Why You NEED the Make Peace With Life Podcast in Your Life

Why You NEED the

Make Peace With Life Podcast in Your Life


Metaphysics, Humor, Life, Music, Travel, Weird Stuff—and Absolutely No Requirement That You Have Everything Figured Out

There are approximately a gazillion podcasts available today.

Some will teach you about investing. Some will tell you how to become more productive. Some will explain the mysteries of the universe. And we're fairly certain at least 37,000 involve two people sitting in front of microphones discussing something they could have covered in six minutes.

So why should you be listening to the Make Peace With Life Podcast™?

Because life is weird—and we think your podcast should be too.

We Talk About the Stuff We Actually Think About

The Make Peace With Life Podcast™ lives somewhere between metaphysics, spirituality, self-improvement, humor, travel, music, relationships, history, unexplained mysteries, and those bizarre thoughts that suddenly enter your brain while you're standing in the shower.

One episode might have us talking about manifestation, chakras, energy, meditation, ghosts, intuition, or consciousness.

Another might take us into Bigfoot, sacred travel, haunted pubs, crystal skulls, music, national parks, football, aliens, or why being normal might be incredibly overrated.

And somewhere along the way, we might ask whether your dog is actually more spiritually evolved than you.

We're not ruling it out.

The point is that metaphysics doesn't have to be heavy, intimidating, or something you can only discuss while sitting cross-legged beside a Himalayan salt lamp.

We want to explore the big questions of life while still having a ridiculously good time doing it.

Then There Are the Shortcasts

Don't have time for an entire podcast?

That's exactly why we created our Make Peace With Life Shortcasts™.

These are shorter dives into one interesting idea—something you can listen to when you want a quick dose of inspiration, curiosity, humor, or metaphysical weirdness without committing to a full-length episode.

Think of them as metaphysical espresso shots.

Quick.

Interesting.

Occasionally strange.

And hopefully they leave your brain saying:

“Huh... I never thought about it that way.”

We Don't Pretend to Have All the Answers

This might be one of the most important parts of the podcast.

We're exploring right along with you.

Metaphysics is filled with enormous questions about consciousness, energy, spirituality, existence, death, synchronicity, intuition, manifestation, and what—if anything—might exist beyond the physical world.

We aren't interested in telling you exactly what you must believe.

We want you to think.

Question things.

Explore possibilities.

Laugh.

Challenge your assumptions.

Listen to different perspectives.

And decide what makes sense in your life.

Sometimes making peace with life isn't about finally discovering all the answers.

It's about becoming comfortable exploring the questions.

And Did We Mention FREE SHIRTS?

Now we're getting serious.

Or at least as serious as we get.

For every 100 subscribers to the Make Peace With Life YouTube channel, we're going to give away a Make Peace With Life™ T-shirt to one lucky member of our growing community.

That means:

100 subscribers = shirt giveaway.

200 subscribers = another shirt giveaway.

300 subscribers = yep, another one.

And onward we go.

We're building more than an audience. We want to build a community of people who enjoy exploring life, laughing at its absurdities, asking unusual questions, and maybe wearing a really cool shirt while doing it.

Your Life May Be Missing Something...

Maybe you already have music.

Maybe you have your favorite streaming shows.

Maybe you've got your morning coffee.

Maybe you've got exercise, travel, books, sports, friends, family, hobbies, and whatever other things keep your personal Energy Pool filled.

But ask yourself one important question:

Do I have enough metaphysics, humor, weirdness, curiosity and positive energy in my life?

If the answer is no...

We know a podcast.

The Make Peace With Life Podcast™ isn't about escaping your life.

It's about looking at your life from different angles.

It's about recognizing the spiritual in everyday experiences.

It's about finding meaning without losing your sense of humor.

And sometimes it's simply about spending a little time talking about something wonderfully strange.

So subscribe. Listen to the Podcast. Check out the Shortcasts. Join our growing community. And when something makes you laugh, think, question, or see your life a little differently—share it with somebody else.

Because you've already got enough serious stuff in your life.

Maybe what you need is a little more curiosity.

A little more positive energy.

A little more laughter.

A little more metaphysics.

And perhaps...

a Make Peace With Life™ T-shirt.

Come join us.

Your ears will thank you.

Your consciousness might thank you.

And the Universe?

We're pretty sure it's already subscribed.

🎙️ Listen. Laugh. Question. Explore. Make Peace With Life™.

The Messy Writer: Creating Stories When Your Brain Has 47 Tabs Open

  Waste Can with Krumbled Up Papers


The Messy Writer:

Creating Stories When Your Brain Has 47 Tabs Open


What if you aren't a bad writer? What if you're just a messy one?

