Go from Surviving to Thriving Workshop

I will teach you how I learned to thrive!

My name is Michelle Dean and I am passionate about teaching women (and a few good men) how to go from surviving to thriving.  Being a victim of abuse does not have to ruin your entire life!  As a survivor of childhood sexual abuse I endured many challenges in my life including physical violence in relationships as an adult.  I have met many women over the years who stay "stuck" in the past and struggle to learn how to cope in life, let alone thrive!  I have created this workshop to teach you what I have learned over the years that helped me go from surviving to thriving.  

In the workshop you will receive a copy of my book, "My Journey from Surviving to Thriving" and I will walk you through my 6 life lessons and 3 next steps action items.  


This is an interactive workshop where I will encourage you to step out of your comfort zone.  I will NEVER force you to participate but the more you are open to participate the more you will learn.  

Stay tuned for more details as I put this workshop together and set future dates and cost.


If you are part of a women's group, church group, or would like details on how to host this workshop please reach out to me via email at michelle@myjourneytothriving.com.
