Michelle Connery is a burnout recovery coach and founder of Michelle Connery Coaching. Prior to starting her business, she was a successful Corporate Accountant with over 20+ years of experience. Like a lot of Accountants, she spent the majority of those years prioritizing her career over her mental and physical health.
