Behind My Sister-in-Law’s Smile

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Disclaimer: This episode contains some swearing — it’s a raw, emotional conversation and Michele speaks from the heart.

On social media, Michele Vidal’s life can look picture-perfect — but behind the photos is a story of resilience few people know.

I sit down with my sister-in-law — my “Seester” — for a raw conversation about heartbreak, rebuilding, and the strength that emerges when life doesn’t go as planned.

After a fairytale marriage unraveled due to infidelity, Michele faced the reality of starting over as a single mother. Just as she found love again, another unimaginable challenge arrived: her young child’s cancer diagnosis. Along the way, she also endured the loss of her beloved dog — a steady source of comfort through life’s toughest seasons.

Through every setback, Michele discovered a resilience she never knew she had.

This is a powerful conversation about emotional survival, motherhood, healing, and what it truly means to begin again.
