What if the answer isn’t to change everything… but to change just a few things that change everything?
In this episode of Message in the Middle, Marianne sits down with Dr. Michele Kehrer, business growth coach, entrepreneur, and four-time cancer survivor, to explore what it really means to find clarity in the middle of chaos.
After building and selling a successful physical therapy practice in downtown Chicago, Michele now helps overwhelmed entrepreneurs and midlife women step out of constant decision-making and into focused, sustainable growth. But her work is deeply shaped by her personal journey through illness, loss, and reinvention.
This conversation goes beyond business strategy. It is about identity, resilience, and learning how to move forward when life no longer looks the way you expected.
Together, Marianne and Michele explore:
- The difference between being busy and being truly stuck
- Why most women are focusing on the wrong things
- How to find clarity in the middle of competing priorities
- The emotional side of letting go, even when it is the right choice
- What cancer taught Michele about time, energy, and what actually matters
- How small mindset shifts can create meaningful, lasting change
This episode will resonate with any woman navigating a season of change, whether in her health, career, relationships, or sense of self.
Because sometimes the shift that saves your life is the same one that helps you rebuild it.
