1h 1m

Episode Description

In this powerful conversation on the Kate Hamilton Health Podcast, I sit down with positivity advocate and content creator Mike Burton to explore what it truly means to transform pain into purpose. Mike opens up about his journey through childhood trauma, fear of failure, and anxiety and how he used those experiences as fuel to build a meaningful, joy-filled life.

We chat about the mindset shifts that helped him rise above adversity, why embracing fear is key to growth, and the daily habits that keep him grounded. From personal trainer to educator to inspiring voice online, Mike’s evolution is a reminder that your past doesn’t define your future - your perspective does.
