She’s a bit of an adrenaline junkie and enjoys skydiving, and parasailing. Michels also enjoys kickboxing and riding her dirt bike for fun!

When asked about her favorite quote or motto for life Michels says she tries to live by the words of one of her favorite writers and poets Mark Twain. “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than the things that you did do! So throw the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover!”
