The Spiritual Journey
In Into the Flow, you share an open account of your search for spiritual freedom throughout decades of grief, Catholic certainty, marriage, work, money, divorce, and desire. Why was this an important book for you to write?
I wanted to write the book I couldn’t find when my life split open; I was drowning in the questions, and suddenly couldn’t seem to relate to anyone or anything around me, including my old self.
There were plenty of books out there offering help. Self-help. Psychology. Spirituality. Many made big promises. (You name it, I read it!) There were also great novels to get lost in. I was devouring all of the above, but what I craved was the best of both worlds: a story with one continuous narrative arc about someone on a spiritual journey, but that was grounded, honest, and realistic.
I wanted a book that told the truth about spiritual awakening. What does it really look like when your life falls apart and you start rethinking everything: your beliefs, identity, career, marriage, and all your old notions of success? Where was the book that portrayed the seeker who’s not only wrestling with the questions but trying to embody those new revelations through the messy realities of grief, money, and day-to-day life? I wanted the book that would have made me feel less alone in my journey: the confusion, absurdity, missteps, and especially the humor. Because life is pretty ridiculous, so let’s all have a laugh about it, you know?
Anyway… I couldn’t find that book, so I wrote it!
What was the most challenging part of revisiting your experiences on the page?
At first, lawd, it was just getting the experiences down in whatever form I could!
In the very beginning, I decided the easiest way for me to start this monster was to send myself emails. I literally created a brand new email account dedicated solely to this endeavor of seeing what sorts of things wanted to emerge. I’d set aside an hour, sometimes less, sometimes more, open a blank compose-email screen, and write. Some of the stories were funny, and I laughed my way through writing them. Some were gut-wrenching. Some made no sense at all. I didn’t judge or censor, and I definitely didn’t tell myself I was writing a book. I was simply allowing creation… and it was arguably the most fun part of the process. No pressure or expectations—just the joy of it.
Then came the larger challenge: How do I wrangle all these random, disparate stories into one cohesive narrative? Gah! And how do I find a voice that can hold both humor and depth?
That took years to nail down.
But, looking back, wow: what an amazing, totally mind-blowing thing the creative process is.
You write openly about the desire to be rescued by something outside ourselves. Why do you think that longing is so universal?
I’ve given this one a lot of thought over the years. Many psychologists and spiritual teachers talk about this “oceanic feeling” we have as infants, where we don’t experience ourselves as separate from everything around us. There’s just… this sense of oneness.
As we grow and develop, a story of “me” starts to come online. (In Western cultures arguably even more than others.) We start to see ourselves as separate individuals with our own identities, and personalities. We develop our own particular brand of fears, defenses, and conditioning. This separation is a completely natural and necessary part of being human.
However, my personal take is that the moment we start to experience ourselves as separate, there also begins a longing for that deeper sense of connection we remember.
Many call this the wound of separation.
And so begins the journey of seeking that connection, that love, outside of ourselves: parental approval, societal approval. If we are raised religious: approval from the God-man-in-the-sky. We start to associate safety with achievement, performance, certainty, beliefs, roles, money, success, or simply staying so busy and numb we no longer feel the longing and discontent anymore. With childhood trauma, often this seeking and suffering is even more magnified.
Over time, we get further and further from our inner knowing.
For me, the spiritual journey – call it awakening, self-actualization, individuation, whatever term you prefer – is about getting back to that inner knowing. Slowly peeling back all the fears, defenses, and patterns we’ve accumulated so we can remember who we really are and reconnect with the deeper wisdom, wholeness, and aliveness that was there all along but just maybe got buried for a while.
From that place, in my experience, we can start partnering with life differently. Instead of trying to force life to conform to our perfect little script, we begin trusting its twists and turns a little more. We fight with reality a little less.
Personally, the more I’ve trusted life, the more I’ve come to see that life really isn’t something “out there” happening to me… I am life, and life is me. It’s all one unfolding. Life on Earth may drive me absolutely bonkers sometimes—Christ on a bike, the endless minutiae!—but there’s an intelligence there that’s often a lot smarter than I am. I’ve found I’m much better off partnering with it than resisting it. Life always wins anyway. Ha!
