Loading player...
Illness. Trauma. Self-doubt. Michelle Chetty faced it all and turned it into purpose.
Growing up, Michelle faced major challenges early on. She was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of eight and survived a serious car accident just a year later.
But Michelle refused to be defined by her circumstances. Instead, she set out to find purpose, a journey that would lead her to establish Epic Youth Matters, an organisation focused on empowering young people and tackling gender-based violence.
Her commitment to helping others is deeply personal, rooted in her own struggles with health and self-image. She has since turned those experiences into a powerful drive to create change.
Michelle’s work has touched countless lives, reminding us that true wealth isn’t measured in possessions but in the impact we leave behind.
In this conversation, she reflects on how life’s setbacks can become stepping stones to something greater. Her story is a moving reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a path to meaning, love, and fulfilment - a true comeback.
