The Confidence Clinic Season 2, Episode 2: Michelle Agbulos.

Have you ever had your entire world crumble, carpet being pulled from underneath you? Michelle Agbulos definitely has and is here to share her story from rock-bottom to SHINE-ing again. And, wow, what a journey it’s been! Certainly one that will have you jolt from your seats and take lots of valuable notes on how to look after oneself through times of personal crisis. Yes, because Michelle’s story, however unique, speaks to the reality of many people - especially women - who lose themselves in toxic codependent relationships and struggle to find their way out. With honesty and (self-)humour, in this episode, Michelle retraces her traumatic story that left her overnight as a distraught single mother, precipitating her into a state of confusion and depression that pushed her to her limits. Till she said no more, and realised that living in survival mode and chain smoking through the pain were no longer feasible, especially with a daughter to take care of. But how did she do it? How did she manage to get herself out of this rough patch and reboot her life, rebuild confidence? In this episode, Michelle reveals how a simple driving motto - now a mantra - and reaching out and falling into incredible self-help tools allowed her to develop the courage not only to change her story but also to use it as an inspiration to help others. From victim to heroine, from scrambling through life to founding her own coaching business, developing her patented self-help technique SHINE and even publishing her first book 'Shine Baby Shine', this is an unmissable episode that truly has the potential to change your life!
