The Story Behind the Talks

Shortness of breath, check. Dehydration, probably. Two pink crutches. 26 miles. 40,000 stone stairs.

Michelle Kuei hiked 26 miles of the Inca Trail with a Physical Disability. Coach, Author, and Motivational Speaker

At age 11, Michelle was permanently disabled in a car accident that froze her growth at 4’ 4” and left her needing crutches to walk.

By her own admission, she wasn’t just physically small – she used to live her life emotionally small. The hardest part of living with a visible disability was the shame and unworthiness she carried in her heart and mind.

So she embarked on what began as just a physical fitness journey – and evolved into a life-transformation journey when she decided to join her gym mates in their quest to climb Machu Picchu in Peru.

She hiked up the 26 miles of ascending trail 8-10 hours a day. She had to bandage her wrists so they wouldn’t break as they took a load of her body weight with every step on her crutches.

She ultimately ascended the peak … crawling on her hands and knees at the end, to the cheers of those in her party who had been strangers at the outset of the journey.

When she came home, she was changed forever.

“Her effervescent inspiration is contagious.”

Michelle radiates joy and dispenses wisdom. She captivates audiences with personal stories and actionable takeaways about transforming setbacks into victories, challenges into opportunities, and doubts into hope.
— GARY SCHNEEBERGER, PRESIDENT & CHIEF LEONINE OFFICER
"Michelle is a firecracker!"

Such a love-for-life, spirited young woman. You can't help to smile when you are talking to her.
She has an energy to make any podcast an enjoyable one. My guests still comment on her episode. Michelle came to me as a guest and has become someone I am proud to call my friend.
I would recommend Michelle to any podcaster. You will not be disappointed.
— John Butler, The Butler's Babble Podcast
