What do you do when life rips everything from you and then comes back for what’s left?

Michelle Collins didn’t just face one tragedy.
She faced three. Back to back. And each one tried to end her.

First, she lost her mother to leukemia.
Then a brutal divorce.
Then Glenn her Navy SEAL husband died by suicide.
Michelle was the one who found him.

What followed? PTSD. Dissociation. Substance use. Rage. Despair.
She couldn’t put on her socks let alone hold her life together.

But she didn’t stay broken.

This episode of Rising From the Ashes is not about “resilience.”
It’s about surviving when your soul is splintered and the tools they give you don’t fucking work.

🔥 In this raw and ruthless episode:
• What it feels like to completely lose your mind after suicide loss
• The truth about trauma, addiction, and your nervous system breaking down
• Why yoga and therapy weren’t enough and what actually saved her
• The moment sobriety started (and what almost stopped it)
• How Michelle built Inhabit Joy while still healing in real time
• And why “joy” isn’t a destination it’s a rebellious choice in hell

This isn’t inspiration.
This is survival alchemy.
