What if the one thing that makes you feel “broken” is actually the beginning of becoming whole again?

In this deeply honest conversation, Michael revisits a timeless episode with bestselling author and grounded performance coach Brad Stulberg. They dive into the myth of stability, the power of small disruptions, and how change doesn’t just happen in crisis—it unfolds every day, moment by moment. Brad also reveals how real growth comes not from perfection, but from learning to respond—rather than react—through mindful practice and community.

• Discover the real science behind personal change and why we’re wired for transformation—not control.
• Learn Brad’s “order-disorder-reorder” framework to navigate any season of life with clarity.
• Hear how community, mindfulness, and small, consistent actions are more powerful than any life hack.

Take a deep breath and learn how to master the one thing you can’t avoid—change—and find peace in the process.