That said, please: we’re human. We’re going to lose our footing. Maybe we just get a little better at returning to ourselves when we wobble. As they say in yoga, the master isn’t the one who holds the perfect pose uninterrupted. She’s the one who knows how to return to the pose after falling out of it… and learns to laugh more at the absurdity of it all.
What does living “in the flow” look like for you today?
Great question! I’ll answer with a story.
Seven years ago or so, I kept hitting obstacles trying to publish this book. None of the various next steps felt right. I just couldn’t find the spark needed to take this book across the finish line, and I was deeply discouraged by this. After all that work… now just… nothing?
Then one day, on a winter trip to San Pancho, Mexico, still feeling lost around the whole thing, my partner Greg looked at me and asked, “What would we do right now if we weren’t afraid?”
Five months later, I’d put the book on ice, we’d sold our house in DC, our cars, and just about everything we owned… and spent the next six-plus years vagabonding around the planet while working remotely. Definitely NOT the original plan, but best detour ever.
Then COVID hit while we were in the middle of the Atacama Desert in Chile.
We scrambled onto one of the last flights back to the States, canceled six months of travel plans, and ended up wandering around the U.S. until the world reopened. One of those unexpected detours led us to Asheville, North Carolina, which eventually became our home… and where it finally felt right to bring this book across the finish line.
Absolutely none of it was part of the plan.
That’s what living in flow means to me now. Not the shiny Instagram version where everyone’s perfectly aligned and somehow has amazing lighting 24/7, but the kind with uncertainty, frustration, plot twists… where life has its own timeline.
For me, it’s about listening inward while also learning to partner with life. Taking ownership of the choices that are mine to make, but letting go of the illusion that I have to control every outcome. More often than not, I’ve found that life has much better ideas than I do. Or as Byron Katie writes, “Let life live you. It does anyway.” Maybe easier said than done sometimes! But it rings true to me.

The Saved Effect: True Stories of Lives Reclaimed by People Who Were Willing to Act
The Saved Effect by Brad Newbury and Kiera Newbury is a narrative nonfiction book about what happens when ordinary people respond to extraordinary emergencies. Through accounts of cardiac arrest, choking, drowning, and other medical crises, the authors trace how one timely decision can preserve years of relationships, memories, and opportunities. The book’s central idea is simple but affecting: saving a person also saves the future moments that person will share with everyone around them.
Part medical memoir and part collection of inspirational true stories, the book moves between survivors, relatives, bystanders, firefighters, paramedics, nurses, and physicians. That range of voices gives each rescue a wider emotional frame. The emergency itself supplies urgency, but the real focus is the life that follows. Weddings take place, children and grandchildren are born, careers develop, and families get precious additional time together. Those details make this emergency medicine book feel personal even when the authors explain CPR, defibrillation, cardiac rhythms, and the realities of responding under pressure.
The strongest chapters pair tense, clearly described rescues with honest reflections on their long-term impact. Brad Newbury’s account of his father’s cardiac arrest and final months is especially moving because it treats survival as the gift of meaningful time rather than a promise that every medical problem will disappear. Elsewhere, survivors become EMTs, rescuers later need rescuing themselves, and lifesaving knowledge travels through families and communities. These connections give the true survival stories a satisfying sense of momentum and make the book’s ripple metaphor feel earned.
The repeated calls to learn CPR give The Saved Effect the directness of an inspirational self-help book, but its persuasive power comes from the people. The authors make preparedness feel practical, compassionate, and accessible. Readers interested in medical nonfiction, firefighter and paramedic memoirs, real-life rescue stories, CPR awareness, and books about courage will find an emotional and purposeful read here. It leaves you thinking about the lives connected to your own and how much can depend on being willing to act.

