Surviving Trauma: Stories of Hope

The podcast stays true to its name in that the show is about people who have overcome traumatic events in their lives and are now sharing the inspirational stories of hope that they have taken away from having gone through those events. The show starts with me sharing my own life-changing experiences, emotions, lessons, and aids that helped me and others survivors to heal and hopefully the listeners will know that they are not alone and leave the show with a positive take away. From time to time, we also call on experts to help and guide us with some of the questions that we may have.

In this week's episode, I am thrilled to welcome Mike Coy to the podcast who joins me from Chattanooga, TN, United States.

Mike Coy grew up on the baseball field. From his early days of playing in Beaumont, Texas, to a long history of coaching, he has always been drawn back to the game. His dad was an umpire and coach that helped every kid in town with their game. Baseball is in his blood. And with good reason — his teams are winners!

After playing in college, Mike moved into the TX/LA Professional Baseball League where he hit .556 for a magical season in 1977, won the league championship, was named MVP and Offensive Player of the Year two years in a row, and won a contract offer with the New York Mets baseball team. Since then, he has gone on to coach Little League, Senior League, Big League and Select Baseball. Today, at 60+ years old, Mike is still playing and dominating Men’s Senior Baseball League with seven (7!) World Championship Rings!

Fueled by his father's poignant words, "make a difference," Mike transformed a harrowing battle with cancer into an incredible journey of triumph. As a sought-after keynote speaker and best-selling author of "I Chose…Live: There’s No Cheating Cancer, And We All Have a Choice To Make," a testament to overcoming adversity and making life-changing choices.

With a powerful mantra, "Winners find a way to win. Losers only find excuses why they fail," Mike inspires profound shifts in perspective and action, motivating individuals to embrace purpose and resilience.

Mike’s story encompasses not just a battle against cancer but a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. His strength lies in his ability to motivate others to find purpose, conquer adversity, and live each day with gratitude and determination.

Mike also has a stellar career as a Registered Financial Consultant.

It has been my pleasure to have Mike join me, and I know, my listeners, that you will enjoy the episode.

Enjoy the episode, and a special thank you to my listeners for joining me on this journey.
