What if the way you look at your pain matters more than the pain itself?

Life rarely goes according to plan—and especially for survivors of injury, illness, or trauma, emotional spirals are common. In this episode, Michael shares the “R” in his GRACE model: Reframing—a powerful practice that helps you create space between your pain and your perspective, so you can respond with clarity instead of reaction.

Takeaways:

• Discover 3 simple yet powerful ways to reframe even your hardest moments.
• Learn why reframing isn't denial—it's a tool to reduce suffering and regain control.
• Hear how two little words—“and” and “yet”—can shift your internal narrative and open doors to healing.

Take a deep breath and discover how to build a more resilient mind and start viewing your toughest challenges through a new, empowering lens.