The Fitness Mirage: The Hidden Secret to Your Mind and Body’s Potential
The Fitness Mirage is Clifton Pope’s personal, spiritually grounded guide to fitness as a whole-person transformation rather than a narrow pursuit of muscle, weight loss, or discipline for its own sake. Pope moves through his own shift from pharmacy technician to trainer, his work at Results Personal Training Studio, and the story of ESSA, a client whose exercise, nutrition, and fasting practices become part of a larger healing journey. The book blends memoir, coaching, neuroscience, faith, mindful eating, fasting, primal movement, and future-looking fitness technology into one central belief: the body, mind, and spirit aren’t separate projects but one living system asking to be cared for with consistency and intention.
There’s a raw, conversational quality to the book that makes it feel less like a polished fitness manual and more like sitting across from someone who’s genuinely excited to tell you what changed his life. I appreciated the moments where his personal story came through clearly, especially his memory of leaving Walgreens, stepping into Results Personal Training Studio, and discovering that fitness could be more than reps and sweat. His repeated idea of training the mind so the body can follow gives the book its emotional spine. The writing has a generous, encouraging pulse, especially when Pope talks about ESSA’s walks with her father, her small victories in the gym, and the way movement became an anchor during mental and physical instability. Those passages have heart because they aren’t just about transformation as a slogan. They’re about a person trying, stumbling, adjusting, and choosing to show up again.
Pope has a lot he wants to share, from endocannabinoids and mindful nutrition to fasting, chakras, AI fitness tools, wearable technology, and biblical examples like Moses fasting for forty days. That abundance gives the book energy. I respected the honesty behind the ideas. Pope isn’t writing from a cold, clinical distance. He’s writing from conviction. His advice to celebrate small wins, avoid comparison, listen to the body, and focus on progress instead of perfection feels grounded in lived experience, and that’s where the book feels most persuasive.
The Fitness Mirage is an earnest and heartfelt book about reclaiming health from the inside out. Its writing is most compelling when Pope trusts his own story and the human details of ESSA’s journey, and its ideas are strongest when they circle back to patience, self-awareness, and the daily courage of consistency. I’d recommend it to readers who enjoy faith-informed books on personal growth, personal transformation stories, and holistic fitness guidance that treats exercise as an emotional and spiritual practice, not just as physical improvement.

Into the Flow: A Journey to Freedom by Trying It All
Into the Flow follows Kathleen Branigan through a long, searching passage from inherited faith into lived spiritual freedom. What begins with her mother’s cancer diagnosis becomes a decades-spanning reckoning with grief, Catholic certainty, marriage, work, money, divorce, desire, embodiment, and the stubborn human wish to be saved by something outside ourselves. Branigan tries nearly everything: meditation, graduate study, coaching, therapy, dating, retreats, ayahuasca in the Amazon, and the ordinary humiliations of trying to build a life while one’s inner world is being remodeled. The book’s true subject, though, is not the catalog of experiences. It’s the gradual discovery that freedom is less an escape hatch than a way of inhabiting the life already here.
The scenes with her mother are especially affecting, from the absurd eruption of “Jimmy crack corn” during illness to the tender, almost unbearably intimate moment when her mother’s final request is simply, “Be free.” Branigan has a gift for puncturing solemnity at the exact second it threatens to become too polished. Painting her mother’s toenails candy apple red after death, fleeing corporate suffocation by way of a conga line, or wrestling with grief while trying to remain a “happy” spiritual person all feel vividly, painfully human. Her prose moves quickly, sometimes breathlessly, with a voice that is funny, self-skewering, and emotionally exposed. The comic asides crowd the quieter revelations, but the abundance is also part of the book’s charm. It feels like a mind and heart thinking aloud before they’ve had the chance to launder the mess out of the truth.
What stayed with me most was the book’s insistence that spiritual insight isn’t a bypass around suffering. Branigan is sharp about the seduction of spiritual performance, the way “trust the universe” can become another costume for control. Her ideas about grief, identity, and freedom deepen as the book moves forward, especially when she recognizes that pain isn’t evidence of failure and that emotion can become a kind of inner compass. I didn’t agree with every metaphysical leap, but I respected the sincerity of the inquiry. Branigan doesn’t present awakening as a clean arrival. She presents it as awkward, embodied, expensive, funny, lonely, and occasionally ridiculous. That honesty gives the book its weight.
