Badass Corazon Michelle Holdt shares a memoir of growing up with blind parents. Both her younger brother, and later her father, battled and succumbed to cancer. In response to their illnesses and deaths, Michelle overcompensated in relationships and work over a span of thirty-five years, trying to numb the empty space in her heart. Falling onto her knees, hitting the depths of "bottom," she realized the old ways of being never worked. Determined to heal, Michelle gravitated to a life immersed in the art of personal transformation. A journey to self-love. "Radiance" signifies the discovery of her Inner Goddess, her light, her joy, LOVE itself. Stories of struggle intertwined with resiliency, a strong commitment and dedication to healing, combined with constant mindfulness and self-awareness she began to name and claim the old stories when they came up. She chose self-compassion and creatively "built" a new narrative. Now she lives that narrative. She learned to lead with her light! Her light is as wide as the sky. It is pure and sweet. When you open the door to your heart and truly love both your struggles and your joys - it is exquisite.
