Welcome back, Late Boomers! We're Cathy Worthington and Merry Elkins, and in this episode, we open the door to a topic that quietly but profoundly shapes every part of our lives: mindset. If you've ever wondered how your habits of thought can influence your success, resilience, happiness, and even how you approach aging and reinvention, you're in the right place.This week, we're thrilled to welcome Michael Graham, founder of Mindset Matters Consulting. Michael's background is as unconventional as it is inspiring: from high-stakes presidential protection details and endurance triathlons, to law enforcement supervision and elite coaching, his journey is a masterclass in the power of mindset under pressure—and how mental shifts can spark transformation at any stage of life.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeIntroduction & Michael's Unique Story:We kick off with Michael's fascinating entry into law enforcement and how serving alongside the Secret Service on presidential details taught him about mindset, leadership, and decision-making under pressure.The Power of Preparation & Courage:Michael explains how training for every contingency—not just in policing, but also as an Ironman athlete—trains the mind to respond rather than react, and how these lessons apply in everyday life.How Endurance Sports Reshape Thinking:From grueling physical challenges to powerful mental visualizations, Michael reveals how focusing on the present, harnessing higher vibrations of gratitude and love, and reframing setbacks became superpowers that carried him through extreme endurance events.Defining Mindset and Breaking Old Patterns:We dive into what “mindset” really means, why it's foundational to success, and how shifting self-talk and noticing your thoughts are critical first steps to change.Mindset Shifts as We Age:Michael shares beautifully about the evolution of mindset in our later years—how we can become kinder to ourselves, focus less on differences, forgive ourselves more readily, and continue learning without shame.Leadership, Organizations & Measurable Change:We explore how intentionality, values-driven leadership, and genuine compassion can drastically improve not just individual performance, but organizational culture … and, yes, profits too!The Secrets to Successful Mindset Shifts:Michael gives actionable ways to catch negative self-talk and reset with powerful affirmations and consistency. He also draws on his own leap into consulting, encouraging listeners to notice both their longings and any lingering discontent—and to take action on what calls them.Key TakeawaysMindset is strategy, not fluff: Our thoughts shape emotions, drive actions, and ultimately create our results. Change your thinking to change your life.Notice your self-talk: The first step to change is awareness—“notice what you're noticing” and take action to re-pattern self-limiting beliefs.Preparation brings peace: Planning for the predictable makes the preventable possible, giving you strength and confidence under pressure at any age.Kindness begins with yourself: Especially as we age, give yourself grace, forgive mistakes, and never stop learning—much like a child learning to walk!Follow your...

Send us a textWhat if addiction isn't about the substance, but the pain it numbs—and the patterns we learned to survive? We sit down with Michael Graham—retired police sergeant, former SWAT sniper, actor, and transformational coach—to explore how identity, faith, and disciplined love can transform the hardest moments. From early career missteps and a costly lie to a full-throttle return to integrity, Michael shows how separating who you are from what you did opens the door to repair, recovery, and real leadership.The conversation stretches from behavior science to spiritual practice. We unpack how patterns like control, perfectionism, and martyrdom keep us stuck; why awareness without judgment is the first step; and how to design identity through daily “votes” that align actions with values. Michael shares the routines that kept him capable under pressure—body, mind, and spirit reps—and how the same repetition strengthens compassion as a practical skill. If the word “God” makes you recoil, you'll still find an accessible path: one word for the day, one action that proves it true, repeated until it sticks.Then comes the moment that ties it all together: a hostage standoff on the Santa Monica Pier, a sniper's green light, and a surrender measured in pounds of finger pressure. Michael holds two truths in his scope—a man responsible for violence and a human made in the image of God, the son of a mother on scene. He doesn't take the shot. It's a masterclass in strength guided by love, the kind of choice that protects others without losing your soul.Walk away with a simple practice that changes everything: ask, “What would love have me do?” Use it in a meeting, at home, or in your own self-talk. If this conversation moved you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review to help more listeners find the show.To book a FREE discovery call with Dr. Harte, click the link below:https://calendly.com/drharte/free-discovery-call-w-dr-harteTo contact Michael Graham, click the link below!https://mindsetmattersconsulting.com/contact/Support the show#thetruthaboutaddiction#sobriety#the12steps#recovery#therapy#mentalhealth#podcasts#emotionalsobriety#soberliving#sobermindset#spirituality#spiritualgrowth#aa#soberlife#mindfulness#wellness#wellnessjourney#personalgrowth#personaldevelopment#sobermovement#recoveroutloud#sobercurious#sobermoms#soberwomen#author#soberauthor#purpose#passion#perspective

Send us a textChristian belief and thought are shifting away from the center of culture. We see this as more and more people are leaving the church–in fact, according to the book “The Great De-Churching” by Jim Davis and Michael Graham, 40 million people who used to faithfully attend a local church no longer do. Many have left because they believe Christianity has lost intellectual credibility. To them, it's a faith that lacks sound answers to their deepest questions. The most fundamental one is, does God exist? There are three sound arguments for God's existence we get into today. Support the show

Over the weekend, Kamala Harris held a campaign rally in Houston, Texas—with numerous reports stating that Beyonce would be performing her song “Freedom” for the crowd in attendance. However, Beyonce merely spoke briefly at the event and never performed at all. Attendees were so outraged, that at one point during Harris's speech they booed. Other attendees took to social media to voice their displeasure. 3:40pm- Scott Presler— Executive Director and Founder of Early Vote Action—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to remind Pennsylvanians that tomorrow, Tuesday 10/29, is the last day to vote early in person in PA.

Shane Goldmacher and Maggie Haberman of The New York Times write: “The leading super PAC supporting Vice President Kamala Harris is raising concerns that focusing too narrowly on Donald J. Trump's character and warnings that he is a fascist is a mistake in the closing stretch of the campaign. Mr. Trump's former White House chief of staff, Lt. Gen. John F. Kelly, said last week that Mr. Trump ‘falls into the general definition of fascist, for sure,' a remarkable caution from such a top-ranking official, which Ms. Harris and her team immediately echoed and amplified. In an email circulated to Democrats about what messages have been most effective in its internal testing, Future Forward, the leading pro-Harris super PAC, said focusing ...

We can't go back to the church environments we grew up with, we can only go forward. So what would a healthy modern reformation and a Great Rechurching look like? Rather than wallowing in pessimism and longing to return to the church of yesteryear, Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Justin Holcomb, and Walter Strickland discuss how the church today can reform and be marked by orthodoxy, love, and resilient joy. CHECK OUT THIS MONTH'S OFFERS: The Great Dechurching: Who's Leaving, Why Are They Going, and What Will It Take to Bring Them Back? by Jim Davis and Michael Graham, with Ryan P. Burge. Become a Partner to support the work of White Horse Inn as we apply the riches of the Reformation to the modern church. Subscribe to Modern Reformation magazine. Our March/April issue is “The Head & the Heart,” where we feature essays, poems, and articles about how the Bible does not separate the “rational” mind and the “emotive” heart; rather, “In the Bible, the intellect, will, and emotions are all capacities that belong to the whole, integrated person.” For more information, visit us at whitehorseinn.org or email us at info@whitehorseinn.org Featuring: Michael Horton, Bob Hiller, Walter Strickland, and Justin Holcomb
