Four Names for Thunder

You can’t outrun physics. Eventually, the thunder catches up.

Four Names For Thunder™ is a podcast for the "Delayed Warriors"—the high-functioning adults who spent decades outrunning their past, only to find the storm waiting for them in the second half of life.

Hosted by Matthew Hearn—a healthcare leader, nurse, and survivor—this show maps the "Late Harvest" of recovery. It explores how to navigate childhood trauma when you have a career, a family, and a reputation to uphold.

WHAT TO EXPECT This isn't just a retelling of the past; it is a field guide for your future.

While the show is built on the hard-won truths of Matthew’s memoir, Four Names For Thunder, our focus is 100% on YOUR recovery. We take the raw themes of the book—trauma, silence, and resilience—and transform them into practical tools you can use today.

THE INSIGHT We explore the "Late Harvest" of healing, breaking down how childhood trauma shows up in our careers, marriages, and health decades later.

THE AFTERSHOCK™ In special companion segments, we use AI-generated analysis to deconstruct these topics even further, offering a new, objective perspective on the psychology of survival.

We move beyond the "why" and get to the "how." From the science of how the body remembers trauma to the practical tools for finding your voice, this is your roadmap from the cool blue of fear into the warm gold of resilience.

The storm may have started years ago, but the healing begins now.

Speak Louder Than The Storm™.
