Michelle Kuei is a certified transition life coach who helps negative self-talkers to discover inner strength and beauty by overcoming fear for judgments.
Michelle’s speaking career began in 2018, soon after she founded her own coaching company.
She is the author of the new memoir, Perfectly Normal-an immigrant’s story of making it in America.
Michelle was born in Taiwan and grew up in New York, but today she lives in Los Angeles with a short-haired brown tabby cat named Buster. If you’re looking for her, odds are good you’ll find her at the gym.
About her book
Michelle Kuei was an 11-year-old student in rural Taiwan when a car running a red light completely altered her life’s trajectory.
Through the long and painful process of recovery, Kuei made surprising discoveries about loss, identity, and personal strength-- revelations that helped guide her through her journey as an immigrant to the United States.
With radical honesty bolstering her storytelling, Kuei shows us how positive transformation can happen when we let go of self-pity, embrace our flaws, and learn to love ourselves.
