The Social Wildlife

On this episode, I sit down with Mike Brown, an inspiring advocate for resilience, positivity, and personal growth. Mike is the host of the Stand Up Again podcast, where he shares powerful insights on overcoming adversity, healing from trauma, and rebuilding confidence after life’s toughest challenges. We discuss his unique journey, from navigating toxic relationships and single parenthood to creating an uplifting presence on social media that inspires men to embrace empowerment and positivity. Originally from Christchurch, Mike has lived across the world, including South America, where he ran a bike school for kids. Through his experiences, he’s developed a deep understanding of mindset shifts, personal development, and mental toughness, all of which he shares in this conversation.

Our discussion delves into the pivotal moments that shaped Mike’s perspective, including his time living in vastly different cultures, working in high-energy hospitality spaces, and ultimately returning to New Zealand with a renewed sense of purpose. He reflects on the importance of self-awareness, stepping into one’s power, and breaking free from people-pleasing tendencies that can lead to emotional disconnection. Mike’s story is a testament to the power of personal transformation, and he offers valuable insights on standing tall in the face of adversity. Whether you’re navigating challenges in relationships, struggling with self-worth, or looking to cultivate resilience, this conversation provides both inspiration and practical advice to help you stand up again.
