You have to love all of you, the good and the bad, and the dark, and the bits you're ashamed of, and the bits that you maybe sometimes you wish never happened, but really, every single moment got you to where you are.
Imagine living a life so tumultuous it could be the plot of a gritty drama. That’s Michael Maisey’s reality, and he shares it all in this episode of 'The Moments That Made Me'. Hosted by Roxie Nafousi, Michael recounts his journey from the dark alleys of drug dealing and prison cells to the bright stages where he now inspires others as a motivational speaker and author.
His story is a rollercoaster of addiction, near-death experiences, and the relentless pursuit of a better life. Michael opens up about the cycles of abuse he endured as a child and how these experiences shaped his early years. He talks candidly about his battles with heroin withdrawal and the countless attempts to get clean. But it wasn’t just about getting sober; it was about rebuilding his life from the ground up.
Therapy played a crucial role in his recovery, helping him break free from the chains of his past. As a father, Michael strives to create a different legacy for his children, one free from the shadows of his own upbringing. Watching them grow has been both a challenge and a healing process, bringing back memories he’d rather forget but also offering a chance for redemption.
His dedication to community safety earned him an award, and his book detailing his life’s journey has touched many hearts. Michael also hints at exciting future projects, including possibly appearing on TV and writing another book. He leaves listeners with a powerful message: embrace all parts of yourself, even the ones you’re ashamed of, because they’ve made you who you are today. This episode is a testament to human resilience and the transformative power of self-love.
