Real words from real Merriment Makers
Cheaper Than Therapy
★★★★★
These are the kind of tools that people go to therapy for. For most people, actual therapy is not accessible in the way that this is. The tools you can learn are things you would get in that setting. I think that in itself is worth it to me.

Only Membership I’ve Kept
★★★★★
There’s so many memberships out there. Most I dip out after 1–3 months. But I’ve kept my membership for 6 years. The community is so refreshing! Others who embrace their authentic weirdness. My life is honestly so much brighter.

You Could Stay for Years
★★★★★
I don’t think it’s obvious the depth of information and resources that are actually in this group on the outside. If you interact with people, this can be as immersive as you want it to be. You could go for years and just deep dive into all the stuff.

So Much to Offer!
★★★★★
I don’t know if there’s even any other groups out there that exist like this. Having the ability to go beyond their own internal work and do some one on one coaching; if that’s something they need for a particular point in their life.

Why Having A Positive Attitude Isn’t Bullshit

Last week, an article called "'Positive Attitude' Bullshit: On The Dangers Of 'Radical Self Love'" was published, and it really made me feel bad. It focuses on figures like Oprah Winfrey, and one of my personal heroes, Gala Darling, who preach self-love to the masses....

Why Comfortable Shoes Are an Underrated Form of Self-Love

We invest considerable time and resources into nourishing our minds and bodies, yet we often overlook the literal foundation that carries us through every single day: our feet. Every step you take transfers immense physical force upward through your ankles, knees,...

A Wheelchair That Fits Your Weird, Wonderful Life

Nine times out of ten, the wheelchair someone shows up with doesn't fit them. I don't mean slightly off. I mean the seat is three inches too deep and their knees are floating in space. The first thing I ask when a demo shows up at the shop is not "how does it ride."...

HVAC Sizing: Why Bigger Units Can Leave Your Home Uncomfortable

I once watched a homeowner pay about 1,800 dollars to rip out a three year old air conditioner. Nothing was broken. The unit was simply too big for the house, and no one caught it before the install day. The compressor cycled on and off like a porch light on a windy...

What Should You Look For In Dust Extractor For Efficient Dust Control In Workshops?

Sanding creates fine dust that can spread through your workshop, settle on fresh finishes, and enter your lungs. A face covering alone cannot keep dust off your work surfaces or control dust across the whole workspace. Good dust control starts at the tool. OSHA...

What Hidden Building Materials Can Mean for the Safety and Planning of Demolition Work

Buildings often contain materials that are difficult to identify from their finished surfaces. Behind painted walls, beneath flooring, and above ceilings, older construction products and concealed systems may remain unnoticed for decades. These hidden conditions can...
