Small Changes Big Shifts With Dr. Michelle Robin

Today I have created a special Small Changes Big Shifts episode for you. On this day, three days before my 50th birthday, 9-months after this accident I wanted to share the lessons I have learned on this healing journey with you.

Today I am talking with Lisa Grefe. Lisa is the founder of Deliver Delight. She understands that sometimes flowers just don’t cut it. Deliver Delight was born out of a small and simple idea from her own experience healing and recovering from brain surgery. Diagnosed with Chiari Malformation and Syringomyelia, a rare neurological condition, brain surgery was her only option to live a better quality of life. Overtime, the small gifts, notes, and support meant the world to her and have inspired her first product, Deliver Delight. 

Today on Small Changes Big Shifts I am speaking with change agent Dr. Laura Eickman. Eickman is a psychologist and the founder of Rebel. Rebel is an organization that is redefining beauty for every body. REbeL is a student-driven, peer education program designed to address body image issues and disordered eating. In five years, REbeL has taught more than 560 students to reject conformity and to love their bodies. That is pretty amazing.