Writing advice often assumes you're a writer with consistent energy, uninterrupted time, endless motivation, and a brain that stays focused on one project at a time. But what happens when that's not true?

In The Messy Writer, K. E. Koontz explores the realities of creating with: 

  • ADHD,
  • chronic illness, 
  • disability, 
  • brain fog, 
  • hyperfixation,
  • and a tendency to collect unfinished stories.

Through personal stories and practical strategies, she challenges the idea that there is only one right approach to creativity. 

Learn how to work with your energy instead of against it, navigate brain fog, return to abandoned drafts, adapt your writing process to your body, and build a creative system that can bend when life gets messy so you don't have to break. 

If you have ever felt like traditional writing advice wasn't built for their brain, The Messy Writer offers a different way forward. Perfect for readers of How to Keep House While Drowning, The Anti-Planner, and Big Magic.

The Beautiful One

      Snap shots of Egypt on a table


The Beautiful One


In 1912, Asim and Chione, a young Egyptian couple, are enthralled by the discovery of the Queen Nefertiti sculpture bust. Asim becomes the official photographer of the excavation, while Chione assists archaeologist Herr Borchardt as a translator. They all embark on a journey to Berlin, a city brimming with possibilities.

Chione embraces newfound social freedoms; becomes an active women’s suffrage advocate; and secures a job with a leading importer of ancient artifacts. Asim joins an emerging Expressionist art group as an assistant photographer at the prestigious Berlin Museum. In the vibrant atmosphere of Berlin, they unknowingly become entangled in an illicit trade of smuggled Egyptian artifacts and mystical amulets.

Their lives take a dramatic turn when Asim is unexpectedly arrested for murder, setting off a chain of events that leads to the kidnapping of Chione. Their friends join forces to uncover the secrets of the gang and reveal the true killer.

This captivating tale blends historical facts with a touch of the fantastical. Against the backdrop of a transforming century, Asim and Chione navigate Berlin's vibrant society while pursuing their desires, dreams, and the enduring quest for truth.

With a blend of authenticity and imagination, this narrative immerses readers in a world of romance, mystery, and adventure. It invites exploration of the power of human connection and the eternal pursuit of immortality at the turn of a new century.

An era filled with fantastic discoveries made in science, medicine, engineering, and the arts. It is an engaging amateur sleuth, romantic mystery.

The Great Alliance: Terminus Book 1: (Terminus, A Young Adult Science-Fiction Series)

 Woman with a Lazer Gun and Man with Glowing Fist


The Great Alliance: Terminus Book 1:

(Terminus, A Young Adult Science-Fiction Series)


Praise for the Fantasy Prequel Series Dynasty: “A wild romp in the best traditions of fantasy fiction. Action, adventure, and plenty of exciting surprises - I’ve read it twice before it was even published! Derek is a welcome new voice in fantasy fiction, and I genuinely look forward to seeing more of his output in the future.” -- Randal Graham, Author of the "Beforelife" Trilogy "A fun and often humorous adventure with a likeable hero. Moral dilemmas, twists and turns, and a fast, exciting read!" -- Michael A. Ventrella, Author of "Big Stick" and "Terin Ostler and the Axes of Evil" "The start of a wondrous story about trust, sacrifice and the eternal and universal thirst for power." -- Editor's Review for Terminus: The Great Alliance Majestrix Sarah Cayale never wanted to be a politician. As the most powerful superhuman alive, she'd rather be in the field breaking bones than stuck in endless senate sessions – much to her Protective Detail's horror.
But a deathbed promise bound her to the Great Alliance, a democratic union of seventy vulnerable worlds on the verge of cosmic chaos, as its leader. Her daughter Sonyia, fresh into her career as a Justice Officer, wears her badge with pride, determined to prove that she's more than just the Majestrix's daughter – if only she didn't have to keep worrying about being a political liability.
But when she and her partner, Alex Jennings, are faced with a nuclear bomb on their first patrol, Sonyia might get her chance after all. The two young Royals awaken a new power that might make them the galaxy's most unpredictable variables, while putting them squarely in the crosshairs of forces Sarah never saw coming.
Now, as one fights in the halls of power and the other in the chaos those halls create, both mother and daughter hold the fate of the galaxy in their hands. Unfortunately, things are about to get apocalyptic.
This is the first volume in an epic series novelizing the greatest television series that never was! It’s like binge-watching a galactic space opera, but on paper, with zero buffering! Fans of Star Wars and John Scalzi will love this sci-fi epic!

Why You Should Be Listening to the Make Peace With Life Podcast

  Podcast Logo with mountains and a microphone


 

Why You Should Be Listening to the Make Peace With Life Podcast

There are approximately 47 billion podcasts in the world.

Okay, I made that number up.

But some days it certainly feels like it.

