HEY FRIEND!

NICE TO MEET YOU

I'm Michelle

Here's a glimpse into my life

A Tough Beginning

I was born into a whirlwind of challenges. My mom had me when she was just 18, and by the time I was 9 months old, she was raising me alone.

We didn’t have much growing up, but my mom taught me resilience in the most beautiful way. I remember asking her, “Why don’t we have any furniture?” She smiled and said, “Where would we dance?” That moment shaped me—it wasn’t about what we didn’t have, it was about what we made of what we did have.

We lived in the hood, and as one of the few white girls in my middle school, I faced bullying and violence. But every tough moment made me stronger, and my mother’s love was my rock. Even with all the chaos around us, I learned early on that no matter how difficult life gets, we always have a choice—to be a victim or a victor. I chose to be a victor.

My Boys, My Strength: The Heart of a Single Mom’s Journey

Becoming a single mom when my boys were just 1 and 3 wasn’t something I ever imagined, but it’s shaped me in ways I never expected. My youngest son has dyslexia and struggles with anxiety, which meant extra challenges, but also deep moments of connection as we worked through it together.

Being both mom and dad has meant making sacrifices, but it’s also given me a strength I never knew I had. I’ve had to be the one cheering them on at games, helping with homework, and providing the emotional support they need. There are moments of exhaustion where I’ve felt like I wasn’t enough, but then I’d see the love in their eyes, the way they lean on me, and it reminds me that I’m doing the most important job in the world.

My boys have taught me more about resilience than any business challenge ever could. They’ve shown me that no matter how hard life gets, there’s always something to be grateful for. We’ve had our ups and downs, but at the end of the day, we’re a team. They’re not just my "why" for everything I do; they’re my greatest joy, my greatest pride, and the reason I know I’ll never stop fighting for the life we deserve.

Every Setback, A Comeback: How I Turned Failures Into My Greatest Wins

After high school, I went to college and eventually law school, like everyone told me to do. But interning for attorneys who were miserable in their jobs made me question if this was the life I wanted. They were successful but overworked, unhappy, and missing out on their families. I didn’t want that for myself, especially as someone deeply passionate about health and fitness. At 23, I dropped out of law school, much to the surprise of those around me. At the time, I was waitressing and bartending to make ends meet, $80,000 in debt and unsure of my future. That’s when Network Marketing came into my life.

I was skeptical at first, thinking it was just a way to make a little extra money, but I quickly fell in love with the business model. My first year, I earned over $102,000, which was more than I could have ever dreamed. But the road wasn’t always smooth. I’ve had to start from scratch five different times. Two of my companies were shut down by the FTC after I built them into six-figure businesses, and others simply went out of business. Each time, I had to pick myself back up.

Fueled by Faith: How Mindset and Belief Shaped My Success

What kept me going through it all was my mindset and faith. I believe that success is a product of how we think. I learned this from one of my greatest mentors, Bob Proctor, who helped me understand that our thoughts create our reality. I’ve spent the last 28 years studying mindset and personal development, and one of the most powerful lessons I’ve learned is that our thoughts lead to our feelings, which drive our actions, and ultimately determine our results. If you don’t like the results you’re seeing in your life, you need to go back and change your thoughts.

Another key belief I live by is the idea of personal responsibility. You have to own your life, no matter what challenges you face. Complaining and blaming others won’t get you anywhere. I tell people all the time, you can either be a victim or a victor—so cut up your victim card. When you stop seeing yourself as a victim of your circumstances, everything changes. This business, like life, isn’t about waiting for the perfect moment or opportunity. It’s about doing what you can with what you have and believing that you are capable of more.
