You've Already Hypnotized Yourself — Craig Meriwether on Taking Back Control (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Craig Meriwether is a hypnotherapist who works with the 95% of the mind that talk therapy often can't reach — the subconscious. His core idea: the anxiety, anger, and self-sabotage that won't budge aren't malfunctions. They're old protective instructions, written by a scared child to survive a specific moment, still running decades later in a life where they no longer fit. Craig breaks down why hypnosis is just a brainwave state everyone slips into daily (daydreaming at your desk counts), why mo
Rebuilding Identity Later in Life- Laurie Kirk's Story (opens the original)
Read excerpt
After raising five kids, Laurie Kirk found herself asking a question a lot of parents eventually face: who am I now? Her answer came through acting first, then writing, and eventually her first novel, a psychological horror-thriller called Baby Marvin. In this conversation, Laurie and James talk about what it looks like to build a creative life in your fifties, the family history that shaped her writing, and the forgiveness work she's done with a father who left when she was young. She also shar
OMG, That’s Me! - Why Dave Mowry’s Jokes About the Darkest Stuff Help a Million People Feel Less Alone (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 1994, Dave Mowry was driving down the freeway when he heard something like a twig snapping in his mind. His face went slack, his voice went monotone, and a deep sense of dread moved in that wouldn’t leave for 14 years. He lost his businesses, his home, spent 18 months homeless with his family. At the bottom, he sat on a park bench with a gun in his hand. What pulled him back wasn’t a single breakthrough. It was a small notice in a newspaper about a stand-up comedy class put on by a local NAMI
Every Hardship You’ve Survived Is Already a Story Someone Needs to Hear — with TJ Baird of Warrior Dad Stories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
TJ Baird joined the U.S. Army at 17, turned 18 three days before graduating basic training, and spent the next 32 years in uniform — nine deployments, multiple combat tours. He came home each time carrying more than he showed. The armor held, until his six-year-old daughter told him he was too scary to be around. That moment sent him on what he calls the Reforge Journey — years of hard work, a ten-week stay at a traumatic brain injury clinic, and the slow, nonlinear path back to himself. Along t
300,000 Pairs of Pink Socks Later- How One Kilt-Wearing Hippie Is Rebuilding Human Connection One Gift at a Time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Nicholas Adkins spent his career as a healthcare executive — COO, 37 states, custom suits, cufflinks. Then his father was diagnosed with cancer, and in 2010, while sitting in a boardroom deciding the company’s future, Nick told them he’d have an answer after Burning Man. He came back in blue jeans, told them to sell, and moved to Portland to become a hippie. The kilts he started wearing required fun socks. The ones that got the most attention were pink knee-highs with black handlebar mustaches.
