Michelle is living with stage four EHE—epithelioid hemangioendothelioma. But her story isn’t about dying. It’s about living out loud.

In this emotional, deeply honest video, Michelle shares how she talks to her children about her terminal diagnosis—what she tells them, what she holds back, and why honesty became the heart of her parenting.

She opens up about:

• Having tough conversations with kids at different ages

• How other children's experiences shaped her parenting choices

• Why movement, cold plunges, and laughter are part of her treatment

• The role her late son Gabriel plays in helping her children understand death with peace

This video isn’t just for parents or patients. It’s for anyone trying to live truthfully, even when life gets unbearably hard. Michelle’s story is a reminder that even when you don’t get to choose the hand you’re dealt, you can still choose how you play it.

In this episode of JUST LIVE, we take you inside an unforgettable journey to New York City as Michelle and Ty take on HYROX NYC 2025—together.

This wasn’t just about fitness. It was about purpose, presence, and a promise Michelle made to herself: to keep living fully. From training with HYROX world champion Meg Jacoby to a surprise shopping spree at the PUMA Flagship store—where Michelle’s photos were displayed on massive in-store screens—every moment was surreal.

We cover it all:

The shakeout run through NYC

Training and last-minute prep with Meg Jacoby

Behind-the-scenes at the HYROX venue

PUMA celebrating Michelle & her story

And finally… completing HYROX as a couple

This is more than a race recap—it’s a story about what it means to live with intention, take ownership of your life, and show up even when it’s hard.

Michelle didn’t check HYROX off a bucket list—she added it to her living list and saw it through.

Subscribe, listen, and be reminded of what’s possible when you just live.

In this episode, Michelle sits down with her oncology naturopath, Dr. Mark Fontes, for an intimate conversation about integrative cancer care.

Dr. Fontes opens up about his unique approach to supporting cancer patients, walking us through his compassionate process and the three foundational pillars he focuses on with every patient: sleep optimization, stress management, and purposeful exercise.

What makes this conversation so valuable is Dr. Fontes' genuine empathy and his ability to offer hope without false promises. Whether you're navigating cancer, chronic illness, or simply want to understand how to support your body's healing processes, this conversation provides practical and applicable insights, throughout.

Michelle and Dr. Fontes explore both her personal journey and broader educational topics, creating a relaxed yet informative discussion that our community of fighters, survivors, and supporters will find both encouraging and actionable. Topics covered included the vilification of sugar, ivermectin, the role exercise plays in cancer care and therapeutic compounds that have been helpful on Michelle’s cancer journey.

This isn't just about treatment—it's about living well while healing.

Guest: Dr. Mark Fontes, Naturopathic Doctor
