In this episode, I sit down with Martin O'Toole - a friend of mine in Bali, who is a former London ad-man turned holistic mental health coach - for a deeply honest conversation about burnout, addiction, depression, and the long road to healing.Once a self-proclaimed “high-functioning shambles,” Martin left the hustle of city life behind and began a radical journey inward. From mindfulness and Eastern philosophy to intentional psychedelic work, Martin has cultivated what he calls The Anatomy of Happy: a grounded, compassionate path to mental wellness.We explore how writing, humor, and storytelling can be tools for healing, and how he now helps others navigate their own suffering with honesty and heart. Whether you're sober-curious, healing trauma, or just curious about what it means to live and die well, this conversation is filled with wisdom, laughter, and soulful insight.

Roger Dale Martin from Vengeance, Die Happy and Reign of Glory sits down with the Headbangers Vault for a special interview about his journey in the music business and the bands he's played with in the past and present.

There are special days in our life when we feel so happy and content that we can't imagine life getting any better. Saint Symeon had such a day when he saw Jesus Christ. “Lord, now let your servant depart in peace.” The Church invites us to consider what it might take for our hearts to be filled with so much peace and joy at seeing Him that we are ‘ready' to die.

In asking questions and seeking truth, so you shall find. But if you think you know it all and that the world is fixed, you set yourself up for suffering and disappointment.

I loved hearing his perspectives though and I know you will too.We talked about:death and death contemplation as a practice to understand lifehow your present thoughts and desire direct your next experiencestarting a success diaryhis existential crisis and how that led to him committing "personal suicide"the fact that we're not hardwired and CAN change anythingthe concepts of "stopping" and "awareness"how happiness is the ability to make the inner world pleasant why he doesn't believe in this idea of heaven and eternal “pleasure” Connect with Mischa on Instagram

This rock-bottom moment launched a phenomenal journey of self healing and personal transformation. "If you told me I had five minutes left to live, I'd spend that time basking in gratitude for the incredible gift of life. I want others to have that choice too.” - Martin O'Toole Through his experiences of the “pointless pursuance of success”, Martin uncovered the alchemy of everlasting happiness. Understanding the depths of depression and contrasting heights of delight, his compulsion to share his story has resulted in a podcast and brand new book, How To Die Happy.   Meditation Coaching Schedule Time with Thom (Complimentary consultation)   Links from the Episode: https://www.martinotoolewriter.com/ Become a Super-Fan of the Show Support ZEN commuter and get access to patron bonuses THANKS FOR LISTENING!

On this episode of Tent Show Radio, experience a high voltage hour of countrified rock & roll as Wisconsin bred band Them Coulee Boys play tunes from their album Namesake. Them Coulee Boys craft a brand of Americana that blends folk, punk, bluegrass, and rock & roll. They sing their conversational songs in 4-part harmony, often with a banjo stomp and rhythm section punch that drives the audience onto the dance floor and into community. Their trusty van has propelled them thousands of miles across the country and into the hearts of strangers, who tend to leave each show as family. Soren Staff and Beau Janke, who both grew up amidst a stretch of glacial melt-carved river valleys in the upper Midwest, and more often than not could be found with an instrument in hand, became fast friends and formed their electric music partnership, after having met as counselors at a bible camp in northern Wisconsin in 2011. The duo played their first gigs as the rough-around-the-edges folk/rock/Americana outfit Them Coulee Boys in 2013. The additions of Jens Staff on mandolin, Neil Kraus on guitar & bass, and Stas Hable on drums helped to grow the band into the rollicking outfit it is today. With three full-length albums and an EP behind them, including 2019's Die Happy, they released their fourth studio album Namesake in 2021. The new album feels familial, like old friends with no need for small talk. There are moments of power and punch, balanced with an intimacy only felt between the ones we love. The ten-song collection spans from pure and genuine ballads to a leaping, countrified take on rock and roll. Namesake finds Them Coulee Boys following a new trajectory, combining their signature take on folk-grass and Americana with comfort on electric instruments and playing rock and roll. The record lives and breathes. It's both intimate and bombastic.     EPISODE CREDITSMichael Perry - Host Phillip Anich - Announcer Matt Jugeinhemer - Engineer Gina Nagro - Marketing Support   FOLLOW BIG TOP CHAUTAUQUA https://www.facebook.com/bigtopchautauqua/ https://www.instagram.com/bigtopchautauqua/ https://www.tiktok.com/@bigtopchautauqua https://twitter.com/BigBlueTent FOLLOW HOST MICHAEL PERRYhttps://sneezingcow.com/ https://www.facebook.com/sneezingcow https://www.instagram.com/sneezingcow/ https://twitter.com/sneezingcow/ 2024 TENT SHOW RADIO SPONSORSAshland Area Chamber of Commerce - https://www.visitashland.com/    Bayfield Chamber and Visitor Bureau - https://www.bayfield.org/  Bayfield County Tourism - https://www.bayfieldcounty.wi.gov/150/Tourism  The Bayfield Inn - https://bayfieldinn.com/  Cable Area Chamber of Commerce - https://www.cable4fun.com/  Kylmala Truss - https://www.kylmalatruss.com/ SPECIAL THANKSWisconsin Public Radio - https://www.wpr.org/

