Michael Hicks The Liv2thrive Podcast
Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast is the show for people who are tired of starting over and ready to build a life that actually matches what they say they want.

You’ll hear powerful solo episodes, coaching-style breakdowns, and guest conversations that push the envelope on the topics most people avoid: triggers, burnout, grief, confidence, purpose, relationships, self-sabotage, and spiritual warfare.

Expect episodes on: Goal setting that actually works (no vague “new year” promises) Mindset shifts for discipline, confidence, and consistency Healing patterns that keep you stuck (and rebuilding self-trust) Faith + mental toughness: truth over feelings Boundaries, burnout recovery, and high-performance habits Identity-based transformation for real life, not perfect life New episodes deliver practical wisdom, hard truth (with compassion), and the Liv2Thrive framework to help you stop surviving and start thriving. 🎧 Subscribe to Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast for weekly motivation that turns into action and action that turns into identity.
