R. Michael Corral aka "Coach Mike"

My You Tube Channel name is Thriving with Coach Mike. My podcast name is Snippets of Wisdom which I co host with forensic Psychologist and author Dr. Michael J Murphy. On Thursdays at 11:00 am EST. (Pardon the typo on the Banner.)


Thriving with Coach Mike is about integrated wellness and all things essential to optimal living. I love to discuss the topic of integrated wellness and the opportunities for humans to live an optimal life regardless of perceived limitations or disabilities. I my YouTube channel is about how all aspects of the human experience contribute to wellness. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and other experiences all offer opportunities for humans to thrive. Then there is the human response to all internal and external experiences that influence our quality of life. I am an expert on the roles of Spiritual and emotional intelligence in optimal living. Emotional resilience, and self-efficacy, also affect physical health, academic performance as well as professional acumen and success.
