A Journey of Healing Introduction:
Personal growth and self-discovery are transformative processes that can lead to profound changes in our lives. For Mike, the founder of Danvers Wellness Center, this journey has been beautifully messy, filled with challenges, and ultimately rewarding.
In this Podcast, we will delve into Mike's story, his path to healing, and the valuable lessons he has learned along the way.
The Ugly and Messy Path to Authenticity:
Mike's journey of personal growth and self-discovery began with the realization that he had been wearing masks to hide his true self. As a people pleaser seeking external validation, he struggled to maintain meaningful relationships.

Addiction:

This process took time and dedication, but the results were worth it.
