It’s the final episode of season 1 for Success over Struggle!
In this segment, my podcast partner of the day, Kin Perry, and I introduce you to Michelle DiMuria, founder and CEO of the Bee Daring Foundation. As a victim and survivor of sexual assault and other unforeseen circumstances, Michelle could have allowed what happened to her to consume her life, and she almost did.
Instead, she used her voice to help others and since becoming a mental advocate in 2016, she has talked to over 6,000 people to remind them that they are their circumstance…they are human beings first.
Tune in to hear more of Michelle’s story, what she has on the horizon with the Bee Daring Foundation and how you can help make a difference.
