It was the infamous day she received the news she had breast cancer. In that paralyzing and devastating moment, she fought to make sense of what her life would become. As a wife, and mother of two, her future no longer had the spark of hope to bring to light her most creative and life-changing ideas and aspirations, but rather her fears began to overshadow her ability to live a purpose-driven life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuddenly, faced with a life of uncertainty, Michelle knew that if she didn’t acquire the resilience needed to survive cancer, she would lose the battle before the true fight had even begun. Therefore, rather than surrender to the relentless impact of cancer due to the mental and disheartening anguish it could cause, she made the decision to rise to the occasion to become the best version of herself despite feeling as if she was losing herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile fighting to stay alive, Michelle soon realized it wasn’t the chemotherapy treatments and major surgeries that posed the greatest challenges to her survival, but rather self-liming thoughts and actions. Little did she know this life-altering realization would become the catalyst and fuel needed to ignite her passion. A passion that reflected the authenticity of her humanity and transparency of her life’s calling, which would explain how she has become the person she is today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrior to Michelle’s diagnosis, she operated as the founder of Speak To Advance Communications, LLC. As a professional speaking coach, she helped women in business speak with confidence and authority to get the recognition and results they deserved. However, due to her journey with cancer, it has inspired her to also start a business helping others live their best, most authentic and courageous life by achieving optimal resilience within and beyond the workplace. Now in recovery, she believes that although everyone may not be impacted by cancer in their lifetime, it’s a good chance they will be consumed by cancerous thoughts or actions that may undermine their skills and talents to rise to their potential. It’s for this reason why Michelle is the person she is today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a former Area Director for Toastmasters International, a certified speaking coach, and most recently, a board member of the Minnesota National Speakers Association, Michelle has had the pleasure of working with clients from a diverse group of organizations. They include, but are not limited to, Land O’ Lakes, General Mills, and Johnson \u0026amp; Johnson. In addition to keynote speaking and facilitating result-driven workshops to thousands of employees, Michelle has been a CEO moderator for some of the most influential corporate leaders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMichelle is the author of the book “Rise and Shine! How to Live a Life of Resilience and Perform and Your Potential.” Her book has inspired many to live beyond the status quo and gain the strength and courage to overcome adversity and win in the game of life. Here are some testimonials influential change-makers have been inspired to say about Rise and Shine:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"Recommending Rise and Shine as a definite read is an easy recommendation for me. I LOVE the down-to-earth stories, examples, and real-world lived experiences that Michelle Perdue utilizes to help her readers thrive and flourish in life and work. This book is more than a motivational and inspirational book. It is a blueprint and roadmap to help the stuck get unstuck and the unmotivated get motivated so they can live and fulfill their life purpose. Rise and Shine is a book that appeals to all ages and audiences because the principles and practices are inclusive of all dimensions of diversity. If you’re feeling personally and professionally confused, lost, overwhelmed or fearful of what to do next—allow Rise and Shine to assist you on your journey of refocusing and recentering yourself.\"\u003cbr\u003eBy Dr. Jermaine M.

Some coaches, like myself, transition into this profession after gaining valuable life experiences in other fields. I believe these experiences—both positive and challenging—shape a coach into someone who can offer profound insights and perspective to facilitate transformation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMy journey started with a Bachelor of Science degree in Scientific and Technical Communications from the University of Minnesota. While this path didn't align with my long-term career aspirations, it equipped me with valuable skills and connections that proved beneficial later on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDuring my studies, I also pursued a minor in Rhetorical Arts, which deepened my passion for effective communication—both written and verbal. This foundation fueled my love for writing, blogging, and fostering meaningful conversations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFollowing graduation, I ventured into the vibrant world of high-end entertainment establishments. Over nearly a decade, I had the privilege of running various venues frequented by professional athletes, celebrities, and a diverse array of personalities. It was a dynamic environment that constantly challenged and inspired me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDriven by an entrepreneurial spirit, I fulfilled my dream of owning multiple hospitality businesses—a beautiful restaurant, a wine bar, a farm-to-table eatery, and a cocktail lounge. These ventures were not only creatively fulfilling but also deeply satisfying in their social impact.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDespite finding success and fulfillment in the hospitality industry, I've always embraced change and growth. Life's journey is about evolving and pursuing new aspirations. After years in hospitality, I felt a compelling shift towards what truly resonated with me: mentoring and coaching others to discover and pursue their passions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransitioning into coaching felt like a natural progression of my lifelong role as a mentor to those close to me. I found immense fulfillment in empowering individuals to achieve their dreams and transform their lives. There's an indescribable joy in witnessing others reach their goals and lead fulfilling lives—it's a privilege I cherish deeply.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToday, as a dedicated coach, I bring a wealth of diverse experiences and a genuine passion for helping others navigate their own journeys of growth and self-discovery.

Growing up with eczema, she learned early on about the discomfort caused by synthetic lotions and medicated treatments. As she transitioned into adulthood, her struggles continued, as she dealt with persistent headaches, dry skin, allergies, and the heightened anxiety of a demanding career in child protection. These hardships ignited in Sabrina a deep desire to find effective solutions to address her skin issues and promote overall well-being.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe pivotal moment in her life came during her pregnancy when she recognized the need to take control of her health. Determined to seek better alternatives, she immersed herself in research about essential oils, discovering their powerful potential. By blending these oils with natural ingredients like shea butter and carrier oils, Sabrina developed a formula that was not only effective but also offered a unique and experiential sensory journey for each user. This innovative approach captured the attention of those around her, leading to a growing interest in her creations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 2015, Sabrina founded SJC Body Love, a skincare line that reflects her passion for quality and natural ingredients. Initial struggles with individual product sales, such as hand sanitizer and lip balm, led her to combine products into attractive packages. This strategic shift resulted in sold-out events and solidified her commitment to providing value.

Monson, a breast cancer survivor and passionate entrepreneur dedicated to innovative hair tools. Her journey began 15 years ago when she transitioned from permanent waves to coloring her hair. In her quest to recreate her wavy hair-style, Cherie discovered a volumizing diffuser attachment that added volume to her thin, straight hair. However, she struggled to replicate the look while traveling without lugging around her heavy hair dryer and clunky diffuser. This challenge sparked the idea: “How can I replicate the results of a diffuser without the hassle?”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter ten years of perfecting a travel-friendly volumizing diffuser hairbrush, Cherie applied for a patent. Inheriting her late father's inventive spirit, she knew it was time to bring her creation to life. Then, a surprising breast cancer diagnosis in 2020 became a turning point. Determined not to be a victim, Cherie fought through radiation and a weakened immune system with resilience. This journey fueled her determination to launch CLM CREATIONS and manufacture her patented hairbrush.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDuring her recovery, Cherie faced hair thinning and breakage, which led her to discover that her new hairbrush could detangle gently and minimize further damage while adding volume.

VEEMAH offers accessible, compassionate, culturally responsive, and evidence-based mental health services to individuals and families. VEEMAH specializes in providing culturally specific treatment to BIPOC clients, including African immigrants and refugee populations. According to the Minnesota Department of Health, 88 percent of its mental health workforce is white, and less than 3 percent is Black. This positions VEEMAH, co-owned by Black immigrants from Africa, to help alleviate the acute needs by providing culturally responsive mental health services for immigrants and people of color. This presents both an opportunity and a challenge. Therefore, in addition to providing mental health services to BIPOC clients, VEEMAH is also intentional in offering training to students, particularly BIPOC students, to confront the critical shortage of providers of color.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVEEMAH co-owners are married and University of Minnesota alumni.
