S5 E8: Speak Louder with Michelle Young: educator, activist, and so much more than a bachelor nation contestant

The View In Your Mirror

To most of the world, Michelle Young was a contestant on the Bachelor and Bachelorette; but, that was just a snapshot of who this incredible woman, educator, activist, public speaker, and friend really is. In this episode, we dig deeper. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in elementary education from Bradley University in 2015, Michelle began her career teaching in Minnesota. We discuss the transition from Division I college athletics to the non-athletic working world of educating others. We discuss family life and the role her parents have played in her life and rise to the public eye. We glimpse into what it was like to be on the Bachelor and Bachelorette from the clothes, to the travel, to the girl/boy drama and how this experience impacted her future to date. We learn how Michelle “checks herself” before starting her day and what exactly she is doing while stepping away from the 5th grade teacher role this year.

Through empathy and experience, Michelle speaks on mental health, overcoming anxiety, identity, and practicing self-love. She is a passionate advocate for children and youth, striving to be a positive influence. We hope you enjoy our conversation as much as we did: there is a lesson, take-away, and reflection for everyone.
