  Catching Big Fish: TM, Creativity & Authentic Living with Criss Cain 11.06.2026 31m

  In this episode, Donielle sits down with Criss Cain — tour photographer, videographer, podcast host, and right-hand person to rock legend Ann Wilson of Heart — to talk about how Transcendental Meditation found its way into his life and what's unfolded since.The conversation covers creative breakthroughs, the courage it takes to be authentic in a buttoned-up industry, and what it's like to warm up a sold-out arena crowd with stand-up comedy — all by staying effortlessly in the moment.The David Lynch thread Lynch's influence runs throughout the episode — from his MasterClass metaphor about fishing for ideas at different depths, to his famous quote: "Meditation makes you more and more you." Criss reflects on what that has meant in practice: more space, slower speech, more self-trust, and a low tolerance for inauthenticity in an industry full of it.In this episode you'll find:How a chance meeting over David Lynch sparked Criss's TM journeyThe morning routine (yes, it involves dancing to Britney Spears) that changed how he createsHow TM directly fueled the launch of his podcast After Dinner Thinks with Ann WilsonThe story of cold-emailing Ann Wilson's manager and nine years later walking her on and off stage every nightWhat it's like to do stand-up comedy in arenas with 15 minutes of prep — and why TM was his secret weaponWhat the mantra actually is (and why it having no meaning is the whole point)David Lynch's "ideas are like fish" metaphor and why it still resonates"If there's love, it's fine.

  When it comes to our first responders, few of us truly understand the toll it can take on not only their physical health, but their mental health and quality of life as well. Having to consistently respond to that level of disaster is a big ask for any nervous system. James Colford is no different. Having been born into a family of first responders, the job seemed like second skin to him at first.

As a Transcendental Meditation practitioner, he experienced firsthand the impact the practice can have on the stress, trauma, and cumulative toll associated with first responder work. That experience evolved into action, leading him to partner with the David Lynch Foundation to help bring Transcendental Meditation programs to fire departments and public safety agencies across California.In this episode:What does chronic stress look like for first responders and their families?Why mental health was long considered taboo in first responder culture.The mind-body connection — and how TM supports it on the jobDoes TM work even if you're a skeptic?Is there a noticeable difference on the days you do meditate versus the days you don’t?How can TM strengthen connection in first responder families?Fight-or-flight vs. parasympathetic state — and why it matters.How does TM compare to other meditations for chronic stress management?What does it look like to be able to meditate effortlessly and anywhere?
