In this episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with Pamela Michaux, author of Mundele Diaries. Pamela shares her courageous journey from Congo to Belgium, where she confronted racism, identity struggles, and years of abuse. Her story is one of resilience—transforming pain into power, silence into voice, and survival into a declaration of self-worth. Listeners will gain insights on healing, forgiveness, and why reclaiming your voice is the ultimate act of self-respect. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about finding purpose in hardship, breaking free from cycles of silence, and embracing the scars that remind us we survived.

Pamela Michaux is the author of Mundele Diaries, a memoir exploring her journey through trauma, cultural displacement, and resilience. Drawing from her Congolese and Belgian roots, Pamela shares how she turned adversity into empowerment. She is passionate about helping others find their inner voice and guiding survivors to set boundaries, reclaim power, and move toward healing.

• Survival often begins with protecting others, but healing requires reclaiming yourself.

• Strength built in crisis can make vulnerability and softness harder later—but also more powerful when embraced.

• Identity struggles are real for mixed-race children, often “too much” in one place and “not enough” in another.

• Abuse does not define your worth—setting boundaries and trusting your inner voice are essential steps toward freedom.

• Scars are reminders of survival; healing is about acceptance, not erasure.

• Forgiveness is not about freeing the abuser—it’s about freeing yourself and accepting your truth.

• Phobia, anxiety, and panic are different but connected—don’t compare your pain with others; honor your own tolerance.

• Change begins within; surround yourself with people who uplift you and protect your light.

• Your story can be a mirror for others—sharing it is an act of transformation, not exposure.

• If your light disturbs others, let them wear shades—never dim your shine for someone else.
