In this short yet meaningful Thanksgiving reflection, Michael invites you to hit pause, breathe deeply, and reflect on your emotional, physical, and relational well-being before heading into the final stretch of the year.

• Receive a heartfelt reminder of your strength and resilience throughout a challenging year.
• Explore three thoughtful reflection prompts to help you reconnect with what truly matters.
• Learn how a few minutes of stillness can reveal joy, compassion, and purpose amid the chaos.

With Whole Again: A Fresh Approach to Healing, Growth & Resilience after Physical Trauma through Kintsugi Mindfulness, listeners explore resilience through personal stories of trauma, scars, and injury while learning to overcome PTSD, imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and perfectionism with self-compassion, self-love, and self-worth. Through insightful discussions on building resilience, fitness, and stress management, as well as mindfulness practices and digital wellness, the show offers practical tools such as breathwork, micro-dose meditation, grounding techniques, visualization, and daily affirmations for anxiety relief and stress reduction. Inspired by the art of kintsugi, the podcast embodies healing as a transformative process, encouraging a shift in perspective from worry and overwhelm to gratitude and personal growth. By exploring the mind-body connection, micro-dosing strategies for emotional well-being, and holistic approaches to self-care, this podcast empowers listeners to cultivate emotional resilience and live with greater balance and intention.
