Description
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.
Hosted by Identity transformation coach Michael Hicks (founder of Liv2Thrive), each episode delivers real-world mindset coaching on identity, discipline, faith, emotional resilience, and leadership. This isn’t “feel-good motivation” that fades by Monday. It’s a blueprint for becoming the kind of person who keeps promises, sets boundaries, and shows up with consistency even when life gets loud.
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. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, reactive, or disconnected from who you really are, this podcast will help you get clear, get aligned, and get moving.
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.
