really means to lead, serve, and care inside a healthcare system that desperately needs both innovation and heart. Diego’s journey into healthcare did not start with medicine. It started with theology, hospice work, and sitting with families during their most vulnerable moments. From caring for his father through dialysis and end-of-life decisions, to stepping into a CEO role one week before a global shutdown, Diego shares what happens when calling meets courage. ✨ Why healthcare shortages are not just staffing problems, but systems and values problems ✨ What families are never taught about navigating healthcare until they are forced to ✨ Nursing burnout, leadership gaps, and why unity matters more than competition ✨ The thin line between faith, foolishness, and perseverance ✨ Why success is not money or titles, but impact, legacy, and people Diego shares several ways listeners can stay engaged with the work being done to strengthen healthcare in Nevada and beyond. 🩺 Las Vegas HEALS ➡️ Diego highly recommends signing up for their newsletter, often called one of the best healthcare newsletters in Las Vegas. 📧 Direct Contact • Diego: diego@lasvegasheals.org • Membership questions: adriana@lasvegasheals.org (He encourages real conversations, not pressure, to find the right fit.) 🏎️ Special Fundraiser Announcement 🚗 Gears for Good LV This one is different. • Ride-alongs in real Porsche race cars • Drift team experiences • Not a gala. Not a golf tournament. • An unforgettable way to support healthcare workforce advancement. This conversation is about daring to dream bigger than the current system, daring to act before you feel ready and daring to care for yourself so you can truly care for others. ✨ Always remember that Caring is Cool 💜

In this episode, I talk with ER nurse and author Jenn Johnson 💫 Jenn learned to trust her intuition by listening to her body. She could feel what was happening with her patients before the tests ever showed it. She also opens up about being bullied in multiple ER jobs. How she handled it. How she grew. And how she refused to shrink herself. Jenn’s new book Nursing Intuition breaks down the science behind that gut feeling nurses get. And how it can save time, stress, and lives. Jenn is wise, grounded, and full of experience. You will love this episode. Find her at www.nursejenn.ca 💜 Instagram Always remember that Caring is Cool 💜

Carrie Harris, school principal, empowerment facilitator, podcaster, and truth teller Her show: Wheatfields Wisdom and Whiskey 🎧 In this heart forward episode, Carrie Harris gets real about shrinking to fit, choosing reinvention, and living in radical alignment. We talk boundaries, leadership, nervous system calm, and the power of telling the truth. If you have ever felt too much or not enough, this one feels like a deep breath and a green light. What you will hear The moment Carrie refused to keep dimming her light ✨ Why authenticity works when it is real and practiced daily 💜 Boundaries as self respect and leadership in action 🧭 Flow, not force, as a repeatable life practice 🌊 How to turn your story into a usable strategy 📖➡️🎯 Modeling wellness for kids, teams, and families 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Bandage off courage and why waiting rarely helps 🩹 Quick takeaways Decision creates momentum.

It’s Freedom Friday, and today we’re ending Nourish Week with a gentle, powerful 3-round EFT tapping session (also known as Emotional Freedom Technique). If you’ve never done tapping before—don’t worry, I’ll walk you through it. You can tap along, speak the words out loud, or simply listen and receive the shift. Either way, this is your invitation to let go of the “shoulda’s” and come back to what actually supports you. 💜 In this session, we’ll tap on: Releasing guilt and pressure Receiving nourishment without conditions Reclaiming your worth, your peace, and your power ✨ Your care doesn’t have to be earned. ✨ Your needs are valid. ✨ Your freedom starts with presence. 🌀 This week’s affirmation: “I create a life that nourishes every part of me.” Join us inside the Dare to EmpowerHER community for more support: www.daretoempowerher.com Always remember that Caring is Cool.

It’s Thankful Thursday, and this week we’re focused on one powerful word: nourish. And yes—when life is loud, messy, and overwhelming, gratitude can feel far away. But sometimes the most nourishing thing you can do… is to pause, be present, and thank yourself. Not for being perfect. Not for doing it all. But for simply showing up again. Still breathing. Still trying. Still loving through it all. ✨ In today’s DDL, I’m inviting you to reflect on: What’s quietly going right this week? What’s nourishing you—even in small, unseen ways? And where can you thank yourself for choosing care, even in the chaos? 💜 Maybe you drank more water. 💜 Maybe you said no. 💜 Maybe you softened instead of snapping. Whatever it was—celebrate it. You deserve your own gratitude. 🌀 This week’s affirmation: “I create a life that nourishes every part of me.” Want more goodness? 👉 Join us inside the Dare to EmpowerHER community: www.daretoempowerher.com Always remember that Caring is Cool.

This week, we’re talking all about nourishment—and today, I want to talk about something that quietly steals it from us: the “shoulda.” “I shoulda worked out.” “I shoulda said yes.” “I shoulda been more disciplined.” We’ve all been there. But those “shoulda” thoughts? They don’t serve your wellness. They’re rooted in guilt, shame, and pressure to perform. And they disconnect you from what you actually need. 💜 So here’s your reminder: Wellness isn’t about punishment. It’s about presence. Today’s reflection invites you to ask: ✨ What truly nourishes me right now? ✨ What does my nervous system need? ✨ Where can I drop the “shoulda” and choose support instead? Whether it’s rest, movement, a boundary, or a nap in the sunshine—you get to decide. Wellness is yours to define. 🌀 This week’s affirmation: “I create a life that nourishes every part of me.” 💫 Join us inside the Dare to EmpowerHER community: www.daretoempowerher.com Always remember that Caring is Cool.

Welcome back to your Daily Dose of Love 💜 Today, I’m sharing a quick story about my sweet Carly—13 years old, 15 pounds, and full of furbaby wisdom I didn’t know I needed. We’ve been shifting our pups to homemade food—real chicken, veggies, pumpkin love—but the moment I pulled out the kibble completely? Carly gave me that look… “Ma’am… where is the crunch?” 😂 And it hit me—how often do we do the same thing? We check all the boxes: smoothies, gratitude journals, prayer, podcast. But still, something feels... off. This episode is your invitation to ask: ✨ What’s your version of the crunch? ✨ What actually satisfies you—mind, body, and soul? ✨ What would make your nourishment feel complete? Take a breath, tune in, and tell the truth about what you really need. 🌀 This week’s affirmation: “I create a life that nourishes every part of me.” 💜 Want more?

Let’s be honest—life is messy. And optimism? It’s not always easy. But what if optimism wasn’t about pretending things are fine… What if it was about choosing to believe in something better—even when things are not okay? In this episode of Dare to Care with Michelle, I’m getting real with you about what optimism really is (and what it’s not). We’re talking: Why “just think positive” doesn’t work 🙄 How optimism is actually a form of power And the difference between probability (math) and possibility (🔥 your magic) I’m sharing childhood reflections, my favorite quote (yes, I said it), and the powerful story of how Mignon François turned $5 and faith into a million-dollar cupcake biz—because that’s what belief can do. Optimism is choosing possibility over probability. And you, my friend, are allowed to believe again. 🎧 Listen now → https://open.spotify.com/episode/1QiQ9MYLtHs8ZDjeRqmRfj?si=L_Ub5zKCSL65ZQlizunUJQ 📚 Grab my bestselling book Dare to Care: Wellness Warriors https://a.co/d/eO7T1ZN 🌱 Join my membership Dare to EmpowerHER Journey https://michellereneeweihman.com/dare-empowerher-journey You’re worthy of more than just getting by.
