Episode 0070 Michaela

The Old Rucker sits down with digital creator, speaker, and author Michaela Mulroe to discuss resilience, identity, and living authentically with Treacher Collins syndrome. Michaela shares how she transformed years of feeling different, mental health struggles, and public scrutiny into a platform built around confidence, advocacy, and purpose through her upcoming book Unconditionally Confident and her new venture, Unconditionally Confident Solutions. The conversation moves from deeply personal moments including a mental health crisis that became a turning point to humor, faith, disability advocacy, family support, and the power of rewriting your own narrative. With honesty, humor, and perspective, Michaela delivers a grounded message about self-worth, service, and refusing to let circumstances define who you become.

Unconditionally Confident” via Amazon. Pre-order available 23 June. Release date is 4 August.

Episode 0060 Barry Writing in Recovery

In this episode the Old Rucker sits down with Arkansas writer and farmer Barry Brown for a wide ranging conversation about creativity, therapeutic writing, and finding meaning through storytelling. Barry shares how ideas born during his time in prison eventually turned into books, essays, and children’s stories, and explains how curiosity, research, and life experience fuel his writing process. The discussion dives into identity, personal growth, and the difference between living by performance versus purpose, while also exploring practical tools like “morning pages” for unlocking creativity and processing life’s challenges.
