About this listen

Welcome to RESONANCE. I'm your host, Michael Trainer. For 30 years, I've traveled the world learning from the best minds in neuroscience, healing, and human potential—from traditional wisdom keepers to Nobel laureates, from elite performers to researchers at the cutting edge of brain science. What I've discovered: we've been optimizing the wrong thing. Peak performance isn't about doing more—it's about connecting deeper. RESONANCE explores the science and soul of transformative connection. Why some conversations change us while others leave us empty. Why certain relationships heal us while others drain us. What I call "the More"—that unmistakable quality when two minds truly meet. This show brings you the insights of the world's leading thinkers on connection, neuroscience, and what it means to be fully human in the 21st century.2019-2026, Peak Mind with Michael Trainer Personal Development Personal Success Relationships Social Sciences Spirituality

  • Full Moon, Full Heart: Rituals of Renewal and the Power of Living as an Offering
    Dec 5 2025

    Tonight in Uluwatu, under the brightest supermoon we’ll see for the next 17 years, I dropped into a powerful download about the future of Resonance — and about the future of human connection itself.

    In this episode, I share:

    ✨ Why full moons act as natural rites of passage
    🌊 How the ocean and awe reset our nervous system
    🔥 The breakthrough vision for the 2026 Resonance Summit
    🤝 Why living as an offering changes your destiny
    🌀 What the transition from the Year of the Snake to the Fire Horse symbolizes
    📱 The lost art of energetic hygiene in a distracted age
    🌙 How the Moon, Sri Lankan Poya days, and ancient rhythm can guide modern living

    This is an invitation to step into 2026 with ceremony, clarity, and connection — and to reclaim the practices that bring us back to center.

  • Energy Leaks, Boundaries, and the Art of Letting Go
    Dec 3 2025

    Today on Resonance, I’m coming to you from Uluwatu with a message about the power of editing — not in the sense of doing more, but in the courageous act of removing what no longer serves. Culturally, we’re taught that happiness comes from accumulation: more doing, more having, more striving. But in relationships, and in our own inner world, the truth is often the opposite. Fulfillment lives in subtraction.

    I share a recent real-world experience with someone who showed all the signs of connection on the surface, but ultimately revealed a deeper pattern of gaslighting, blame, and energetic misalignment. It forced me to confront something I’ve carried since childhood: the impulse to abandon myself for harmony, to take responsibility for emotions that aren’t mine, and to stay connected to people who haven’t earned the privilege of my presence.

    In this episode, I dive into why we repeat lessons until we claim the boundary we’ve been avoiding, how unresolved inner voices manifest in the people we attract, and why editing your relational field is essential for stepping into the next chapter of your life. Most importantly, I share how facing discomfort without numbing it is part of becoming the integrated man I choose to be — one aligned with resonance, partnership, family, and true integrity.

    If it’s not a full yes, it’s a no. Boundaries are love. Editing is liberation. And every person we release creates the space for the people who are truly meant to walk with us.
