In this extraordinary episode, Erin and Daren sit down withDan MacQueen, a resilience coach who survived a brain hemorrhage in 2014, woke from a coma unable to walk, talk, or smile, and spent the next 10 years rebuilding his life one 1% improvement at a time.
What We Uncovered:
🚨 The decision that saved him: How avoiding the "pity spiral" from day one became his north star
💡 Aim small, miss small: Why 35 minutes to get in a wheelchair (down from 45) was a massive win and how stacking tiny victories builds unstoppable momentum
🔥 Neuroplasticity in action: How to literally rewire your brain, starting with 2 minutes of daily meditation😢 Radical acceptance (even when it slaps): Why acceptance isn't giving up, it's taking control by adapting to the new terms
Actionable Strategies:
✅ For Anyone Facing Setbacks: Start with 1% better than yesterday. Don't aim for moonshot goals; ratchet up gradually through small, achievable targets.
✅ For Building New Habits: Start meditation at 2 minutes daily for one week, then 4 minutes the next, scaling up slowly to avoid overwhelm.
✅ For Processing Anger/Grief: Acceptance doesn't mean you like what happened. It means you stop fighting reality so you can move forward.
