#250 | Building Resilience and Healing Trauma through Energy Management

What if your recovery had less to do with what you do—and more to do with how you show up energetically?

In this final episode of the GRACE series, Michael explores Energy—the “E” in his transformational healing model—and introduces the 7 Levels of Energy that influence how you feel, how you lead, and how you recover. Whether you’re stuck in frustration or striving for joy, this practical framework helps you become more aware of your inner ripple—and how it impacts your healing and others around you.

• Discover how to identify and shift between the 7 distinct energy levels.
• Learn why no level is “good” or “bad”—and how even frustration can be fuel.
• Try a 1-breath exercise that helps you enter every room or Zoom with more intentional energy.

Take a deep breath and explore the energy you carry, the ripple you create, and the power you have to shape your recovery—one conscious moment at a time.
