In this powerful episode of Prevailing Through Pain, host Karen Cherry Brown sits down with Michele Gomez Lafal — nurse, entrepreneur, and founder of Absolute Allied Health Academy.
Michele opens up about her childhood in Compton, growing up with parents battling addiction, and how those early struggles shaped her resilience. She shares her experience as a young mother facing misdiagnosis, domestic violence, and financial hardship — and how those painful seasons became the foundation for her career in nursing and, ultimately, her decision to build her own health academy.
Her story is one of perseverance, faith, and purpose. From working at a fish market as a teenager to creating her own “seat at the table” in healthcare education, Michele proves that no season of pain is wasted.
