Michael Gallagher

Michael Gallagher is a writer, speaker, and recovery advocate who shares reflections rooted in lived experience. He is the author of Waking Up: A Guide for Transformation, a personal account of addiction, emotional healing, and the spiritual principles that helped him rebuild his life with clarity, gratitude, and compassion. Michael’s work is grounded, honest, and designed to support those in recovery—or anyone navigating uncertain or painful seasons of life. He speaks to those who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, offering a quiet space to pause, breathe, and come back to center. His reflections and the tools he shares draw on spiritual principles, insight, and daily practices rather than theory, creating a sense of connection and calm for those who may feel alone in their healing, regardless of what stage that is. Through short talks and eventually guided meditations, he explores themes such as how to practice compassion when you feel unworthy, how to access gratitude during pain, and how to stay connected to truth even in darkness. His hope is that by sharing his story and the tools that helped him heal, you will be reminded—when you most need it—you are not alone, and you have a place here.
