Never Ever Give Up Hope

Never Ever Give Up Hope shares stories of everyday people who refused to give up hope in the middle of insurmountable circumstances; people who have transformed their lives and want to give you their secrets of success.  Their message is one of hope, encouragement, laughter and inspiration.


My guests are ordinary people who have experienced the extraordinary.  People who didn't quit. People who were told they would never amount to anything.  People who were told that they were dying and there were no answers to their health issues.  I have spoken with several people who believed the only answer was to take their own life and yet.......

Here they are!  Survivors!  Conquerors!  Victors!

Paying the Price for Fame and Living to Tell the Tale

Jan 27, 2016

Michelle Christoffels, an author of No Glory For Me, was Australia's first registered, professional, female boxer, dual UNDEFEATED Victorian Champion and Australian Champion Kickboxer.  


But there was a time in Michelle's life when she had a serious downfall, spending time in psychiatric care and a criminal conviction.  


She went from street gangs to making national headlines -- she paid the price for fame!


Just before her first professional match, she was drugged/raped by her manager and started her life on a downward spiral.





Telling her story in this interview, she shares from her heart in a way that will keep you captivated.  She was considered Australia's toughest woman (and also a cop) yet was falling apart on the inside in the battle of her life/career.  As you listen you will realize that someone out there can HELP you, has felt your pain and can offer support uniquely and honestly.


Her memoir, No Glory For Me, starts with a courtroom drama -- you don't want to miss this compelling story.


Listen to this woman's incredible plight from fame to devastation and finally....success.
