Reclaiming Life: Maureen Michele on Our Lives with Shannon Fisher

Cultural Controversy and Our Lives with Shannon Fisher

Physician Maureen Michele was faced with a medical challenge from an unexpected perspective: that of a parent. When her daughter received two different life-altering diagnoses, Maureen was already managing a full plate of career, household, and family responsibilities. Managing her daughter’s chronic serious illnesses tested her mettle in ways she could not have imagined, and the journey strengthened her fortitude in every area of life.

Maureen’s success in managing this journey has added another title to her resume: Life Coach. Maureen now coaches parents of children with serious chronic illnesses, and she has written a book to help them learn to manage the stress and logistics of this parenting challenge. Reclaiming Life: A Guide for Parents of Chronically Ill Children weaves themes of identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts with specific suggestions on how to approach family caretaking responsibilities and goal-setting in general. She talks with Shannon Fisher about the helpful tips and tricks in the book that can turn an overwhelmed caretaker into a nearly-unshakable boss.
