WHEN: Thursday, August 14, 2025 – 11:30AM-1:00PM CST

Michelle Charbonnier is a therapist, content creator, and Executive Director of the Missouri Network for Opiate Reform and Recovery (MoNetwork). With over nine years of experience holding space for individuals in recovery, Michelle brings a compassionate, and holistic approach to guiding others toward healing and personal transformation.

As a partner at Sovereign Collective LLC, she collaborates to create programs focused on self-empowerment, resilience, and value-driven living. She also founded Thriving Beyond Recovery, a empowerment program designed to help individuals align their core values with their actions, fostering self-awareness and inner peace.

Michelle’s journey in recovery, combined with her professional expertise, makes her a dynamic and inspiring speaker. Her work emphasizes harm reduction, integrity, and resilience—principles which resonate deeply with women seeking empowerment and growth.

Recovery isn’t just about overcoming; it’s about transforming. In this empowering session, Michelle Charbonnier will challenge traditional notions of recovery, inviting women to redefine it as a journey toward authentic living, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her own recovery journey and professional experience as a therapist, Michelle will explore the core values that shape our paths and guide us toward wholeness.

This session will create a space for connection, reflection, and empowerment—equipping women with the mindset and tools to thrive beyond adversity. Come ready to redefine recovery and embrace a future grounded in authenticity and strength.

Presentation takeaways:

Through heartfelt storytelling, practical strategies, and interactive reflection, participants will:

Discover how aligning actions with core values fosters inner peace and purpose.

Learn tools for navigating challenges with integrity and self-awareness.

Explore how harm reduction principles and personal accountability intersect to create sustainable growth
