In a world that constantly bombards us with messages about who we should be, it’s easy to lose sight of the unique tapestry of experiences, skills, and strengths that define our individuality. This latest Growing Social Now with Barbara Rozgonyi podcast episode with Michelle Mckown-Campbell serves as a powerful reminder of the inherent magnificence within each of us and offers a guide to not just discovering but fully embracing and expressing our awesomeness.
The episode dives into the AWESOME framework, an acronym that stands for Assess, Wake up, Engage, Strengthen, Optimize, Me, and Inspired. Michelle Mckown-Campbell, through this framework, leads listeners on a journey of self-discovery that encourages reflection on personal values, strengths, and experiences. This isn’t just a feel-good exercise; it’s a call to action for anyone feeling stifled by societal expectations or their own limiting beliefs.
Michelle’s approach, enriched by her extensive background in HR and coaching, brings to light the common disconnect people experience between their true identity and how they present themselves to the world. This disconnect can lead to a host of issues, from reduced confidence to mental health challenges. The podcast encourages listeners to engage in creative exercises like building an ‘awesome tree’ – a metaphorical representation of one’s growth, roots, and the ever-expanding reach of one’s capabilities.

This message resonates deeply in a society that often equates worth with perfection. By sharing transformative tales and practical advice, Michelle helps listeners navigate the societal pressures that can lead to playing it small and instead, nudges them towards dreaming bigger and owning their narratives.
The anecdotes and personal stories shared in the episode underscore the profound impact that acknowledging and embracing one’s awesomeness can have. Whether it’s a client rediscovering forgotten skills or a young person on the autism spectrum recognizing their abilities, these stories are testaments to the transformative power of positive self-perception and the confidence that follows.
This podcast episode is not just about listening; it’s about interaction and application. It prompts listeners to reflect on their own lives, to identify their strengths, and to take actionable steps towards a more authentic and fulfilling existence.

As we conclude this episode, it becomes clear that the journey of self-appreciation is not a destination but a continuous process of growth and evolution.
