In today's discussion, she encourages every woman to change the way they see so that they can live a better life and soar into greatness.

Empower your other hand

Michelle Mras went through surgery for her rotator cuff and torn biceps on her dominant hand. In spite of the surgery, she had a lot of commitments including training sessions and she had to find a way to fulfill her commitments and also do all the things that she needed to do. With her right hand in a sling, she decided to empower her other hand and that was when she started to do things that she never imagined she could do with her left hand. Michelle states that the other hand is a metaphor for everyone around you who could help you grow and the encouragement is for the empowered woman to find ways to empower that other hand, whoever that person is.
