My story
Many forms. One purpose.
Misha’s work may take many forms, but it all comes from the same purpose: helping people find resilience, meaning, connection and purpose in the middle of life’s next chapter.
Storytelling
She received a Southeastern Emmy for Best Documentary for Burning Questions, which she co-wrote, directed, voiced and appeared in to honor her father’s childhood experience in the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. The deeply personal film was broadcast nationally on PBS.
Loss & rebuilding
Life rarely unfolds exactly as we imagined. Some seasons change us. Some call us forward. And some invite us to decide what matters most now. Misha’s own experience of loss became part of the work she would go on to do.
Widow Strong & grief resilience
As Founder of Widow Strong, Misha has developed grief resilience programming, facilitated widow groups, created resources, led workshops and partnered with churches and community organizations.
Leadership & facilitation
She serves as the Iron Forums Buckhead Group Facilitator, helping create a trusted forum for women business and nonprofit leaders, and co-leads a Widow Connect Group at Passion City Church in Buckhead.
Community & purpose
Today, Misha brings communication, faith, resilience and service into one continuing body of work—speaking, coaching, facilitating and consulting—that helps people move forward.
