ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What does it take to rebuild your entire life when the very people meant to protect you tell you that you are worthless? How do you transition from bracing for impact in survival mode to stepping into abundance, purpose, and impact?
In this deeply moving and empowering episode of Eagle Freedom Presents, host Deston Rogers sits down with Michelle Rogers—author, entrepreneur, lead coach, and founder of The Resiliency Blueprint.
Growing up as the family scapegoat, Michelle endured extreme childhood abuse, severe blame, and a harrowing attempt on her life by her own mother. After surviving years in a toxic, abusive marriage, she found herself walking away with just four boxes and a shattered sense of self-worth.
Fast forward to today: Michelle runs seven successful real estate companies, is happily married to a partner who truly sees her worth, and is the author of The Resiliency Blueprint: A Life Guide to Being Seen, Safe, and Loved. Together with her husband, she re-opened her home to foster a non-verbal, autistic boy—the catalyst that inspired her deeper trauma healing and led to her big, hairy, audacious goal: building OK Ranch, a dedicated community offering equine-assisted therapy for children with trauma and disabilities.
If you are wearing a mask, smiling at the world while drowning on the inside, or stuck in analysis paralysis, Michelle’s message will give you the roadmap and hope you need to rise, inspire, and overcome.
