  • E533 - Corinna Dunn - Note To Self - Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath

    E533 - Corinna Dunn - Note To Self - Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath
    Feb 10 2026

    Episode 533 - Corinna Dunn - Note To Self - Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath

    Author Corinna Dunn joins host Dave on Living The Next Chapter to share her powerful memoir, Note to Self: Lessons on Trauma and Thriving in its Aftermath. Living in Virginia with her husband and four teenagers, Corinna also hosts the Melanin Wellness Podcast, a platform dedicated to Black women's wellness that resonates across diverse audiences. She opens up about transforming personal pain into purpose through writing, treating her book like a pregnancy, complete with the doubts of the first trimester, the creative flow of the second, and the daunting final push toward publication.


    Corinna describes the emotional challenge of discussing her trauma-filled story with her protective sons and husband, who remain unable to read the book despite purchasing it and her accompanying journal prompting cards as a show of support. Her youngest daughter, however, found it beautiful and affirming of her mother's strength. Reflecting on her unhealed family members, Corinna emphasizes understanding their perspectives without excusing the past, recognizing how unprocessed trauma often cycles through generations. Pre-healing, she lived in constant anger, frying bacon or folding laundry with simmering rage, until therapy unlocked grief and growth.


    Her husband witnessed her evolution from an angry protector, shaped by childhood neglect, to a blossoming, inspiring force. As a mother determined to overcompensate for her own lacks, Corinna raised children who instinctively ask, "What would Mom think?" before acting, a testament to her nurturing success. Therapy prevented her from becoming overprotective, especially with her two autistic children, teaching her to let them navigate the world while fostering decision-making skills through pros-and-cons discussions.


    The book serves as a conversational guide for healing, blending journaling, meditation, yoga, prayer, therapy, and hobbies to dismantle shame. Corinna urges survivors to show themselves compassion, unpack events with professional help to uncover protected memories, and reject blame, especially from family insiders who perpetrated or enabled harm. Feedback has been empowering, with readers appreciating the path to thriving she illuminates.


    Key Takeaway: You hold the strength to heal from trauma and claim the rich life you deserve. Start with one step, like journaling or therapy, knowing a vibrant future awaits on the other side.

  • E489 - Author Darlene Campos Shares the Amazing Story of Holocaust Survivor Pete Philipps

    E489 - Author Darlene Campos Shares the Amazing Story of Holocaust Survivor Pete Philipps
    Feb 10 2026

    EPISODE 489 - Author Darlene Campos Shares the Amazing Story of Holocaust Survivor Pete Philipps

    Hello! Hola! I'm Darlene P. Campos, an Ecuadorian-American author who is also a proud Houstonian.

    I earned my BA in English-Creative Writing with a Medicine and Society Studies minor from the University of Houston (Go Coogs!) and my MFA in Creative Writing from the University of Texas at El Paso (Go Miners!).

    I am the author of the young adult novels Behind Mount Rushmore, Summer Camp is Cancelled, and Heaven Isn't Me, traditionally published by Vital Narrative Press.

    Pete Philipps' Interview
    Pete grew up in Essen, a major industrial city on Germany’s Ruhr River. His father worked as a cattle hide dealer for an international trading company in nearby Mühlheim. His mother was a designer for a fashionable women’s dress shop. Pete, his younger twin brothers, and parents lived together in an apartment.

    1933–39: Pete had barely passed his first birthday when the Nazis came to power. His father realized the danger that now faced Jews in Germany, and the family left for Prague, Czechoslovakia in 1936. Pete attended Jewish school there, but the times were unsettling. In fall 1938, the Sudetenland, a region of Czechoslovakia, was incorporated into the Nazi Reich, and the following March, German troops marched into Prague. Shortly thereafter, Pete’s family left for Italy, where they settled in the Genoa suburbs. There, they were attacked by local antisemitic fascists. Soon after Germany invaded Poland in September 1939, the Philippses immigrated to Ecuador.

    1940–45: In Quito, the Philippses joined the growing colony of refugees from Germany. Pete attended a private boys’ school. His father set up business making margarine, while his mother did clothing alterations and knitting. In May 1941, just six months before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Philippses arrived in the United States. Pete’s father returned to his former company.

    After the war, Pete learned that his paternal grandmother, who had fled earlier to the Netherlands, had been deported to Auschwitz, where she perished. He completed his education and, after a tour of military duty in Germany, became a journalist for the New York Times.

  • E393 - Adam Nimoy - The Most Human, Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy

    E393 - Adam Nimoy - The Most Human, Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy
    Feb 21 2026

    Episode 393 - Adam Nimoy - The Most Human, Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy

    Adam was born during the Eisenhower administration to Leonard and Sandra Zoberblatt Nimoy. He attended the University Elementary School, a “lab school” run by UCLA, where he was subjected to numerous psychological experiments. The experimentation continued at UC Berkeley in the form of mind-altering substances from which he may, or may not, have fully recovered. In a state of absolute certainty, Adam attended Loyola Law School. He was wrong.

    After seven years of practicing entertainment law and one moment of clarity, Adam left his life as an attorney to follow his passion of making films. After directing forty-five hours of network television, some of it sublime, some of it eminently unwatchable, Adam’s career plummeted due in large part to drug and alcohol addiction. On January 1, 2004, Adam entered 12-Step recovery hoping to achieve an attitude adjustment. This was a New Year’s resolution he knew he had to keep. For 8 years, he taught writing, directing and acting at the New York Film Academy and taught filmmaking at Beit T’Shuvah, an addiction treatment center where the residents kept him on the straight and narrow.

    Book: The Most Human: Reconciling with My Father, Leonard Nimoy

    "Engaging and immensely relatable, while at the same time offering deeply profound insights into Adam Nimoy's personal relationships, particularly with his famous father." — Eugene Roddenberry Jr., CEO Roddenberry Entertainment

    Living with Dad was like living with a stranger— as a kid I often had trouble connecting and relating to him. But I was always proud of him. Even before Star Trek I'd see him popping up in bit roles on some of my favorite TV shows like Get Smart, Sea Hunt, and The Man From U.N.C.L.E. And then one night he brought home Polaroids of himself in makeup and wardrobe for a pilot he was working on.

    It was December 1964 and nobody had heard of Star Trek. Still, the eight-year-old me had watched enough Outer Limits and My Favorite Martian to understand exactly what I was looking at. Spock's popularity happened quickly, and soon the fan magazines were writing about dad's personal life, characterizing us as a "close family." But the awkwardness that defined our early relationship blossomed into conflict, sometimes smoldering, sometimes open and intense. There were occasional flashes of warmth between the arguments and hurt feelings— even something akin to love— especially when we were celebrating my father's many successes. The rest of the time, things between us were often strained.

    My resentment towards my father kept building through the years. I wasn't blameless, I know that now, but my bitterness blinded me to any thought of my own contribution to the problem. I wanted things to be different for my children. I wanted to be the father I never had, so I coached Maddy's soccer, drove Jonah to music lessons, helped them with their homework— all the things dads are supposed to do. All the things I wanted to do. So what if my Dad and I had been estranged for years? I was living one day at a time. And then I got his letter.
