Michelle works to empower people toward a bigger version of themselves: Someone who can go out into the world with more energy, focus, kindness and confidence.  When people feel better about themselves - physically, mentally and emotionally, they'll hopefully use those powers for good - for themselves, their families, and the world around them. I have personally witnessed Michelle using her powers for good and it’s inspiring. Ready to talk about regaining focus and recharging our lives during these crazy times? Michelle is in the house!
