In today’s episode Andy and Jonas sat down with Michelle Steinke-Baumgard. As an author, speaker, fitness coach, mother, and remarried widow, Michelle is on a mission to help people live a full, fit, and intentional life beyond life’s hardest moments.
After losing her husband Mitch in 2009, Michelle used exercise to work through her grief and found it to be so powerful that she eventually quit her corporate job and become a full-time fitness coach. Since then, Michelle went on to write the quintessential book on healing through exercise, Healthy Healing: A Guide to Working Out Grief.
As part of her work, Michelle also leads groups on adventures that test and push people outside their comfort zone, expanding their perspective of the world and of themselves, while also helping them to truly live life to the fullest.
Michelle also gives back to the community in a big way, through her nonprofit, Live the List. This organization helps widows and widowers complete bucket list dreams to honor their late spouse while also moving boldly into their future.
