i minus i - Invidious

i minus i

Practical tools for navigating major life transitions—divorce, job loss, identity crises, and moments when everything falls apart.

This channel offers research-backed methods for finding stability when life feels chaotic. Not positive thinking. Not quick fixes. Real resilience that doesn't depend on circumstances staying the same.

You'll find:
→ Emotional stability practices for crisis states
→ The C.A.L.M. Method for navigating transitions
→ Identity reconstruction after loss
→ Distinguishing inherited patterns from authentic choice

I'm Mike Barden, a Wisconsin writer who developed these approaches through divorce, job loss, and community dissolution.
