‘Your 2nd Act’ with Michelle Parsonage

Episode: From Hidden Truths to Self-Discovery: A Midlife Awakening

In midlife, many of us start questioning who we really are beyond the roles we have played, whether as a mother, daughter, partner, or professional. But what happens when family secrets come to light and shake the very foundation of our identity? In this episode, Michelle Scheibner shares her deeply personal journey of uncovering hidden truths within her family and how they shaped her sense of self. Through therapy, introspection, and an ongoing commitment to healing, she has learned that identity is not just about where we come from, but about who we choose to become. We explore the weight of emotional inheritance, the complexity of belonging, and why midlife is often the perfect time to redefine ourselves on our own terms.
