As a baby, Michaela was diagnosed with legal blindness. With the support of her parents and learning to ask for help in many ways, she was able to graduate from college and graduate school and become the author she is today.
At the age of 26, Michaela was divorced, and at age 38 unexpectedly lost her husband. Through it all, Michaela strives to help others on their journey to inspire and help them thrive.
