My bestfriend and I were in New York City for a weekend, and we wanted to go out and have some fun. After doing some research, we found out that the creators of HIMYM (How I Met Your Mother) had based the bar featured in the show off of a very real bar in New York, so we decided to go. We had no idea what we were getting ourselves into. When we got there, the place was packed! We ended up drinking with the creators of HIMYM (Carter Bays and Craig Thomas) and had a blast. It was one of the pinnacle highlights of my life to date, and this is that story!
Hello,
I’m Matthew
Welcome to the Unfiltered Mind of Matthew Heneghan.
I’m a former Canadian Armed Forces medic (1 Field Ambulance) and civilian paramedic who traded the siren for the pen. After fifteen years on the front lines and a diagnosis of PTSD, I realized that the only way out of the wreckage was through the story.
I am the author of A Medic’s Mind and Trauma and Tea, and the host of the podcast MatthewHeneghan: Unfiltered. This blog is my “fuck you” to the hustle—a space to breathe between the plays and find the magic in the quiet, grit-covered moments of trauma recovery, veteran advocacy, and resilience.
If you’re tired of the “paper value” of society and looking for real-life stories on hitting rock bottom and climbing back up, you’re in the right place. Explore the archives, hear the podcast, and let’s find the space to breathe together.
