    Happy To Offend You

    Just because you're offended by something doesn't mean it's the end of the world. In fact, if you can discover why someone is NOT offended by the things that you ARE offended by you can actually create peace of mind, deeper connections with people, and a wider connection with the world as a whole. In this show, Michelle interviews people who get that and want to help you to get them. Some people offend others just by existing, and some of us have to try really hard at it. Either way, we are Happy to Offend You and we look forward to having you join us for some hilarious and serious conversations.

    Self-Advocacy to Advance your Career and Life - Natalie Serebrennik

    Self-Advocacy to Advance your Career and Life - Natalie Serebrennik

    Do you speak up for yourself?

    In this episode of the Happy to Offend You Podcast I interviewed Natalie Serebrennik. She is the Founder of  Natalie Serebrennik Coaching & Consulting.  About halfway into her 16+ year career on the trading floor of a leading Canadian bank, she had an eye-opening moment. She realized that doing great work and being well-liked by her boss weren't enough to advance. Self-advocacy was the missing piece. That realization changed everything. She crafted a new strategy, harnessing the power of using her voice. Today, she's here to share her self-advocacy journey and explain why she left the corporate world to follow her new passion. 

    Discover why being offensive might just be your ticket to success and how to do it with grace. Press play and prepare to be empowered!

    Mental Health Challenges - Shulamit Ber Levtov

    Mental Health Challenges - Shulamit Ber Levtov

    Wondering what makes business owners vulnerable to mental health challenges and how to mitigate these risks?

    In this episode of Happy to Offend You Podcast I interviewed Shulamit Ber Levtov. She is a speaker and an educator. She educates business owners and organizations about the entrepreneurial mental health crisis through keynote speaking and workshops. Through her talks, she helps entrepreneurs understand the unique mental health challenges facing them as business owners and gives them strategies to make mental health a priority. Mental health risks are inherent in entrepreneurship, and many business owners are also predisposed to mental health challenges. All of this has been documented by research conducted in the US, UK and Canada. Like all the risks in business, we need to identify and plan for them, and owner/founder mental health is no different. In this episode, you'll learn why business ownership can be so hard on your mental and emotional wellbeing, and how to prevent and/or mitigate the inevitable mental health challenges that arise.
