Send us a text The highlight reel doesn’t show the cost. Eric Mark Fisher went from an eight-year run in professional baseball to producing films in Los Angeles, stacking wins that looked impressive from the outside. Underneath, surgeries, lawsuits, back pain, and volatile family dynamics collided with a relentless drive that had no brakes. Alcohol didn’t arrive as a stereotype; it crept in as “one more” and became a progressive escape until a terrifying psychotic break, a hospital wristband,...

Not as a seasonal trend, but as a daily habit that steadies your mood, supports better sleep, and helps you carry hard days with more grace.
