    What To Do When You’re Slandered: How to Keep Your Peace Without Losing Your Power. EP: 171

    Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review. What do you do when you’re disrespected, slandered, and your name is being dragged… and the most frustrating part is this: no lawyer will take your defamation case? In this powerful episode of Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast (formerly Framing New Heights), I break down what really happens when your character is attacked, and how to respond with strength, wisdom, and emotional control without becoming the person who hurt you.

In this episode, you’ll learn: Why slander triggers your body and brain (and how to regain control) The 3 traps that make the situation worse (over-explaining, exposing, spiraling) How to build your life on evidence, not opinions (Liv2Thrive “Evidence Life”) Biblical principles for responding when you’re misunderstood and falsely accused A 6-minute communication segment: what to say vs. what NOT to say when you’re slandered How to set boundaries that protect your peace without losing your power Why your integrity matters more than public validation, and how to stay aligned when the room turns on you 📖 Scriptures referenced include: James 1:19, Proverbs 15:1, Proverbs 18:21, Isaiah 54:17, 1 Peter 3:16, Hebrews 12:15, Galatians 1:10, Micah 6:8 and more.

    Stop Negotiating with Yourself: The Hidden Habit That Kills Consistency EP: 169

    Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review. Welcome back to Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast. In this episode, Stop Negotiating With Yourself: The Hidden Habit That Kills Consistency, Michael Hicks breaks down the real reason most people feel “undisciplined” and keep starting over. The problem usually isn’t motivation. It’s daily negotiation: the quiet bargaining that turns one skipped habit into a lost week, a lost month, and eventually a stuck identity. Michael shares Liv2Thrive identity coaching strategies to end the debate with comfort, build standards over moods, and create follow-through that survives real life. You’ll also hear practical insights re-framed through the Liv2Thrive system from proven habit and performance research (identity-based habits, environment design, minimum standards on hard weeks, and weekly review). If you’ve been struggling with discipline, consistency, procrastination, or “all-or-nothing” thinking, this episode is your reset. 🔥 In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “undisciplined” is often a lie you’ve accepted How daily negotiation silently destroys consistency The difference between moods and standards How to build identity-based habits that actually stick How to remove “leaky habits” that drain your energy Why minimum standards on hard weeks protect momentum The Liv2Thrive framework to stop starting over ✅ Quote to remember: “If you negotiate daily, you lose weekly.” “Your future is losing to your comfort’s negotiation skills.” 🎯 Work with Michael / Liv2Thrive: If you want a system that ends negotiation, join the free webinar and explore coaching options through mastermind classes, 1:1 coaching, and webinar workshops.

    Faith, Fitness & Follow-Through: Stop Starting Over and Build Real Discipline EP:168

    Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review. Welcome to Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast. In this powerful episode, Faith, Fitness, and Follow-Through, Michael Hicks connects the dots between spiritual growth, physical training, and the identity work required to stay consistent when life gets loud. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of starting strong and falling off, this episode will challenge you with a Liv2Thrive truth: you don’t rise to your goals, you fall to your identity. We talk about why vague goal-setting is often self-deception, how discipline is built through standards (not moods), and why fitness can become a form of stewardship, resilience, and worship. Michael also breaks down a trauma-informed insight many high achievers miss: for some people, constructive criticism doesn’t feel like information, it feels like danger. That sensitivity can sabotage confidence, relationships, and follow-through unless you build nervous-system capacity and learn to separate feedback from identity. 🔥 In this episode you’ll learn: Why faith without follow-through becomes fantasy (and how to shift)How fitness builds more than a body, it builds self-trust and consistencyThe real reason you keep negotiating with yourself and losing momentumHow to handle constructive criticism without spiraling into shameWhy your WHY matters (identity-driven purpose) and what happens when it’s missingLiv2Thrive “Order of Operations”: Identity → Environment → Schedule → Execution📌 Sponsors & Coaching (Liv2Thrive): Want the full “how”?

