Still Kicking. Still Becoming.

You made it through.That was supposed to be the hard part.… wasn’t it?In this episode of Home of Misfits, I sit down with Connard Hogan — Vietnam veteran, former therapist, and someone who knows what it means to survive things that don’t neatly stay in the past.But this isn’t a story about war.And it’s not a story about healing, either.It’s about what happens after.After the chaos.After the identity you thought you had falls apart.After you realize surviving didn’t come with instructions for how to live.This conversation moves through trauma, spirituality beyond religion, and the quiet, ongoing work of catching yourself in real time… when the past still shows up uninvited.No performance.No preaching.Just two humans exploring what it means to still be here… and still becoming.If you’ve ever had the thought — “I made it through… but I don’t know what to do with that”This one will stay with you.Connect with Connard:https://www.connardhogan.comConnect + Continue the ConversationHome of Misfits (Podcast + Movement):Website: https://homeofmisfits.comEmail: [email protected] of Perspective® (Deeper Work + Resources):Website: https://mattersofperspective.comEmail: [email protected] just in case you forgot...Normal is optional.Masks are not necessary.You belong.Crisis Hotlines USA: Emergency: If you or someone else is in immediate danger, please call 911 (or your local emergency number).Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline: (800) 422-4453Crisis Text Line: Text HOME to 741741Nacional de Prevención del Suicidio: (888) 628-9454National Domestic Violence Hotline: (800) 799-7233National Sexual Assault Hotline: (800) 656-4673National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: 988National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (options for deaf and hard of hearing): For TTY Users: Use your preferred relay service or dial 711 then 988 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration National Helpline: (800) 662-4357Veterans Crisis Line: 988, then PRESS 1 or Text 838255
