What High-Functioning Survival Actually Looks Like in Women |Lisa Lacy

Lisa Lacy is a writer, trauma educator, and author of the upcoming memoir Notes From a Certified Madwoman and its companion Field Guide for Survival, Healing, and Self Understanding. After more than three decades in corporate education, healthcare consulting, performance, and storytelling, Lisa now speaks and writes about addiction, psychosis, trauma, nervous systems, identity masking, reinvention, and the hidden realities of high functioning survival in women. Drawing from lived experience, recovery, and years teaching trauma informed emotional intelligence in addiction recovery centers across Georgia, Lisa creates conversations that are psychologically informed without sounding clinical, emotionally honest, unexpectedly funny, and deeply human.

From Rock Star to Prosecutor: Gregg Owen on Law, Music, & Tech 

Criminal Attorney, Rock Musician, Tech Entrepreneur, Author 

I’m a former Chicago murder prosecutor who took a very unusual path to the courtroom.

Before law school, I was a touring rock musician who performed across the Midwest and opened shows for bands like The Doors. But a personal turning point led me to leave music, cut my hair, and apply for an internship with the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office.

Within a few years I was prosecuting murder cases in Chicago’s 26th and California courthouse, eventually trying more than sixty jury trials — most of them homicides.

My book Convergence tells the true story of a brutal double murder that was solved in days but didn’t go to trial for four years. The case unfolded in the middle of a courthouse culture so corrupt it would later trigger the FBI’s historic Operation Greylord investigation.

Today I share the behind-the-scenes realities of homicide trials, courtroom corruption, and the strange path that took me from rock stages to murder prosecutions.

Umay Acar-Sümer |Writer and Composer of ‘Beowulf the Musical

Bio:

Umay Acar-Sümer is a Turkish singer and composer based in Hampshire, UK. Having completed an MA in Medieval Studies and MMus in Music Composition at Royal Holloway, Umay draws inspiration from medieval literature and history in her writing. She is the writer and composer of ‘Beowulf the Musical’, a two-act musical made up of 35 song based on the medieval epic poem Beowulf. ‘Beowulf the Musical’ premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2024 with Umay playing the role of Freawaru; the musical is now set to release an album with many of the original cast and orchestra members reprising their roles. Umay’s writing influences include late medieval authors like Geoffrey Chaucer, Sir Thomas Malory and Chrétien de Troyes as well as anonymous poems from the Anglo-Saxon period such as The Wanderer, The Battle of Maldon and The Seafarer. Musically she is inspired by contemporary composers such as Alan Menken, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Lin Manuel Miranda and Anais Mitchell as well as the works of Handel, Verdi, Mozart and Strauss. Umay is currently working on her next musical; a sapphic fairytale about a girl with a magical harp teaming up with a disgraced knight to defeat a dragon.

Inside "Idling High" with Artist Jake Cassman 

Jake Cassman refuses to make false choices. He crafts sharp, thought-provoking lyrics rooted in the Americana tradition without losing the drive and edge of indie rock. Onstage, he moves effortlessly between dark, gut-busting humor and disarming vulnerability. Shaped both by California dreams and east coast grit, Cassman arrives with his remarkable debut solo album Idling High—a record that channels “a sound that feels both urgent and timeless, recalling Tom Petty, Counting Crows, and Jason Isbell” (Rock The Pigeon).
