#242 | A Mindset Shift I Hated Until It Transformed My Trauma Recovery and Resilience

What if the mindset shift that helps you heal is also the one that initially pisses you off?

In this powerful microdose episode, Michael opens up about a question that landed at the wrong time—but eventually changed everything. As part of the “R” in his GRACE model, reframing is more than just thinking positively. It’s about claiming your power by choosing how you relate to what’s happened.

Takeaways:

• Hear how one conversation reframed Michael’s recovery from near-death trauma.
• Learn why reframing isn’t about denying your pain—but about relating to it differently.
• Take away two powerful journaling/meditation prompts that can help you shift perspective (when the time is right).

Take a deep breath and explore a transformative question that could help you move from frustration to clarity, and from survival to healing.
