Have you ever met someone who lights up a room and crushes a workout? That’s Micah.

In this episode, we sit down with Shark Bite member and physical therapist Micah, who went from dreading the gym to loving it, dropping 50 pounds, running a half marathon, and stepping into a whole new level of confidence.

We talk about:

• What made her say yes to her first workout (peer pressure helps 😅)

• The moment she realized fitness could be fun again

• How she stopped obsessing over the scale and started focusing on strength

• Why feeling strong helped her take bold chances in her personal life

• Her favorite badass workout wins (including a throwdown challenge to Coach Val 👀)

This one is real, funny, and seriously inspiring—especially if you’ve ever felt like starting over was too hard or too late.

🎧 Hit play. You’re gonna love Micah.
