EPISODE CXXXVI: DIFFERENT VERSIONS

 It's time to take a deep dive into the different versions of Michael I have been throughout my life to inspire you to do the same.  We must find the version that is real, that we love, and we can live with.  We must find all our wonderful parts, and our most unlikable and learn how to integrate then all together into the best version of who we are.  Sometimes, it takes deep work and removing yourself from everything to really get to know yourself.  A practice that I am currently involved in right now with other benefits and plans to make a version of myself that is better than ever before.  For those who actually love me and most importantly myself.

EPISODE CXXXV: THE COURAGE OF AUTHENTICITY

 Sometimes it's more comfortable to follow a crowd and compromise your thoughts and values to feel safe, despite you may disagree.  I speak about having the courage to be your own person and living by your own code.  About owning mistakes you have made in this regard and looking to move forward.  Starting with a blank canvas but making sure you have brand new paint.

EPISODE CXXXIV: STATE OF CONFUSION

 As I continue on with my year of "discipline," I start to look at the cause and effect of decisions that I have made this year.  I talk about what lead to many of these decisions and what is next.  It's a live journal.  Ironically, I said I don't want to be an open book to the world, and here I am discussing my journey.  LOL MUSIC IN THIS EPISODE LAND OF CONFUSION - Genesis BREAKING DOWN - Florence + The Machine I DON'T KNOW - Ozzy Osbourne FREE - VAST WHEN THE CROWDS ARE GONE - Savatage

EPISODE CXXXIII: LATE AND LOST

It's the first time in two years I was late with an episode.  I am going to tell you why and my very glass half empty idea about of life lately.  I feel some level of defeat and seeing the world as not real.  I am questioning so much lately.  And I talk about it here.  This is a tough listen I will not lie.  But it does ask questions that may need answers one day.

EPISODE CXXXII: MISSION: (INSERT YOUR WORD HERE)

As we begin a new year, it gives us a chance to make a plan or resolutions.  However what I talk about is maybe a theme for your life versus empty resolutions may help you change.  It's all about giving yourself a fighting chance to win, seize opportunity and smell the roses.  You can do this.  We all can.  Because we all rule! By the way, enjoy the new intro!