Having been talked out of a suicide attempt by his Beagle, this rock-bottom moment launched a phenomenal journey of self-healing and personal transformation. "If you told me I had five minutes left to live, I'd spend that time basking in gratitude for the incredible gift of life. I want others to realize that they also have that choice.” — Martin O'Toole Through his intense experiences with depression and the “pointless pursuance of success”, Martin uncovered the alchemy of everlasting happiness — what he calls “The Anatomy of Happy”. Understanding the depths of depression and contrasting heights of delight, compelled to share his story, he started the How To Die Happy podcast.

About This Episode In this episode, we have Martin O'Toole, Author of How to Die Happy and Podcaster. We explored themes around life “in the Matrix”, depression, consumption, distraction, and “success”.  We went deep down the rabbit hole of pointless pursuance of success in today's society. We also got a little snippet on Martin's new book: How To Die Happy, and how it examines why many of us feel robbed of this much sought-after prize.  About Martin O'Toole Martin is “a man on the mend”, a recovered addict who once lived a very different materially-immersed life before hitting rock bottom. Moments from suicide, his Beagle talked him out of it. His healing journey provided a vast array of insights, from ancient Eastern philosophy, to extensive work with psychedelic medicines.  "If you told me I had five minutes left to live, I'd spend that time basking in gratitude for the incredible gift of life. I want others to have that choice too.” - Martin O'Toole Through his experiences of the “pointless pursuance of success”, Martin uncovered the alchemy of everlasting happiness.

Singing is a big deal for Christians. It's “one of the most repeated commands in Holy Scripture,” according to Jim Thompson, author of Sing Loud, Die Happy: An Exploration of How God's Gift of Song Is Meant to Change Us. “It's right up there with ‘believe' and ‘do not fear.'” It's so important that Martin Luther said, “Next to theology, I give to music the highest place and the greatest honor.” And yet I'm not sure that many of us have given much thought to why singing matters to us as Christians. That's why I'm Thompson wrote this book.

Ep 108 - Western culture teaches us to fear death which really handicaps us to never truly live. We avoid death at all costs. We don't want to talk about it or read about it and most do not enjoy attending funerals. In this episode I interviewed a lady by the name of Presence Grace, yes that is her name, she also goes by Blessing. After you listen to this episode you will know why people have given her those names. Presence is a death midwife or death doula, who is a proponent for conscious dying. She takes us back into her journey to become a death doula and shares many real “end of life” stories she has witnessed as she helped people transition. Our conversation I believe is going to be a powerful tool to awaken many who listen to wake up and truly start living. A statement I got from presence was “You can't fully embrace life until you face death.” Think about it. If you had six months to live what would you do? What would you say to those around you? What would you do that you have put off? What is important to you? Thanks again for listening and if you like the show please like, share and subscribe! Love & Light -Coach Tim.
