MEET YOUR HOSTS & SPEAKERS
Sandra Mikulic
On January 1st, 2019, Sandra started documenting her “streak” - running or walking 5km every single day. She recently surpassed 5 years of her 5k Streak.
She’s a mother, a marathoner, and a force to be reckoned with. She also happens to be in a 260 pound body.
Being open and honest about her journey and her weight has helped her grow a community of 86,000+ people, and empowered her to self-publish her own running magazine that helps spread the word that you do not need to be in a smaller body to finish races!
Michela Quilici
In her transformative journey, Michela conquered childhood fears and insecurities with a speech impediment, forging courage to break free from abusive relationships. Opting for the unconventional, she left a secure job and her home in Canada, birthing a more self-actualized self in the Netherlands.
As a business and personal growth Strategist, Self-Leadership Coach, Author, and Speaker for over 20 years, Michela guides you with a compass, roadmap, and pathway to overcome challenges, gain clarity, and achieve holistic success in all areas of life.
Ornela Maric
An engineer turned trauma-aware personal transformation coach, Ela blends her analytical and problem-solving skills, with mindset tools and inner child work to help drive deep personal transformation.
Ela believes that the journey from coping to thriving is available to us all when we understand that even when we can not change the circumstances, we can always change how we show up in them.
