What happens when life's challenges become your greatest teachers? In this revealing episode of Life in Transition, host Art Blanchford welcomes Mike Huber, a mental performance coach with a powerful story of transformation. Mike candidly shares his journey through two pivotal life transitions: becoming a father and recovering from gambling addiction. "I've learned about myself that I am much more of an introvert than I am an extrovert... having that one-to-one relationship of like I'm here to listen, I want to understand you. I don't want to judge you, I want to help you." This philosophy now guides his work with young athletes after leaving a 20-year career to pursue his passion for sports psychology. Why did he make such a dramatic change? His recovery journey provided both the courage and clarity to pursue a more authentic path.Art and Mike dig into the pressures facing youth in competitive sports today and how Mike's approach emphasizes enjoyment over winning at all costs. But can career ambitions and parental responsibilities truly coexist? Mike offers practical insights on this delicate balance, sharing the two tools that transformed his life: therapy and mindfulness meditation. From panic attacks to purpose, Mike's story illustrates how vulnerability becomes service. Each time we share our struggles, he suggests, we cut their power in half. The episode concludes with a powerful reminder: our suffering finds meaning when it helps others navigate similar challenges. Isn't that what transition is ultimately about—transforming our pain into purpose?Michael Huber is a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® whose mission is to help young athletes become confident problem solvers. Mike entered the sport psychology field inspired by his experiences as a parent, youth sports coach, and compulsive gambler in recovery. He has experienced many challenging transitions, including fatherhood, recovery, divorce, and entrepreneurship. Mike aims to be of service to others by sharing his story. You can learn more about Mike by visiting his website, michaelvhuber.com.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.
