Michele Johnston was raised within the confines of a strict religious ideology that delineated a clear image of the perfect wife, mother, and woman. Influenced by her mentors, teachers, and above all, her mother, Michele formed a vision of herself as the ideal housewife, devoted solely to family and homemaking. This traditional path was something she eagerly anticipated and considered her ultimate purpose in life.
However, as she reached the age of 18, Michele began to break away from these rigid expectations. In hindsight, she recognizes this period of rebellion as the first time she truly connected with her own identity, distinct from the roles she had been conditioned to fulfill. Through this pivotal experience, Michele embarked on a journey of self-discovery, uncovering who she really was beyond the expectations placed upon her.
