State Shifters

This week’s guest is the 20-year-old Toronto-born, Michael Spivak (@spivy__). Michael is the youngest guest to appear on the State Shifters Podcast to date but don’t let his age fool you - he is one of the wisest young men I’ve had the pleasure of befriending. Stay tuned to hear us talk about his dive into the spiritual world, how he uses tools to understand his emotions and the importance of holding space to listen to others.   In this episode, we discuss: - the quarantine - his head-first dive into a spiritual journey - his experience doing his first breathwork session - the power of breathwork and using it to heal yourself - understanding fear and the story the mind creates around pain - How mike uses the tool “the four corners” (data, thoughts, feelings and desire) to understand his emotions - Fighting the stigma of showing your true self on social media - Mike’s journey finding himself as the youngest of five brothers - surrendering to support and mentorship - holding space to listen to those you care ab
