My name is John Michael, and I’m the proud husband and father of two young men. I’ve been very blessed to achieve a successful business career that has enabled me to coach and develop talent. As I was balancing my time between raising a family and moving up the corporate ladder, I began to realize that despite the success I was achieving on the surface, my lifestyle was not optimized for long-term success. I was not taking great care of myself physically or mentally and often found myself stressed and anxious.
As I became more self-aware of my shortcomings, I also noticed how others were struggling with their health and well-being. I researched the pillars of a healthy lifestyle and discovered the numerous benefits available if I could just learn how to adopt those pillars consistently. I knew I needed to prioritize self-care and then discovered a graduate program at the University of North Texas Health Science Center in Fort Worth, TX, that focused on Lifestyle Health Science and Coaching. I enrolled in the program and earned a Master of Science degree, becoming certified as a health and well-being coach through Wellcoaches. I continued to train as a coach and earned the esteemed National Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach distinction.
As I began to practice and implement all that I had learned about the pillars of a healthy life, I recommitted to my faith through daily prayer. Humbling myself and committing to my faith strengthened me in ways greater than I could ever have imagined. I was more energized, aware of my emotions, had improved balance in my life, and found myself more focused and ready to achieve my professional and personal goals.
As the dots were now connected, I discovered how the interconnectedness of spirit, mind, and body profoundly impacts one’s overall health.
I found my one purpose and had clarity in my life.
