Flourish As You Age: THRIVING IN TIMES OF STRUGGLE
What does it mean to flourish when the systems we depend on are under strain?
Flourish in Times of Struggle is a new podcast series for people who want to move beyond personal resilience and grapple with the deeper structures that shape our lives. In this opening episode, Michael C. Patterson introduces the series’ focus on systems, legitimacy, and collective action—and invites listeners to think together about how healthier, more democratic forms of governance might emerge.
Earlier Flourish As You Age podcasts focused more on personal change and development to promote brain health and mental management.

MIND - Our Confused Minds
Comments? Send me a text message.
Our minds become muddled with conflict and confusion when the two hemispheres of our brain fail to collaborate. The MIND OVER MUDDLE podcast series explores a range of historical and contemporary disciplines - from mysticism, to meditation, to psychedelics - that are effective when they are able to restore hemispheric balance and collaboration.
This episode introduces the series, articulating - in broad terms - how our minds get muddled and outline a strategy for effectively managing our minds. To paraphrase Alan Watts, we often need to get out of our heads to come back to our senses!
