WELCOME, YOU'RE HERE FOR A REASON
My name is April Michelle, and this space was created for women who are ready to stop surviving and start embracing who they truly are. I am an author, educator, and advocate for women reclaiming their self-worth, voice, and purpose after seasons of pain, silence, and self-doubt.
For years, I learned how to endure—how to make myself smaller, quieter, and more acceptable for the comfort of others. Like many women, I mistook strength for suffering in silence and loyalty for self-sacrifice. This website, and the work behind it, was born from the moment I chose to stop abandoning myself and start healing honestly.
Through my book Embracing Me, guided workbooks, blog posts, and group resources, I share practical tools, faith-centered encouragement, and real conversations around women empowerment, self-worth, healing, and inspiration. This is not about perfection or quick fixes. It’s about truth, courage, and the daily practice of choosing yourself.
This space exists to remind you:
You are not broken
You are not behind
You are worthy of love, peace, and fulfillment right now
Whether you’re here to read, reflect, heal, or lead other women, you belong here. My hope is that everything you find on this site helps you reconnect with your strength, honor your story, and move forward with clarity and confidence.
This is more than a website.
It’s a return to yourself.
Welcome to Embracing Me.
