233: Divorced, Single Mom Finds Love and Self-Worth with Michelle Demaree

In this episode of 'Happiness Happens', I’m joined by Michelle Demaree, a luxury concierge jewelry expert that navigated founding her own business (after premier training at Harry Winston and Tiffany) as a divorcee and single mom.  Although leaving her marriage with her young daughter meant Michelle had to start back at square one, her enduring belief in true love, partnership, and her commitment to creating a stable home for her little girl never wavered.  Together, we get into empowering discussions on self-love, finding happiness, and overcoming tough periods in life, such as divorce, starting up new businesses, and more.  Michelle shares her personal transformation from experiencing a challenging marriage and career struggles to discovering true happiness and love, emphasizing the importance of self-connection, gratitude, meditation, and proactive mindset shifts. Through her story, Michelle showcases how embracing self-worth and gratitude can lead to profound happiness and fulfilling relationships.  The episode also touches on the importance of having a vision for one's life, utilizing meditation and gratitude practices to foster positive changes, and the transformative power of asking oneself what can be learned from difficult situations. Michelle's journey illuminates the pathway to achieving greater depths of happiness and love by focusing on self-improvement and the cultivation of a positive, loving relationship with oneself.
