In this episode of Empowered & Out, my guest, Michele Schenk, shares how she stopped white-knuckling her way through life and finally said ‘enough’—to stress, to survival mode, and to the Midwest ‘I’m fine’ mask. Now she’s helping women and men do the same—with bold, no-BS coaching, tactical tools, and zero toxic positivity. If you're done managing anxiety and ready to start assassinating it, this one’s for you.
