Michelle’s Story
In this compelling episode, Michelle Martinez opens up about the significant hurdles she faced as she sought to rebuild her life in recovery. After spending 15 years in the adult entertainment industry, she found herself judged and stigmatized by society, particularly when looking for employment. Michelle vividly describes the anxiety of fearing rejection and the potential loss of her first job after leaving her former profession (3:34, 9:00). Despite her hard work and determination to climb the corporate ladder, she encountered systemic discrimination, such as being offered a lower salary compared to her male counterparts (11:30) and facing harassment from colleagues (11:45). However, the turning point came when she decided to stand up for herself, confronting her boss and claiming respect for herself (13:37, 15:10). Through her journey, Michelle emphasizes the importance of self-respect and how recovery helped her navigate these tough challenges. Her story highlights the profound transformation that comes with embracing one’s past while empowering others to find their strength. Tune in to witness Michelle’s inspiring journey and the lessons she learned along the way.
