Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 29 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Teri M. Brown spent years writing copy for small businesses and hiding the fiction she desperately wanted to write until leaving an abusive relationship, riding a tandem bike across the United States, and deciding she could do anything. Fourteen months later her first novel was out. Now she has three novels, a memoir, a children's book, and a new comedic take on menopause coming this spring. She joins Jocelyn Moore for a warm, wide-ranging conversation about writing, research, healing, relationships, and why there's never just one right way to do anything.

Second Chance Life: Near-Death at 7, the Air Force, PTSD & a Creative Empire Built From Purpose

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 01 Jul 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Peter Gunn died at seven years old from heat stroke, had a near-death experience complete with a life review and an angel who sent him back, and came home with prophetic gifts he learned to keep quiet. What followed across the next four decades: a childhood obesity battle he solved at the library, a bodybuilding career that started at 18, the U.S. Air Force, PTSD from a mortar strike in Afghanistan, a new poetic form he invented to bring poetry to Gen Z, an epic poem written for his daughter, and a band formed with strangers in Germany. Peter Gunn joins Jocelyn Moore for a second chance life story unlike anything this show has featured.

Peter shares:

✅ Near-death experience at age 7: the light body, the tunnel, the life review, the angel at the gate

Rage, Shame & the Cycle That Traps Men

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 17 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Jason Lange has spent over a decade helping men break out of the man box, the cultural pressure to be invulnerable, self-sufficient, and emotionally silent at any cost. As the founder of Evolutionary Men, he leads men's groups and coaches individuals through shadow work: the process of identifying the unconscious patterns and beliefs driving behavior men don't understand and can't seem to stop. He joins Jocelyn Moore for a wide-ranging conversation about dating authentically, the honeymoon phase myth, why rage is the only approved male emotion, what men's groups actually do, and why connection might be the most underrated medicine men have access to.

Jason shares:

✅ "Happy wife, happy life" vs. "fulfilled wife, happy life" — why the reframe matters
✅ Three out of four suicides are men — and male loneliness is as dangerous as smoking
✅ Interoception: why a man who can name his anger is 10,000 times safer to be around

Ryan T. Reichert served 23 years as a U.S. Army Lieutenant Colonel and spent most of that time using alcohol and prescription drugs to cope with what he was carrying.

Bypassing the Schools: Why the Best Dyslexia Help May Come From You, Not the Classroom

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 20 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Russell Van Brocklen has dyslexia and he turned the frustration of a system that failed him into one of the most effective and affordable dyslexia remediation methods in the country. His approach: don't teach reading, teach writing. Build it around the child's passions. Work in 10–15 minute sessions. One family's son went from the 11th percentile in reading to the 64th in five and a half months. He joins Jocelyn Moore to break down the neuroscience, the method, the myths, and why he's done waiting on school bureaucracy and going straight to parents instead.

Russell shares:

✅ Russell's own dyslexia journey: 15 credits of A-minus, then 15 credits of F same work

When You Stop Fighting: What It Takes to Build the Life You Want After Addiction

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 06 May 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Daryl Dittmer has been sober for 40 years since 18 days after his 19th birthday. He grew up on a farm, became a liar and a thief chasing addiction, entered recovery before he could legally drink, put himself through college as a first-generation student, built a business, retired at 48, and wrote two books in six months. His memoir When I Stopped Fighting and follow-up When You Stop Fighting cover the life and the lessons. He joins Jocelyn Moore to break it all down including the one sentence his sponsor Bud told him that changed the trajectory of everything.

Daryl shares:

✅ Growing up on the farm: dawn to dusk, $1.25 an hour, and a work ethic built to last

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Jessica Danel built a million-dollar childcare business in 2008, survived one of the first school shootings in American history in 1992, raised a daughter with open-heart needs, cerebral palsy, and autism, and walked away from it all to be present. Her memoir Bucket List from a Redneck Girl captures it exactly the way she talks raw, funny, and honest in a way most people don't dare to be in print. She joins Jocelyn Moore for a conversation that swings from laugh-out-loud to deeply moving and back again.

Jessica shares:

✅ Growing up "redneck" in a small California farming town and feeling less than

"I'm Too Busy to Think About Getting Old" | Why Dolly Parton at 80 Gets It Right

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 13:00:00 GMT

Dr. Corinne Auman expected to help 40-year-olds care for 70-year-old parents. Instead, she works with 70-year-olds caring for 90-somethings — proving our aging assumptions are decades behind reality. Her book Kienagers reframes older adulthood as a time of continued growth, not decline. From Medicare myths (it doesn't pay for long-term care) to ageism's cognitive dissonance (we separate "old people" from ourselves as if aging doesn't apply to us), this conversation exposes why society's retirement narrative is crushing people who still feel like they're in their prime.

Dr. Auman Shares:

✅ Why 70-year-olds are caring for 90-year-old parents — not 40s caring for 70s
✅ Ageism starts with your own thoughts — fight it from the inside
✅ Medicare doesn't pay for long-term care — 7 in 10 people will need it

From cold showers to financial literacy, this conversation dismantles psychiatry's broken model and offers real healing.

Black Fathers and Leadership: Community, Coaches, and Second Chances | MAJ Olaolu Ogunyemi

Jocelyn Moore — Wed, 11 Mar 2026 12:00:00 GMT

Getting Marines ready for inspection is easy, just give an order and they follow it. Getting your own kids ready for school on a Monday morning? That's the real battle, complete with attitudes, negotiations, and nine times out of ten, a lot more resistance than any drill sergeant ever faced. Major Olaolu Ogunyemi knows both worlds intimately: 12 years as a U.S. Marine Corps officer, leadership roles from platoon commander to company commander at Marine Corps Recruit Training, and now as a father navigating the chaos of raising children while building a legacy through Parent Child Connect, a platform designed to help parents, teachers, and mentors create teachable, memorable experiences.

This conversation dismantles the toxic myths around masculinity that tell young Black men they can't cry, can't show emotion, and must prove themselves through violence or aggression.

Olaolu Shares:

✅ The mental shift from blaming others to owning your life
✅ The societal expectation of masculinity and why boys need to cry
✅ Creating safe spaces for children to fail and build confidence
