Panel: The Untapped Gold Mine of Social Media for Females!

Today we’re with Michelle Simone, Principal Consultant at Pepper Foster Consulting, Fitness Coach, mom and wife. We’re taking about an extremely passionate subject of mine – working and living through hard seasons. Michelle recently lost two family members in a row, including her mother after a five year bought with Alzheimers. Join us as Michelle and I go through the ways we can take care of ourselves during this time, being true to the experience and our feelings about it, and how corporations can help their employees navigate the rough passages in life. This is one of my favorite episodes and I thank Michelle for being so open and honest about her journey in order to help other women living with grief at home and in the workforce. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/laurie-halter/message

You guys, I can legitimately say this interview brought numerous waves of goose bumps because it hit SO close to home.

Please listen in to this powerhouse guest and learn whether you may be suffering through the Murky Middle and how to get yourself out!  --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/laurie-halter/message
