There is a school district in Minnesota that had to deal with EIGHT suicides in two years. Eight!
The kids in America are NOT alright. The adults are not any better.
Our “connection” to our phones is more valuable than any connection to another… and WE ARE ALL SUFFERING.
I do not think I can reverse this trend, but I desperately want to try.
HRM HELPS LLC - FOUNDED BY HYLAN R. MCLAUGHLIN
A Space for Strength, Care,
and Personal Growth
HRM HELPS LLC is built upon the belief that every person deserves to feel safe, loved, resilient,
powerful, and bold. Life will test each of us, but support, reflection, and healthy human connection
can help all of us move forward with purpose, clarity, and confidence.
My name is Hylan McLaughlin and the only words I want to write are these. “I CARE.”
I care about you and I care about me. I care about the kids in this world and the future we will leave them. I care about the Earth and the Oceans and the Air we breathe and I care about the damage I see us doing. I look around the world today and I am concerned.
We, as individuals and as a whole, are not doing well. I don’t know if I can actually make a difference in any way, but I sure as heck am going to try. Everything I do and everything I offer in this website is because I CARE. I can offer nothing more and I refuse to offer anything less. I believe in you and I believe in me.
“If we can take good care of ourselves, we can take good care of this world.” This is my greatest hope, my dream, and all my efforts.
The Book That Started
a Deeper Conversation
“Swimming Backwards Upside-Down” is a short book that was published in 2014. The only reason this book was published was because I thought it would “be cool to publish a book.” I never really thought anyone would actually read the words, much less understand what I was trying to communicate. Then I met Rowan…
The story of Rowan and I is captured in the podcast.
However, Rowan is the reason I find any value in the words I wrote more than 10 years ago. In actuality, the book and the messages it conveys are much more relevant and important now than they were when originally published. And in many ways, the importance of the book in 2024 was the genesis of the podcast. However, the book is more than capable of standing on its own.
