My name is Michael I help people prevent a bad moment from turning into a bad day and heal, growth and develop more resilience. 


I'm not a doctor or therapist. But I have been through the “ringer” as they say. I was involved in a cycling accident that my trauma team doesn’t know how I survived. Along the way, I’ve tried it all to heal and in this podcast, I share what I’ve learn in hopes that something might help you. Plus, I want to create a connection with you so you’re not alone in your journey. We’ve got this!
