Born and Raised Jersey Boy Michael Life Coach

Discovering the Realities of the Corporate Dream Michael Life Coach

I went straight out of college and into the high-powered corporate world, where my success mindset drove me to work hard and achieve, using the rigorous discipline that had powered me through academia. Michael Life Coach

Eventually, I climbed to the top. I was the Managing Direct of Leasing and Marketing for one of the United States’ biggest real estate development firms.

I had it all: a beautiful wife, a luxurious Manhattan apartment overlooking the park, plenty of cash in my bank account, a great group of friends, and a wonderful social life.

I should have been on top of the world – after all, I had made it, and I had all the material rewards I could have ever dreamed of.

But I wasn’t.

The sad reality was that I was an angry and depressed person who hated my life. Michael Life Coach

I had everything, but paradoxically, I felt as if I had nothing – and that what I was lacking was more precious than any of the trappings of high living.

I was overweight, overworked, overstressed, and over-it-all. Physically, it was taking its toll on me as I took my daily cocktails of Adderall, Xanax, and Vicodin pills and chain-smoked my way through two packs a day.

I was lost. I had it all – but the reality was that I felt like I had nothing and that I was a zombie drifting unconsciously through life.

I felt a distant, but enormously powerful, echo of my lost childhood when I got divorced in 2003 – and it was at this low ebb of my life that I rediscovered yoga.

My Discovery of Yoga and My Personal Growth Journey to Rediscover my True Purpose in Life Michael Life Coach

I was just thirty years old – but when I looked in the mirror, I only saw a weary, lost soul who seemed decades older.

I asked myself just one simple question: “Who am I? What is my purpose?

I knew that it was time to change, and my rediscovery of yoga opened up a door into a new world for me. I found the discipline and philosophy of the discipline enchanting and quickly devoted myself to making yogic practices a part of my everyday life. Michael Life Coach

At this time in my life, that meant attending training from several traditions and schools and immersing myself in the different traditions. During this time, I also met my spiritual mentor, Guru H.H. Radhanatha Swami, under whose guidance I immersed myself in the spiritual teachings of the East. I lived profoundly aesthetic lifestyle for three years, receiving a formal graduation into his spiritual lineage

I also completed 300-hour teacher training under Raghunath das and Sondra Loring, as wells as training in a 600-hour alignment-based yoga teacher training from Sue Elkind and Naime Jezzeny.

At 40, I finally quit the corporate job that had, in its own way, led me down this path of huge growth by forcing me to focus on fixing the broken and beaten inner side of me.

Overnight, I went from being a high-flying corporate executive to a life coach and yoga teacher – one with plenty of bills to pay and a challenge in making it all add up!

I persevered, however. To this day, I continue to train. Not just in yoga, but also personal growth, taking a course in Holistic Health and Lifestyle Counseling from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition.

I am still on my journey – and although my path has been a rocky one with many obstacles, it has also been those same challenges which pushed me toward my true path.

I am still on a quest to be a better person. For me, that means helping others to embrace their challenges and overcome them.

My Purpose and Mission Michael Life Coach

We are spiritual being living a material life – not a material being seeking a spiritual life!

“Who am I?”

This is a simple, yet powerful, question that we all ask ourselves at some point in life. So why do we find it so hard to answer, especially when we feel that life is holding us back, preventing us from accessing the happiness and contentment that we seek?

There are many answers to this question, and I am here to help you on your journey to find your own unique answer. Michael Life Coach

In other words, my purpose is to help you to find your purpose.

In this hectic, modern world, it’s all too easy to collect material comforts, but feel spiritually down – and not really know quite what to do about it.

Deep inside you, you have a powerful purpose – one that completes your vision of what a happy and successful life really is. By examining your Circle of Life results, we will go on a journey of unlocking not just your potential but creating the life that you truly want.

We all have a bright spark of greatness within us – and together, we can wash away old patterns and habits while creating the inner toolkit for a life full of joy, passion, and courage.

You are a spiritual being – and anything you want is possible. Above all, my goal is to help you achieve that vision with a measurable action plan that keeps you focused, disciplined, and on the path to your true destiny.
