Home of Misfits

Sometimes the people who look the strongest are carrying the heaviest things. In this episode of Home of Misfits, Daniel Sterling joins Sabine for an honest, unfiltered conversation about the stories people live behind, the things they avoid, and what happens when life finally forces a deeper look. This one is thoughtful, funny, uncomfortable at times, deeply human… and probably going to hit a ner...

What happens when two misfits skip the small talk and go straight into the real stuff? In this episode of Home of Misfits, Sabine sits down with Gregg “Triple G” Sheldon for a conversation filled with humor, horsepower, hard-earned wisdom, identity shifts, and one unforgettable phrase: “turd burglars.” From motorcycles and mechanics to boundaries, belonging, authenticity, and becoming comfortable...

This conversation contains strong language, real talk, and zero sugarcoating. Getting sober didn’t fix everything. Turns out… the patterns came along for the ride. In this brutally honest, funny, deep-as-hell conversation, Sabine and Australian psychotherapist Chad Taylor dive into unconscious patterns, relationships, accountability, fear, ego, addiction, parenting, and why humans keep repeating t...

⚠️ This conversation contains adult language, references to sex, drugs, abusive relationships, and a whole lot of unapologetic Gen X storytelling. In other words… definitely not a Disney movie. This episode feels less like an interview and more like sitting across from someone while they unpack the chapters that shaped them. From New York clubs and backstage passes to family expectations, abusive...

What happens when the dream you were taught to want no longer fits? In this episode of Home of Misfits, Stuart Jaffe joins Sabine Mann, PhD for a conversation about identity, performance, fiction, reality… and the strange feeling that modern life has gotten a little too artificial. Thoughtful. Sarcastic. A little existential. Very Gen X. Connect with Stuart Jaffe stuartjaffe.com author@stuartjaffe...

Control can feel like safety. Like structure. Like the one thing keeping everything from falling apart. …until it isn’t. In this episode, we’re not talking about getting it right. We’re talking about what happens when something doesn’t go the way you expected — and what that reveals about you. This is a real conversation about fear, resistance, and the quiet ways we hold ourselves back while think...

What if the problem was never that you didn’t fit… but that you were trying to fit at all? In this episode, I sit down with Aspry Jones — a creative mind who doesn’t quite stay in one lane… and doesn’t seem too bothered by that. We touch on curiosity, identity, and the quiet pull to question what most people just accept — without needing to turn it into a performance or a perfectly packaged answer...

“I lost my way… and I got really good at it.” Yeah. That part. Because this isn’t one of those neat, inspirational “and then everything made sense” stories. This is what happens when you grow up inside something that doesn’t make sense — and instead of fixing it… you learn how to function in it. Michael Miski talks about surviving in environments where truth is shaky, trust is optional, and decept...

Some people build their lives by choice. Others… build them from whatever didn’t break them. In this episode of Home of Misfits , I sit down with Sean Boyle for a conversation that doesn’t try to impress you — it meets you. At 18, his world didn’t gently shift… it cracked wide open. And suddenly, there’s no waiting, no easing in, no “when I’m ready.” Just reality… and the quiet, heavy truth: It’s...

You made it through. That was supposed to be the hard part.… wasn’t it? In this episode of Home of Misfits , I sit down with Connard Hogan — Vietnam veteran, former therapist, and someone who knows what it means to survive things that don’t neatly stay in the past. But this isn’t a story about war. And it’s not a story about healing, either. It’s about what happens after. After the chaos. After th...

What if the label you were given… was never the truth about you? In this episode of Home of Misfits , I sit down with Sam Mitchell — host of Autism Rocks and Rolls — for a conversation that goes beyond diagnosis, beyond success, and straight into identity. Because being called “different” doesn’t just shape how others see you… it shapes how you see yourself. We talk about what it’s like to grow up...

Truth warning: There’s some language in this episode. Because sometimes “nicely said” isn’t honestly said. What happens when you finally find your people… and still don’t fit? In this conversation, Heather Wood shares what it means to stand in your truth — even in spaces that are supposed to understand you. This isn’t about fitting in. It’s about what it costs to stop pretending. If you’ve ever fe...

Life doesn’t always ask for permission before it changes everything. In this episode, I sit down with Steve Gamlin — speaker, storyteller, and creator of the “Human-Plus-Sign” philosophy — for a real conversation about grief, resilience, and rebuilding when life takes an unexpected turn. This isn’t about quick fixes or highlight reels. It’s about the messy middle… and what it looks like to keep go...

What if your lowest point… wasn’t the end of your story — but the beginning of who you were meant to become? Some conversations don’t shout for attention… they shift something in you. In this episode of Home of Misfits, I sit down with Kiera Walker for a deeply honest conversation about what it means to move through life’s hardest moments — and come out changed. Not polished. Not perfect. But real...

Fair warning: This episode includes strong language and zero sugarcoating. If colorful words aren’t your jam, you might want to sit this one out. Everyone else — welcome to the real conversation. The problem wasn’t her life. It was where she was looking. This conversation doesn’t rush. It unfolds. We explore what it means to live through seasons that don’t neatly begin or end—but evolve. From care...

What happens when someone trained to follow the rules starts questioning them? Sometimes the people inside the system are the first to start asking uncomfortable questions. In this episode of Home of Misfits , Dr. Sabine “Queen of Shift” Mann talks with Jude Solano , a registered nurse whose life experiences led her to look at people, healing, and the world from a very different perspective. This...

Sometimes the most powerful stories aren’t the ones told in the spotlight. In this episode of Home of Misfits , I sit down with my friend Priscilla , whose life journey includes military life as a spouse, hands-on healing, and now writing a book about the experiences many military families quietly carry. We first met years ago in Bamberg, Germany… and somehow life brought us back together again he...

If you’ve ever felt like you didn’t quite fit anywhere… this episode is for you. In this solo episode, Dr. Sabine Mann shares the story behind Home of Misfits — how it came to life, why it exists, and what it truly means to be a “misfit.” This isn’t about labels, rebellion, or being broken. It’s about belonging. Sometimes the problem isn’t you. Sometimes the room you were standing in was simply to...

What if the things that made you feel different were never flaws — but part of the design? In this episode of Home of Misfits , I sit down with my son Tim for a grounded and honest conversation about identity, creativity, accessibility, and impact.
