I went everywhere to find answers. I went to church, spiritual healers, psychics, I even asked people that I knew or met. I wanted other perspectives and new ideas on how to change my life. The one that really sat with me was if you change the way that you think you will change the way you look at things.

About the Author
Mick was born in Edmonton, Alberta on Jan 15 1969, when Mick was just 2 weeks old, he was taken away from his alcoholic birth mother and father due to severe neglect. By the time he was 12 years old, he had been through 37 foster homes. During this time, he was exposed to severe physical, emotional and sexual abuse. He spent his childhood without a stable, loving family and experienced severe emotional trauma and abandonment from birth. As a result, Mick experienced almost complete memory loss of the first 12 years of his life. To this day, he has only been able to piece together the early years of his life by researching case files from Child Protection Services and recollecting the few memories that he had. Once a teenager, Mick continued to experience severe sexual and physical abuse from his foster families. Living as a transgender person, he had more challenges than most people but he never allowed himself to give up hope for a life of happiness.
In April 2006, Mick was destitute, at the brink of taking his own life, felt he was completely alone, unloved and unwanted, and began a series of failed suicide attempts. Finally he realized that he had to believe in something or he would die.
He began his journey healing by enrolling in Vancouver’s Rhodes Wellness College and completed the life skills course. Because of the severity of his life story, trauma and the extent of emotional, physical and sexual abuse he had suffered from birth, it took Mick several attempts to finish the course, but ultimately, he persevered and became a certified life skills coach.
