The Game Changer Podcast
The Game Changer Podcast explores the intersection of health, purpose, and performance — spotlighting leaders, clinicians, and creators who turn adversity into growth.
Hosted by Michelle Dutro — Air Force veteran, former firefighter, PTSD nonprofit founder, and founder of Inner North Star Retreat — each episode blends candid conversations with science-backed tools for stress mastery, mental fitness, and resilience.
This is a show for curious, growth-minded people who believe the best chapters of their lives are still ahead of them — and who want real conversations, new ideas, and the kind of guests you won't find on every other podcast.
At a time when everything seems designed to divide us, this is a place to learn something genuinely new, think a little differently, and grow — without anyone telling you what to think.
With over two decades in biofeedback and wellness, Michelle brings a trauma-aware, compassion-forward approach that helps listeners elevate their physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

123: The Power Of Messengers… The Recurring Message of 2016
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I think we have all have had that moment where we have felt the perfect person came to us, just at the right time. They helped us see things in a different a light, offered the help when we needed it, or connected us with a resource that we were lacking. But how often do we consider the people who in the moment seem, well… less than helpful, as messengers as well?
Have you ever considered that everything and everyone you run across could be a messenger of some sort? Maybe someone knows how to push our buttons and they do so on a regular basis. What if they are in our lives to help us manage our reactions and emotions in a more healthy way? You see, even in the most challenging of situations there is always something to be learned. There is some opportunity for growth… if we chose to see it that way. Today’s episode covers this topic as it was one of the most frequent for me in 2016. I hope every messenger that comes your way in 2017 helps you to see things in a different light, and you see them all for the true blessing that they are.