Into the Flow feels less like a manual for transformation than a candid record of one woman learning to stop outsourcing her own life. I closed it with admiration for its emotional courage, its unruly humor, and its willingness to let freedom mean something more demanding than happiness. This is a good book for reflective readers, seekers in transition, people grieving an old identity, and anyone who has ever tried very hard to become whole before realizing they were never quite as broken as they feared.

From Innocence to Wisdom
In From Innocence to Wisdom, Marty Lynch traces a life shaped by childhood trauma, inherited anger, marital loss, hard-won self-recognition, and the slow, deliberate work of becoming gentler. The book begins in the charged atmosphere of family inheritance, with a beloved but volatile father and a Catholic upbringing that left deep marks, then moves into the author’s devastating recollection of childhood sexual abuse at summer camp. From there, Lynch follows the consequences of pain carried in silence: his temper, the collapse of his marriage to Kathleen, the loneliness of starting over at fifty-four, and the surprising inner shift that comes through therapy, reflection, accountability, and something as deceptively simple as learning to truly smile.
What moved me most was the book’s refusal to keep suffering abstract. Lynch doesn’t write about pain as a polished concept. He writes about the tiny loft above the barn after Kathleen asks for a divorce, the dark train rushing through a tunnel in his imagination, the airport beer no one is waiting to hear about, and Brendan’s hand resting quietly over his on the U-Haul’s shifter as they leave the family home. Those moments have a plainspoken force. I found the strongest passages to be the ones where he stops explaining and simply lets memory breathe. The writing sometimes revisits things, especially when circling the ideas of brokenness, resilience, and “the best version of ourselves,” but I also felt that repetition belonged to the emotional reality of the book. Trauma often thinks in loops. Regret returns. Self-forgiveness doesn’t arrive in one clean sentence.
The ideas in the book are earnest, practical, and sometimes unexpectedly luminous. I admired Lynch’s insistence that change is possible, not as a slogan, but as a daily discipline rooted in awareness. His chapter on anger as a nuclear weapon felt especially honest because he doesn’t excuse himself, even when he gives the reader the history that wounded him. I also appreciated the way his “smile” revelation, which could have sounded slight in a less sincere book, becomes something larger here: a theory of reciprocity, of how the face we offer the world changes what the world offers back. Lynch’s wisdom is most persuasive when it emerges from the grain of his own life, from the therapy session where his father still can’t listen, from the letter returning pain to its source, from the tenderness of remarriage after ruin.
I finished From Innocence to Wisdom feeling that I had spent time with a man determined to tell the truth as best he can, even when the truth embarrasses him, grieves him, or forces him to stand uncovered before the reader. It’s a sincere and often affecting book that’s carried by humility, remorse, and an almost stubborn faith in personal repair. Its power lies in the belief that innocence may be shattered, but wisdom can still be chosen, practiced, and shared. I’d recommend this book to readers drawn to reflective memoirs about trauma, emotional growth, marriage, fatherhood, accountability, and the difficult beauty of becoming softer without becoming less strong.

Listening to Spravato
Listening to Spravato, by Justin Page, is a personal and practical meditation on how music shapes the experience of Spravato treatment for depression. Part memoir, part guide, and part argument for more intentional clinical care, the book follows the author’s journey from years of severe depression and suicide attempts into the fragile, complicated hope offered by esketamine sessions. Page explores the Spravato chair as more than a medical setting, showing how light, blankets, headphones, silence, clinicians, playlists, and even the soft crunch of recorded snow can become part of the treatment environment. At its center is a clear and quietly radical idea: when the mind is most vulnerable, sound isn’t background. It’s structure, shelter, and sometimes a lifeline.
