Vulnerability Saved My Life: A Cop’s Journey from Trauma to Transformation
After 30 years of service as a police officer, Mike Morgan didn’t just walk away with a badge—he walked away with trauma, emotional scars, and an identity crisis that nearly broke him. But it wasn’t until he watched a Navy SEAL cry on the Shawn Ryan Show that he finally gave himself permission to feel.
In this raw and powerful episode, Mike shares how growing up under verbal abuse and surviving the trauma of the job led him to a breaking point… and how psychedelic therapy helped him heal. From sobbing over a call involving a 2-year-old girl to launching The Resilient Warrior Nation podcast, Mike opens up about the power of mindset, vulnerability, and the mission to help first responders and veterans rise from rock bottom.
