“I just got done listening to Michelle’s very first podcast! It was everything I expected and more. Michelle is so relatable, honest, and real. And let’s be honest she has an amazing husband that is amazing at supporting her. I’ve been following Michelle for a little while now and I was so excited to hear her podcast was finally launched! Thank you Michelle for your honest look into your relationship and how you and your husband communicate with entrepreneurial living. I am definitely going to use some of your wisdom in my life! Can’t wait to hear your next episode next Tuesday! Get it lady!”
