Episode Summary

“Courage is living with the heart and not from the head,” shares Michèle Sennesael in this soul-stirring conversation about the journey back to our authentic selves. As a photographer who ironically feared being seen, Michelle’s story challenges us to question whose lens we’re viewing ourselves through. Michèle takes us through her remarkable journey from photo editor at Belgium’s largest newspaper to teaching photography to street children in Nicaragua, where she discovered not poverty but profound love, faith, and courage. Her unexpected deportation as a journalist became the catalyst for eliminating possessions and moving to New York, eventually documenting home births and working with indigenous midwives in Guatemala. These experiences weren’t random adventures but a sacred pilgrimage back to herself—healing childhood wounds, family trauma, and learning to speak her truth.
