This week’s very special guest is Michelle Lepp, a fully accredited NASM personal trainer and 500 hour yoga instructor with an emphasis in yoga therapeutics whose passion is helping others improve their physical and mental health. Michelle is also a cancer survivor, and today she shares her inspiring phoenix tale of how she was faced with her cancer diagnosis just weeks into her marriage, was unwilling to go down with her illness, and ultimately found the strength to become the powerful mother and yoga therapist she is today.

Quotes:
“You had to read through like all 87 million things that could possibly go wrong in your body.”
“All I kept thinking is ‘ Oh my God, his mom just passed away a couple of years ago, and now his wife of two weeks has cancer.’ ”
“Something about that moment was just like, the light shining on me like, 'Wait a minute, I am no longer a cancer patient, I can walk away from this, and made me be able to look back and acknowledge the experience and acknowledge, yes, there was definitely a chance of a different outcome.”
“I am not my lymphoma and I can grow and do something with that experience.”
“During this pregnancy, I had moments of ‘What if I'm not here forever for the two of them?’ ”
“Find something in your life that makes you feel like 'you' or 'normal', and find a way to continue to incorporate that into your daily, weekly, monthly routine.”
