The highlight reel doesn’t show the cost. Eric Mark Fisher went from an eight-year run in professional baseball to producing films in Los Angeles, stacking wins that looked impressive from the outside. Underneath, surgeries, lawsuits, back pain, and volatile family dynamics collided with a relentless drive that had no brakes. Alcohol didn’t arrive as a stereotype; it crept in as “one more” and became a progressive escape until a terrifying psychotic break, a hospital wristband, and a vow in a quiet hotel room forced a different path.
We dig into what it takes to rebuild a life from the inside out. Eric shares how inpatient detox introduced him to vulnerability as strength, how studying Jung, Rogers, and modern psychology helped him name the shadows he’d been avoiding, and why identity must be rooted in principles rather than titles. We unpack the difference between perception and perspective, the trap of white‑knuckle 30‑day challenges, and the power of starting so small you can’t fail. And by applying practical tools such as journaling, you can help yourself create sustainable change.
Wellness here isn’t a trend; it’s a lifestyle. We talk health span over lifespan, simple nutrition that actually works, daily movement you’ll keep, and sleep as non‑negotiable. More importantly, we explore how to author your future with clarity: map your aims, choose tradeoffs on purpose, and build momentum through tiny, repeatable wins. Eric now coaches clients through lifestyle design and addiction recovery, turning hard‑earned lessons into a path others can walk with fewer detours and more grace.
