In this episode of Let's Talk About It with Lori Streator, I have a deep, insightful converastion with Michelle Ghassemi - an operations & business mentor who overcame a challenging upbringing of generational poverty, frequent moves & a parent with mental health struggles.

Michelle graciously shares about her unique growth mindset when it came to growing up poor, moving around a lot, her experience in foster homes and what led her to accept the leader in herself as she got into the workforce.

We talk about:

Her sense of adventure when it came to moving frequently as a young child
The willingness to develop self awareness and have confidence in the face of change
Navigating the salon industry as a natural leader and honoring her skills
How she's establishing significant female friendships as a woman in her 40s

You're going to want to listen to this one a few times! Michelle's story shows that it doesn't matter where you came from; what matters is what you do with what you're given.
