What if the life you want has been waiting for you? For too many women, they reach a point in their life having a quiet, unsettling question, "Is this it?" Perhaps you've been living on autopilot. You are going through the motions of performing, pleasing, achieving, yet still feeling like something essential is missing. This book was written for you.

Courageously You is not a self-help book full of easy answers. It is a true story of a real woman's account of hitting rock bottom, rebuilding from scratch, and discovering that the transformation she had been searching for was never about becoming someone new. It was about finally becoming herself. Through seven powerful frameworks drawn from seventeen years of recovery, hard-won life experience, and hundreds of hours coaching women through their own breaking points and breakthroughs, author Michelle Thompson offers you something rare: the truth about what change actually takes, and the tools to make it happen.

You are not too late. You are not too much. You are not too far gone. 

You are, and have always been, Courageously You.

Michelle Thompson is a certified life coach, speaker, and author who helps women in midlife stop settling and start living. To work with her or bring her to your stage, visit michellethompsoncoaching.com

Industry Reviews

"Courageously You is the book so many women have been waiting for: honest, practical, and deeply human."

- Christina Nylese, bestselling author of Self-Love, Self-Healing: Using the Mind and Body to Get Unstuck, Heal Old Wounds and Live Abundantly

"Michelle's journey has been nothing short of profound, amazing and a real-life transformation shaped by courage and determination. It is a victorious story and a powerful reminder that when you choose to invest in yourself, you are stepping into a life-saving path of growth, healing and purpose."

- Sher Canada, Author of The Mirror's Been Lying To You, and Former Sr Group VP of Stores for Chico's, Soma and Boston Proper. 

"Courageously You is more than a book; it's a lifeline, a mirror, and a roadmap for anyone who has ever wondered, 'Is this all there is...or is there more?' From the very first pages, Michelle Thompson draws you in with raw honesty and unfiltered truth. She doesn't write from a pedestal, she writes from the road she's walked. A single mother of two who hit rock bottom and fought her way back, Michelle shares her journey with a level of vulnerability that is both disarming and deeply empowering.

What makes this book so compelling is that it's not just about recovery; it's about reinvention."

-Vicki Thomas, Author of From Woodstock to Wisdom, A Boomer's Journey to 80, Chief Purpose Officer of My Future Purpose, two-time cancer survivor, and $100,000 Purpose Prize winner.