So why should you add the Make Peace With Life Podcast to your listening list?

Because we're trying to do something a little different. We aren't here to convince you that your life is completely screwed up and that you need seventeen steps, nine supplements, three seminars, and a retreat on a mountain to fix yourself.

Our message starts somewhere much simpler:

You are not broken.

You might be confused sometimes. You might be stressed. You might make questionable decisions. You may occasionally walk into a room and completely forget why you're there.

Welcome to being human.

And that's exactly what we talk about.

Metaphysics Without Taking Ourselves Too Seriously

The Make Peace With Life Podcast explores the strange, wonderful, frustrating, funny, spiritual, energetic, and occasionally completely ridiculous adventure of being alive.

We talk about metaphysics, happiness, energy, relationships, spirituality, personal growth, music, travel, mysteries, everyday observations, and those weird little things about life that make you stop and think:

"Wait... why DO we do that?"

One episode might have us talking about positive energy and finding happiness.

Another might take us into Crystal Skulls, Bigfoot, national parks, the energy of crowds, or why relaxing can somehow become exhausting.

That's the beauty of Making Peace With Life.

Everything is connected.

And sometimes the deepest spiritual revelation arrives while you're stuck in traffic, standing in the slowest grocery-store checkout line, listening to a song you haven't heard in twenty years, or staring at a lava lamp.

Enlightenment apparently has a strange sense of humor.

We're Not Trying to Give You a Perfect Life

Perfect lives sound incredibly boring.

We'd rather help you find the extraordinary energy already hiding inside your imperfect life.

The Make Peace With Life philosophy isn't about eliminating every problem.

It's about changing your relationship with life.

Laugh more.

Explore more.

Question things.

Be curious.

Notice energy.

Stop comparing yourself to everybody else.

Find the things that make you feel alive.

And maybe become a little more comfortable with the beautifully weird person you already are.

If you finish an episode feeling a little happier, thinking about something differently, or laughing about something you hadn't considered before...

We've done our job.

But We Need Your Help

Here's where you become part of this.

We want to grow the Make Peace With Life community and get this message in front of as many people as possible.

And one of the easiest ways you can help is completely FREE.

Subscribe to the Make Peace With Life Podcast on YouTube.

Subscribe to the Make Peace With Life Podcast on YouTube

Every new subscriber helps us reach another person.

And another.

And another.

That's how energy spreads.

One person shares something with another person, who shares it with someone else, and suddenly a little idea becomes a movement.

We'd like to see just how big we can make this thing.

Subscribe and You Could Win a Make Peace With Life Shirt!

FREE Shirt offer with Hippie Wearing a Make Peace With Life Shirt

We're also adding a little incentive.

Because apparently positive metaphysical energy is even better when you're wearing it.

When you subscribe to our YouTube podcast channel, you're automatically entered for a chance to win a Make Peace With Life shirt.

And this isn't just one giveaway.

Every time we reach another 100 subscribers, we're giving away another shirt!

100 subscribers?

Shirt.

200?

Another shirt.

300?

You guessed it.

Another shirt.

As this community grows, we want the giveaways to grow right along with it.

So subscribe, stick around, enjoy the podcast, and you might eventually be walking around spreading Make Peace With Life energy directly from your chest.

That's metaphysical advertising right there.

And We Have Something Special for Our Author Friends

FREE Book Promotion Offer image of book and microphone

Authors, we've got something extra for you.

Make Peace With Life works alongside our book-promotion company, Book Promotion Library, and we want to help our fellow authors while growing the podcast community.

So we're offering FREE BOOK PROMOTION to authors who subscribe to the Make Peace With Life Podcast.

Yes.

FREE.

  4. Once we verify your podcast subscription, we'll set up your free book promotion and send you the details.

That's it.

No metaphysical scavenger hunt.

No secret password.

No need to align your chakras while holding your book toward the full moon.

Subscribe. Send us your information. We'll take it from there.

Come Join This Crazy Little Community

Ultimately, the Make Peace With Life Podcast isn't just about building subscriber numbers.

It's about building connection.

We want people who believe life can be meaningful without always being serious.

People who are willing to explore spirituality without pretending they have every answer.

People who believe laughter has energy.

People who enjoy asking strange questions.

People who want more happiness, adventure, connection, curiosity, and fun in their lives.

And especially people who occasionally need someone to remind them:

You are not broken.

You are living.

You are learning.

You are changing.

You are figuring things out like the rest of us.

So come listen.

Come laugh.

Come think.

Come get a little metaphysical with us.

Subscribe. Share the podcast with your friends. Help us spread the message. And let's see just how big we can make this community.

Because maybe the world doesn't need another podcast telling everyone what's wrong with them.

Maybe it needs one reminding them how much is already right.
