After their abusive relationship ended, she was distraught, sleeping on her sister’s couch and refusing to eat . . . until a crazy idea popped into her head.With just a high school diploma, zero business experience and very little money, she started a courier company in her parents’ laundry room. Dressed in a suit and heels, she spent her days delivering packages all over Boston, or cold-calling as the laundry tumbled beside her. While she was building her business, she was also rebuilding herself. Today, Michelle is a successful entrepreneur and powerful female CEO in a male-dominated industry. The small company she built is now Xpressman Trucking & Courier, a multi-million-dollar venture with operations from coast to coast.High Heels in the Laundry Room is a raw look at how what nearly breaks us can make us stronger.
