Go Deeper

If this one hit home, that's the kind of conversation we go deeper on.

Doing the Work is a weekly Patreon segment where I share what I'm actually working through — the same kind of stuff Barbara Crampton and I just got into. You're invited to do the same. Come hang.

New conversation every Tuesday.

Barbara Crampton (Re-Animator, From Beyond) joins us this week to open up about her journey from cult horror icon to truth-seeking storyteller. Barbara shares what it was like growing up in a carny family, the fractured reality of her parents’ marriage, and how she eventually found closure with her father. We also talk about her early soap opera days, her breakout in horror classics, and her reflections on vulnerability, meditation, and balance. A deeply personal and inspiring look at a career built on truth and resilience.
