Connect With Jody

In this Midweek Deep Dive, Jody Brooks sits down with author and former US Navy veteran Kristof Morrow to explore how awareness, trauma and creativity intertwine in messy midlife. Kristof’s journey spans childhood abuse, violent addiction in the family, his own alcoholism, Tourette's, chronic illness, immigration, divorce and a long period of despair. He shares how a single phone call in Canada,  telling him no one would hire him because of his condition, led him to pick up the pen again and begin a rebirth through writing.
 
 Together, Jody and Kristof talk about what a midlife ‘crisis’ really is, the difference between trying to fit in and finding your place in the world, and why he believes our greatest virtue as humans is the desire to understand and be understood. You’ll hear powerful reflections on surrender, sobriety, kindness as a weapon of compassion, and the discipline of writing 1,000 words a day to stay connected to self.
