  • #54 | The Power of Letting Go: How Releasing Attachments Builds Strength & Resilience

    Today’s Conversation about Resilience is easing your grip on attachment to help you become more resilient, agile, and adaptable.

    If this episode sparked something within you, please download it and share it with a friend. 

    Kintsugi is the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, silver, or lacquer, highlighting the cracks rather than hiding them. It embodies the philosophy of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in imperfection, and teaches that breakage and repair are part of an object’s history, making it more valuable rather than less. Metaphorically, Kintsugi reminds us that our challenges, scars, and setbacks are not something to be ashamed of but can be embraced as a source of strength and transformation.

    Let's celebrate our scars as golden symbols of resilience and strength. 

    My name is Michael. I help people prevent a bad moment from turning into a bad day and help them heal, grow, 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, and my trauma team doesn’t know how I survived. Along the way, I’ve tried it all to heal and in my podcast, I share what I’ve learned in hopes that something might help you. Plus, I want to create a connection with you so you’re not alone in your journey. You’ve got this!
