Uncorking A Story

Let help uncork your memoir through a 12 week memoir mentorship program: https://mikecarlon.com/memoir-cohorts/ “I didn’t write The Waiting Room — it came through me. In the middle of grief, in the middle of the night, the story wouldn’t let me rest until I let it out.” In this special episode, the tables turn: Amazon Bestseller and Uncorking a Story host Mike Carlon becomes the guest. Interviewed by author Janet Ettele in front of a live audience, Mike opens up about the deeply personal origins of The Waiting Room, a novel that came to him during illness, insomnia, and profound grief. He shares the spiritual experiences that shaped the story, the losses of his mother and brother that changed him, and the strange, unexplainable “downloads” that guided the writing. Along the way, we explore hospice miracles, near-death visions, humor as a survival tool, creativity as healing, and what it means to live fully while learning how to let goo.
