Why Is Mental Illness Still So Stigmatized?
As Mental Health Awareness Month comes to an end, I’ve found myself reflecting on something that has bothered me for years: Why is there still so much stigma…
“The healing journey: narrated through ink and paper.”
Welcome.
Michelle Murray, known to those closest to her as “Shell,” is a combat veteran, indie author, and blogger dedicated to healing, faith, and mental wellness.
After serving in the Army and returning from Afghanistan, Michelle faced experiences that reshaped her life. Instead of allowing them to define her, she chose to heal—and that decision became the foundation of her purpose.
During the pandemic, she leaned fully into her creativity and rediscovered her voice through writing. What started as a personal outlet became a calling.
Today, Michelle is not only a writer but a creative at heart—a Jill of all trades who loves to write, paint, and build with her hands. Through her books and her blog, Her Healing Haven, she creates space for women to feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journeys.
Her mission is simple: to remind every woman that healing is possible, your story matters, and there is strength in choosing yourself.
