Ep. 14: A Gen X Journey to Mindfulness: From Near-Death Experience to Emotional and Physical Healing with Michael O’Brien
Michael O’Brien’s last bad day was a head-on collision with a motorist while he was training on his bike on the sweltering roads of New Mexico. Fast forward through weeks of rehab in a New Mexico hospital and the moment when Michael remembered a lesson from playing sports growing up: when things are going too fast, take a timeout and breathe. This conversation is an epic journey through everything from low self-worth, to creating a mindful way of life that reframes your perspective through any transition.