What moved me most was the book’s tenderness toward suffering without ever turning it into spectacle. Page writes about depression with an intimacy that feels earned, especially in the personal note where he remembers being sixteen and feeling that the word “depression” was far too small for the storm it named. That passage gives the rest of the book its emotional gravity. The later chapters on playlists, clinic rooms, and session phases could have felt purely technical, but they don’t, because they’re rooted in the lived knowledge of someone who has needed these tools to survive. I found the “one bad trip” chapter especially striking. The absurd interruption of a Spotify ad, followed by the terrifying intrusion of a screaming solo flute and a rumbling Beethoven passage, makes the book’s central argument suddenly visceral. Page doesn’t merely tell us that sound matters under Spravato. He lets us feel how quickly music can become a menace when the self is unmoored.
The writing is strongest when it trusts its own lyric intelligence. Page has a gift for turning sensory experience into language that feels both precise and haunted: ambient music becomes architecture, a soft piano feels like a hand on the shoulder, public soundscapes offer “the comfort of a crowd without the threat of contact.” I admired the way he balances poetic reflection with practical restraint. He’s skeptical of mystical claims about 432 Hz and “healing frequencies,” yet he’s generous enough to admit that symbolism can matter when the nervous system is open and afraid. Its ideas are persuasive because they are humble. Page isn’t selling music as magic. He’s arguing that care is often found in the smallest, adjustable details.
I came away from Listening to Spravato with a renewed respect for the unseen textures of healing, for the chair, the headphones, the nurse outside the door, and the final grounding track that helps a person return to themselves. This is a compassionate, idiosyncratic, and quietly necessary book, one that makes a convincing case that treatment environments should be designed with more imagination and more mercy. I’d recommend it to Spravato patients, clinicians, clinic owners, music therapists, and anyone interested in how sound can help hold a person steady when language has gone temporarily out of reach.

Loving, Caring, and Healing Yourself: Restoring Your Eternal Frequency
Loving, Caring, and Healing Yourself, by Isaiah A. Tisdale, is a gentle self-love guide built around six spiritual practices: intention, acceptance, care, affirmation, solace, and authenticity. Tisdale frames healing as a return to the true self, not a reinvention, and he keeps circling back to the same central idea: love is something we practice inwardly until it changes how we move through the world. The book blends reflection, affirmations, journaling prompts, breathwork, morning routines, self-care rituals, music, movement, solitude, prayer, and sensory awareness into a warm invitation to treat the mind, body, and spirit as one living, tender whole.
Tisdale writes from a place that feels deeply personal, especially when he talks about his Sunday self-care routine, leaving his phone alone in the morning, buying himself flowers, writing monthly love letters to himself, and using prayer throughout the day as a grounding practice. Those details give the book a lived-in texture. I believed him most when he moved away from abstract language and let me see the shape of his actual life. There’s something quietly moving about the way he insists that care isn’t selfish, that rest is not an indulgence, and that the love we pour into ourselves can become steadier love for others. I also appreciated how often he returns to childhood conditioning, ego, trauma, and shame without making the reader feel broken. His best idea, to me, is that self-acceptance and self-improvement don’t have to fight each other. That felt emotionally honest and useful.
The writing has a rhythmic, meditative quality, almost like a long spiritual breathing exercise. That repetition creates comfort. Phrases about light, frequency, the Universe, wholeness, and unconditional love build a kind of devotional atmosphere, and I can see readers finding real peace in that cadence. The strongest sections are the most concrete ones: the morning routine with qi gong and gratitude, the sticky note exercise for rewriting harsh body-talk, the chapter on solace with its emphasis on silence and heart wisdom, and the authenticity chapter’s invitation to speak aloud to yourself and rewrite your values and beliefs. Those moments make the ideas breathe. They turn self-love from a beautiful phrase into something with hands, time, texture, and daily effort.
By the end, I felt like Loving, Caring, and Healing Yourself was less a conventional self-help book than a soft-spoken companion for someone trying to come back to themselves after years of overextending, performing, or shrinking. It’s earnest and spiritually framed, but it’s also generous, calming, and genuinely rooted in care. I’d recommend it to readers who enjoy reflective, affirmation-centered books about self-love, especially those drawn to spirituality, journaling, intentional routines, and holistic healing practices. It would be especially good for someone who needs permission to rest, set boundaries, and begin treating their own life as something sacred.

