Ep. 124 - A Tough Lesson 2024 Has Taught...

Michelle Maros & Barb Schmidt
About this episode

This week, Barb and Michelle discuss an unexpected lesson Michelle has learned in 2024. Michelle opens up about her tendencies to be gullible and “too trusting”, while Barb shares helpful reframes and insights.


In this episode, they talk about:

  • Just because you have been harmed in the past, doesn’t mean you can’t seek the good in people
  • Reframing how we view the intentions and actions of others
  • Showing grace and love towards ourselves and how we perceive life
