On this episode of the Shift Change podcast, we're joined by guest Michael Zweigart, a veteran of emergency services who has seen it all.
Michael takes us on a candid journey through his career—from his early days as a paramedic, to becoming a registered nurse, a flight nurse, and finally moving into an administrative leadership role.
But the climb to the top came at a cost. Michael opens up about the burnout he experienced, and how it led to a profound shift in his life. He shares the moment he realized he had to change course and how he discovered a new calling: helping his fellow first responders.
Now a certified instructor, Michael is bringing the power of yoga to the front lines. He discusses his new focus on health and wellness for first responders, explaining how his unique approach using the Yoga for First Responders protocol, tailored specifically for the demands of the job, helps manage stress, build resilience, and improve performance.
Tune in for a powerful conversation about the importance of mental and physical well-being and the unexpected paths to finding purpose and learn how this approach can help you at home and at work.
