Unless you're well, nobody else around you will be ok.
Ever wondered how a pop star handles the pressures of fame, addiction, and personal health battles? In this episode of the 'Believe in People Podcast', host Matthew Butler sits down with Emmy & Brit Award-winning singer Michelle Heaton, a member of Liberty X. Michelle opens up about her brave journey to sobriety after checking into rehab in April 2021. Now, 21 months sober, she shares the highs and lows of her recovery process.
Michelle talks candidly about setting boundaries in social situations and the importance of peer support and asking for help. She also discusses her proactive decision to undergo a double mastectomy and hysterectomy due to her hereditary BRCA gene, which significantly increased her risk of cancer. But it's not all heavy topics; Michelle also chats about staying active and her exhilarating experience on ITV’s 'Dancing on Ice'.
Her story is a powerful testament to resilience and the importance of taking control of one's health and well-being. Whether you're dealing with addiction, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in inspiring stories of human strength, this episode is a must-listen.
