Summary
In this candid solo episode, Michelle opens up about what makes October one of her favorite months — from Breast Cancer Awareness and World Mental Health Day to her playful love for candy corn and all things fall. With her signature humor and heart, she reflects on family conversations about health, generational cycles, and the importance of knowing your family’s medical history. Michelle also dives into the ongoing debate about the “Auntie” title, self-care during the final stretch of the year, and how she’s balancing work, rest, and gratitude. CHECK IN for laughter, reflection, and a reminder to thrive in mind, body, and soul!
