In this episode, Donielle sits down with Criss Cain — tour photographer, videographer, podcast host, and right-hand person to rock legend Ann Wilson of Heart — to talk about how Transcendental Meditation found its way into his life and what's unfolded since.The conversation covers creative breakthroughs, the courage it takes to be authentic in a buttoned-up industry, and what it's like to warm up a sold-out arena crowd with stand-up comedy — all by staying effortlessly in the moment.The David Lynch thread Lynch's influence runs throughout the episode — from his MasterClass metaphor about fishing for ideas at different depths, to his famous quote: "Meditation makes you more and more you." Criss reflects on what that has meant in practice: more space, slower speech, more self-trust, and a low tolerance for inauthenticity in an industry full of it.In this episode you'll find:How a chance meeting over David Lynch sparked Criss's TM journeyThe morning routine (yes, it involves dancing to Britney Spears) that changed how he createsHow TM directly fueled the launch of his podcast After Dinner Thinks with Ann WilsonThe story of cold-emailing Ann Wilson's manager and nine years later walking her on and off stage every nightWhat it's like to do stand-up comedy in arenas with 15 minutes of prep — and why TM was his secret weaponWhat the mantra actually is (and why it having no meaning is the whole point)David Lynch's "ideas are like fish" metaphor and why it still resonates"If there's love, it's fine.

Everyone comes to TM  for different reasons and on a different journey. Some come for peak performance… others for mental health, spiritual evolution, stress management, etc. And every once in a while, someone comes along from an undeniably tumultuous path that not only benefits from the technique but also has the heartfelt desire to learn how to facilitate it for others based solely on the fact that it made such a pivotal difference in their healing journey. Our guest this week fits this description perfectly. Jonny Mize is a childhood trauma survivor, military veteran, impassioned musician and Transcendental Meditation teacher who has seen the profound impact of this technique ripple throughout his life and the lives of those he teaches as well.

After experiencing how easy and effective TM is at removing stress and anxiety while bringing himself back to balance and peace, he realized he had to become a Certified TM teacher and share this technique with his fellow warrior community. Today, Jonny is honored and grateful to be serving the Warrior community once again with the Resilient Warrior Program, up-armoring the mental and emotional health of our San Diego community.In this episode:How does childhood trauma motivate the healing journey?The power of music as therapyCan TM be a support for those prone to social anxiety and self isolation?What does it feel like to bring calm with you into the storms of life?How can this technique help you go from external to internal regulation?How did this technique give Jonny his life back?How can TM help with trauma-induced anxiety and PTSD?What profound results has Jonny seen in his students?What sets this technique apart from other meditations?What made him want to become a teacher?How does this technique continue to change his life?Dive in each week for real talk on meditation, meaning and modern life.

When it comes to our first responders, few of us truly understand the toll it can take on not only their physical health, but their mental health and quality of life as well. Having to consistently respond to that level of disaster is a big ask for any nervous system. James Colford is no different. Having been born into a family of first responders, the job seemed like second skin to him at first. His journey through the recovery and recalibration of that level of chronic stress management is worthy of admiration and Transcendental Meditation has been foundational in his journey.James Colford is a former Fire Lieutenant and Paramedic with 16 years of service in the fire service. As a Transcendental Meditation practitioner, he experienced firsthand the impact the practice can have on the stress, trauma, and cumulative toll associated with first responder work. That experience evolved into action, leading him to partner with the David Lynch Foundation to help bring Transcendental Meditation programs to fire departments and public safety agencies across California.In this episode:What does chronic stress look like for first responders and their families?Why mental health was long considered taboo in first responder culture.The mind-body connection — and how TM supports it on the jobDoes TM work even if you're a skeptic?Is there a noticeable difference on the days you do meditate versus the days you don’t?How can TM strengthen connection in first responder families?Fight-or-flight vs. parasympathetic state — and why it matters.How does TM compare to other meditations for chronic stress management?What does it look like to be able to meditate effortlessly and anywhere?
