MY STORY
A little bit about myself… I’m Michelle Buonfiglio, a proud Virgo born in September with a deep passion for empowering women to reach their full potential. The picturesque Hudson Valley in New York is my home, where I draw inspiration from the natural beauty around me.
Growing up, my family was a blend of large gatherings on my dad's side and intimate moments with my mom's family. When my parents divorced during my teenage years, I found solace in my grandmother's loving care, with her amazing meals and unwavering support.
After high school, I attended community college, torn between nursing and education. My journey eventually took me to Florida with limited funds, where I worked nights as a nursing assistant and volunteered in elementary schools during the day. Watching Freedom Writers fueled my desire to teach and make a difference.
Returning to New York and moving in with my dad at 29 marked a turning point. That's when I met my husband, Dave, and decided to enroll in an accelerated adult education program. Suze Orman's words, "College debt is good debt," encouraged me to pursue my dream despite the cost. I balanced substitute teaching, serving, and bartending while working toward my master's in education.
After feeling alone for years, I finally found sobriety in 2020 with the help of numerous support communities. Despite a brief slip during a Mediterranean cruise, followed by a 10-month struggle with moderation, I recommitted to sobriety. This experience inspired me to help others in similar situations. Within two months, I completed a half marathon, launched my coaching business, and experienced profound personal growth culminating in marrying my soulmate and forging deeper bonds with my loved ones. Sobriety, I've discovered, is the key to unlocking life's greatest joys, and I'm here to show others they can achieve it too.
My nine-year battle with alcohol taught me resilience, and exploring sobriety transformed my life for the better. I take a discreet, confidential, and non-judgmental approach to helping others find their own path to sobriety, sharing my story to let others know they're not alone.
When I'm not teaching middle schoolers, you can find me practicing hot yoga, training for a running race, hiking with my hub in the Catskills, enjoying fabulous coffee drinks or mocktails, hosting sober events, and playing chase with my nieces and nephews.
I’m here for you… Let's embark on this journey together!
