What if your life changed in a single moment and you had to learn how to become yourself all over again?

In this powerful episode 36 of The Influence Exchange, J.V. sits down with author, speaker, and trauma survivor Shannon Michelle for one of the most emotional and inspiring conversations on the podcast so far.

After a devastating motorcycle accident on Pacific Coast Highway, Shannon was left in a coma for months with severe brain trauma and life-changing injuries. Doctors weren’t sure if she would ever fully recover. During her healing journey, she had to relearn how to walk, remember, and rebuild her life step by step.

But Shannon’s story doesn’t stop there.

From surviving a traumatic brain injury to later battling breast cancer, Shannon shares how faith, resilience, self-kindness, and staying present helped her keep moving forward, even through the darkest moments.

In this episode, we talk about:

Surviving a near-fatal motorcycle accident

Recovering from traumatic brain injury and memory loss

Learning how to rebuild your identity after trauma

The importance of staying present during difficult seasons

Her “PATCHwork” method for healing and self-awareness

Turning pain into purpose

Her book Step Into Your Miracle

Why kindness to yourself matters more than perfection

This conversation is raw, emotional, honest, and deeply human.

If you’ve ever struggled with trauma, loss, anxiety, healing, or trying to find yourself again after life changes unexpectedly, this episode will stay with you.
