In this deeply honest and vulnerable solo episode, Michael breaks the silence and shares the raw truth behind his recent hiatus from the podcast and Think Unbroken. From personal heartbreak and health scares to questioning the future of coaching and content creation, he opens up about the toll this journey has taken—and the radical accountability he's embracing in its wake.
Michael talks about compassion fatigue, emotional exhaustion, and why 2025 has become the year of alignment. He reflects on ending a major relationship, losing vision in one eye, relocating to Asia, and stepping away from things that no longer serve his mission or well-being.
Whether you've been with Think Unbroken from the beginning or are just tuning in, this episode offers a powerful reminder: healing, growth, and transformation aren’t linear—and sometimes, the most important work is done in the quiet moments of reevaluation.
Expect a shift. Expect more honesty. And expect this show to become something even more personal moving forward.
