Let’s have a nervous breakdown! No, really. Michael C. Bryan said it’s OK. In fact, as someone who has faced the demons of childhood abuse and trauma himself, he encourages you to go dark. After all, once we break, what to do you think shines through the darkness? You guess it. How else do you think he became a “ray of freakin’ sunshine”? But behind the humor, the glitter and the “tell it like it is” tone, Michael is so much more. The man behind MCBHappier, Inc didn’t get there overnight. With over 25 years working as a Special Consultant to the heads of Time Warner, NBCUniversal, Food Network, HBO, CNN and Warner Brothers (just to name a few), this writer, actor and life coach has lived in the shadows. Like, big time. He specializes in high-level achieving individuals and companies who are seeking balance and equilibrium in their lives as they continue to create and expand their already existing accelerating careers. From writing his own award-winning memoir “Creepy Kid”, Michael helps his clients embrace their own life story, face the darkness and find the beacon that awaits when you just do the work. If you think this episode is full of rainbows and unicorns, think again. We’re getting real and cracking some sh*t open with a side of laughter, love and light. To learn more about Michael C. Bryan visit www.mcbhappier.com If you have a great story to tell or just want to connect, I’d love to hear from you. - Hilary HIListically Speaking with Hilary Russo is created/Hosted by Hilary Russo, produced by Alan Seales, with music by Lipbone Redding.

Michael and I talk about living in the state of the situation in the epicenter of the pandemic and how the city has changed in this time. We also discuss the mental health of those of us struggling around suicide loss and mental illness as well as how those in the entertainment world are fairing during this time.
Michael is a Virgo/Leo cusp (I'm a Virgo/Libra cusp, crazy!) and he is a brilliant actor, hilarious and vulnerable writer, a comedienne, and always pushing the envelope of emotions and enlightenment. MCB is a guide to those who need help seeing their own brilliance and he is a safe haven for those with mental illness. He's Oprah, but different.
