Mark A. Turnipseed is a bisexual author, speaker, and wellness entrepreneur whose work is rooted in the radical belief that healing begins when we choose to live as our truest selves. Once a 230-pound suicidal heroin addict hiding his identity and drowning in shame, Mark has since rebuilt his life from the inside out—becoming an Ironman triathlete, a bestselling memoirist (My Suicide Race), and the cofounder and CEO of HALO42, a luxury skincare line that merges mental health and self-love with natural beauty. With a background in mental health counseling and lived experience across addiction, trauma, and LGBTQ+ identity, Mark brings a unique, deeply compassionate perspective to the personal development space. He speaks and writes candidly on topics like depression, sexuality, sobriety, fitness, faith, and the pursuit of inner peace. Mark’s coaching and content empower people to step into their full authenticity—to build what he calls an Empire of Self, where the mind, body, and spirit work together to illuminate purpose and possibility. Through his writing, talks, and HALO42 platform, Mark is on a mission to make healing contagious and help others feel safe in their skin—because self-acceptance isn’t just empowering, it’s life-saving.