The Ultimate Soul’s Purpose
Hydrangeas From Dad follows you through the devastating loss of your father and the mysterious hydrangea text he sent from beyond, opening into a courageous memoir of grief, soul, family, and spiritual healing. Why was this an important book for you to write?
First of all, I admired my dad for the man he became in the last 25 years of his life. Once he retired and no longer had to fully provide for 5 kids, a wife, and his mother, he became a real father to me. And I was gradually able to let him in after spending my childhood feeling detached from him. During retirement, Dad visited me several times a year, called frequently, and moved to FL, and was closer, so I could visit him. We finally had a relationship.
Secondly, I thought the way he lived his life was authentic, courageous, and full of gusto, and he encouraged me to live the same way. I told him when he was dying that I would write a book about him and his life, and I was committed to that promise.
And, the third reason was that his message to me from the afterlife was so powerful and life-changing that I knew I needed to share the story with others. My desire was to help others who had also lost a loved one, maybe a parent, to know with certainty that our soul relationships continue after the body is gone. I found that awareness to be so comforting during the early months and ongoing years of grieving that Dad was no longer physically with us. I trusted that others could find comfort in this story, too. And his message to me ignited the fire of complete authenticity in me to live my life fully and honestly! I wanted to share that message too, knowing that physical life as we experience it is short, but HOW we live prepares us for the possibility of a glorious afterlife.
What was the first thing you felt when you saw the text from your father’s phone with the photo of blue hydrangeas?
I was honestly shocked! I think my heart stopped beating, and I lost my breath for a moment. But my mind couldn’t process this, and I tried desperately to find another explanation other than this was Dad reaching out to me right after a man on television talked about how important it was to call your parents while they were still alive. I was trying to digest all of that. It was more of an emotional experience than it was anything cognitive. It was tumultuous! My gut was in knots. I stared at the screen in disbelief. And after a few moments, I convinced myself that my sister had planted a flower bush in Dad’s yard and used his phone to send me a picture of it. I needed to believe in that to get through the night and let my gut and heart settle down.
How did writing about your father’s final days change your relationship to those memories?
I commented to my siblings that they lived through my dad’s dying and moved on; and, I lived it off and on for 10 years, the length of time it took me to finish the manuscript. Writing about those 5 days of my dad’s dying kept me anchored in the experience of dying. It also helped me appreciate living even more because I now knew what it was like to have a loved one leave this physical world and their physical body. I became more intimately attached to death and dying and re-writing the definitions of this for myself. And, through this awareness, I knew that preparing oneself for the afterlife by HOW we lived in THIS life was the ultimate soul’s purpose.
Were there parts of your spiritual journey that you felt afraid or hesitant to share so openly?
After serious reflection on this question, I would have to say the part of my spiritual journey that I had hesitation or fear to share openly was about my venture into the world of shamanism. Not because of my own trepidation, but because I feared being judged harshly and my book being discredited because of that.
I live in the Bible Belt of the US. People are predominantly Christian, and fundamentally so. I consider myself a Christian, but open to receiving influence from many other religions as a spiritual seeker. Shamanism would be seen as a pagan practice by many. But I had to push through this fear of rejection and dismissal because my spiritual journey, prompted by my Dad’s text message from the afterlife, was and still is about being my TRUE self!
Now, I welcome questions from anyone. I love the opportunity to better explain how studying shamanism and the powerful rituals as they were taught by Don Oscar Miro Quesada, taught me how to fully and completely love! My heart was blocked by layers of anger, disappointment, and despair for most of my life. The practice of Anyi, “sacred reciprocity,” and the initiations and blessings received from don Oscar and the Universal Shamanism community removed the barriers I didn’t even know I had. Somehow, I was set
free, became lighter, more positive, and loving; and this has been a treasured gift.
