Michelle Hobgood visits Shawn & Brian to discuss her experience as a single parent to a son with autism, finding love that lead to an interracial marriage where she is happy & thriving, the value of finding someone who accepts it all & creating a business & source of income on her own terms.

Michelle Hobgood is a fitness & wellness professional with a Master’s in Exercise Science & Health Promotion. She’s proudly served her industry for more than 18 years and has a uniquely diversified background in non-profit and corporate wellness, commercial/residential fitness, and web-based fitness programming.  In addition to being a program manager, she’s a wellness coach, group exercise instructor, and personal trainer with specialties in corrective exercise and injury prevention.

Michelle is also a wife in a multicultural marriage, mom to an awesome non-verbal 26-year-old on the autism spectrum and a fierce advocate for the special needs community. Although she was initially devastated by her son’s autism diagnosis, she chose to focus on celebrating his life rather than allowing it to feel like a death sentence. When she’s not empowering women to reach their level of healthy, you can find the transparent musings of her unique life on Instagram and how she juggles it all with a smile (most of the time).