    YOUR TRIGGER IS A TEACHER EP: 167

    Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review. In this episode of Michael Hicks: The Liv2Thrive Podcast, Michael breaks down the real truth about triggers, why they feel so powerful, and how they quietly hijack your relationships, confidence, discipline, and peace. This isn’t “soft talk” and it’s not blame. It’s the Liv2Thrive reframe: your trigger is a signal, not a sentence. You’ll learn why being “triggered” isn’t a personality trait, how stress and unresolved identity wounds amplify your reactions, and why the goal isn’t perfect emotional control. It’s capacity: the ability to stay grounded, lead yourself, and choose truth over feelings when life pokes the bruise. Michael also speaks directly to the “strong one who’s tired,” the leader who’s overwhelmed, and the person who keeps saying “I’m fine” while internally spiraling. If you’ve been stuck in cycles of overreacting, shutting down, people-pleasing, anger, anxiety, or emotional exhaustion, this episode will challenge you and give you clarity on what’s really happening beneath the surface. In this episode, you’ll discover: What triggers actually are (signal + story + identity pressure) Why stress makes your fuse shorter and your reactions louder How unhealed pain turns small moments into big explosions The difference between valid feelings and reliable truth Why isolation, guilt, and shame keep triggers in charge The Liv2Thrive mindset shift that helps you respond instead of reacting If this episode hits home, share it with someone who’s been feeling reactive, stretched thin, or disconnected from who they really are.

This conversation flips the script on “self-care” and replaces it with something sturdier: self-leadership. Harry and Michael break down why becoming the best version of yourself isn’t selfish, it’s strategic, and how your habits, mindset, and boundaries become the foundation that everyone else benefits from. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why “being the best for yourself” multiplies your impact in relationships, family, and work The difference between healthy self-prioritization and ego-driven self-focus How to build discipline when motivation disappears The boundary shifts that protect your energy without guilt A practical framework to refill your tank so you can pour into others consistently If you’ve been feeling stretched thin, over-responsible, or burned out from always showing up for everybody else, this episode is your reset button. 🎧 Listen now and share this with someone who’s always strong for everyone but rarely supported themselves.

    LEARNING TO EMBRACE THE STRUGGLE AND THE SUCK WHILE GETTING RID OF THE SHOULDS EP:164

    Thank you for being a listener. Kindly give us a review. In this powerful episode of Framing New Heights, host Michael Hicks sits down with Amy Bigelow — Empath Life Coach, Advanced Reiki Practitioner, U.S. Navy veteran, cancer survivor, and founder of Hope Embodied — for a deeply honest conversation about healing, intuition, and living unapologetically aligned. Amy shares her journey from government accounting to holistic healing, how surviving cancer reshaped her relationship with her body and faith, and why being an empath is not a weakness — it’s a superpower when properly understood and protected. Together, Michael and Amy explore what emotional burnout really looks like, how empaths absorb energy without realizing it, and why so many people feel exhausted, stuck, or disconnected from their purpose. This episode dives into the Liv2Thrive Framework (Mind, Body, Soul), discussing awareness, alignment, and identity-driven action — not surface-level motivation. You’ll hear practical insights on energetic boundaries, emotional regulation, intuition, spiritual growth, and what it truly means to stop living in the “should” paradigm and start becoming who you were designed to be. Amy also opens up about van life, resilience, faith, and the daily practices that keep her grounded while helping others heal. The conversation closes with a fun True/False segment that brings lightness, laughter, and real-life wisdom. If you’re an empath, highly sensitive person, or someone navigating burnout, emotional overload, or a spiritual awakening — this episode will meet you right where you are. 🔑 Topics Covered: • Empath burnout and emotional exhaustion  • Turning sensitivity into strength  • Healing after trauma and illness  • Energetic boundaries and self-protection  • Intuition and spiritual alignment  • Identity-based transformation  • Living unapologetically aligned  • Mind, Body, Soul healing (Liv2Thrive Framework) 🔗 Resources & Links: • Learn more about Liv2Thrive Coaching • Connect with Amy Bigelow – Hope Embodied • Support your body and recovery with SuperFun Gummies CBD 👉 Get 50% off at superfungummies.com Support the show To Gain instant access to my new podcast drops subscribe here: https://youtube.com/@framingnewheightspodcast?si=An1To91cUDrk6JSB L.I.V.2.T.H.R.I.V.E How to activate and re-brand your high-achieving self through the synthesis of mind, body and soul.

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 consistencyHealing patterns that keep you stuck (and rebuilding self-trust)Faith + mental toughness: truth over feelingsBoundaries, burnout recovery, and high-performance habitsIdentity-based transformation for real life, not perfect lifeNew 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.
