Welcome to the Shaline Show. Shaline is a New York Times best-selling author, celebrity fitness trainer, and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Hey there, welcome to this edition of the Shaline Show. Today you're really in for a treat. You're gonna love this interview because it's going to inspire you.

I want to tell you about Michelle Sult, but if I do, I think the interview would be less interesting. So, here's what I want you to know about her.

Her story is going to inspire you to be better. Her story is one of being at your absolute worst and creating a vision and a plan to be your best.

And when I say at your absolute worst, I mean, she was at rock bottom. She was newly divorced and laying in a hospital bed broken into pieces.

And being told that her life would never be the same. Kind of interesting how I discovered Michelle. I was looking on Instagram one day and I was on, you know, the Discover page. I think that's what you call it now.

And there was this, you know, image of this really confident woman standing on a stage which looked like a fitness competition. So I clicked on it because I was inspired by her physique. And then I read her story. And that's where the real inspiration began.

You are going to love this story.

Michelle, thank you so much for being a guest today on the Shalene show. How are you?

Great. How are you?

I'm good. One thing I know about you already is you don't give up.

No, I don't.

As with is always the problem with technology is it can be your best friend and it can be like such a nightmare. And we had like major obstacles trying to connect today. But neither of us gave up. Did we?

No, and we're here right now chatting. So that's right.

So let's start with that. You know, this is your personality. Like I'm not giving up. I'm going to persevere. I'm going to keep trying.

Has that always been your style?

No, not really. Yes, I was a tough kid and I wouldn't let my trials and tribulations hold me down. But I also played the victim card and often would blame everything else on everyone else.

Really? Yeah, after my accident that changed though, I woke up and realized that I couldn't take my second chance for granted. And I think that created a fire in me that is still burning today.

Michelle, for those people who aren't familiar with your story, maybe haven't seen your TED talk. Can you tell us about what happened in June of 2011?

Sure. So it was just a normal day out riding my motorcycle with a couple friends. We were going up this.

Okay, let's stop right there at that. Yeah. In and of itself isn't normal.

Like that's super bad ass. I love that. So what kind of a bike did you have? Let's talk motorcycles for a second.
