What If Your Illness Became Your Superpower | Ep 392
A single 90-page book lit the spark. We walk through how Prescription for Living evolved into Voices for Voices—hundreds of episodes, a growing publishing arm, and a mission to help people navigate mental health with courage, clarity, and practical tools. The heart of the story is simple: belief comes first, patience powers the middle, and impact becomes the true return.
We share a candid look at seasonal affective disorder and the quiet discipline it takes to keep showing up when the days are dark and the numbers don’t flatter the work. From early counseling prompts to tangible frameworks for advocacy, you’ll hear how “prescriptions” can be more than medicine: conversations, music, routines, and faith that widen our capacity to heal and serve. We also explore how ADHD and OCD energy can be redirected from chaos to contribution, turning lived experience into empathy and output that actually helps people.
The journey extends into Voices for Voices Publishing with titles like Atalan, The Young Siren Born, and The Search of Drake Colton—stories that fuse faith, adventure, and purpose for readers of different ages. These projects broaden our reach and deepen the legacy we’re building together. Money won’t follow us, but the lives we touch will echo forward. If belief, advocacy, and service resonate with you, lean in with us: subscribe, share the show with a friend, and consider supporting the mission so we can help more people, in more ways, for years to come. Your listen, your share, and your voice matter.
