Mike Needs a Plan

I lost 110 pounds, but I"m most proud of keeping it off. Together, we"re going to do the same thing. How do we do the same thing? By not doing the same things we"ve been doing. That means we"ll need a plan -- yes, including me. I don"t know everything, and if you"re living this life right, you shouldn"t, either. It"s not about diets, it"s not about exercise, it"s about healing the mind. Build your plan with me, Mike Pridgen! Be kind to yourself! Join the free community Discord and connect with me

Good luck, everyone

Mike Needs a Plan ·

2025/01/20

I wrote and recorded this comedy piece, titled "We Love The Year 2000!" for a sketch comedy album I was working on in 2020. It's from the perspective of a dreamer in the far-gone past making hopeful -- and ultimately ill-fated -- predictions about our future. Every day, I hope it stops being satire. Good luck, everyone.

You Can't Get The Time Back

Mike Needs a Plan ·

2025/01/15

Throughout my life, I didn't do enough for myself. Any time I faced resistance in pursuit of self care or wish fulfillment, I'd take it as a sign that the thing I wanted wasn't meant for me.

This past weekend, I pushed past it all to do something good for myself. To prove to myself I'm not destined to press my nose against the glass of life forever. I want you to do

Mike Needs a Plan ·

2024/11/20

I'm about to starve my cat. The vet said she's too fat, so we have to put her on a special diet and bring her out to exercise and whatnot. But that sounds complicated and expensive so I think I'm just going to stop feeding her. If you're a normal person, that paragraph upset you.
