From Broken Neck To Unbreakable Mindset

Send us a text A bluebird training day turned into a life-altering crash, and that’s where Mike Shaw’s second story really begins. One moment he was a coach skiing at his peak; minutes later he was face down in the snow, breath crushed, limbs silent, and doctors warning he might never walk again. What came next is a masterclass in identity, belief, and the kind of gratitude that changes your chemistry. We go deep into how Mike separated who he is from what he does, crossing out labels until only values remained. He explains the subtle art of challenging limiting beliefs—those sneaky thoughts inherited from parents, bosses, or culture—and how to gather real evidence for your capability. You’ll learn why mindset and physical healing aren’t rivals, how hope fuels adherence, and how adherence drives outcomes over months and years. Mike shares his “feel-it” approach to gratitude that actually calms the nervous system, plus a practical problem scale that shrinks overreactions and validates real pain when it’s present. We also unpack “recharge to charge forward,” reframing self-care as a responsibility to the people who rely on you. From setting physical goals that persist beyond comfort to embracing presence with family and the perspective of mortality, Mike shows how to live with urgency where it matters and ease where it doesn’t. Service becomes an antidote to helplessness, and faith—religious or not—aligns hope with trust so optimism becomes a daily practice rather than a poster on the wall. If you’ve ever felt trapped by a label, crushed by a setback, or wired for urgency at the expense of meaning, this conversation is your reset. Tap play, take the problem scale for a spin, try gratitude you can feel, and let a longer horizon soften today’s turbulence.
