Wavy Abstract Background

Founded in 2014, What The HECC emerged alongside the publication of the founder's book, which inspired individuals grappling with PTSD to heal, grow, and mature. This transformative journey has not only helped individuals but also brought families closer together. As Jae Byrd Wells, the CEO, embarked on her own path of healing, she pursued her passions for scriptwriting, acting, and directing.

What The HECC has evolved beyond a mere fan club for enthusiasts of her mermaid species, the Human Electric Cave Catfish, and has expanded its focus beyond the event planning services previously offered through Mid-Continental Events, LLC. Recognizing the need to grow, Jae has steered the company into new territories, embracing a broader creative vision that encompasses science fiction, inspirational themes, poetry, and beyond.

Today, What The HECC provides a vibrant platform for individuals to connect over films, music, media, radio, art, and much more. Our clothing brand has evolved to offer more than just merchandise focused on science fiction; it now features inspirational designs, mythic themes, gaming elements, art illustrations, and significant logos that resonate with our values.

At What The HECC, we are dedicated to promoting the profound impact of choice on mental health. We believe in the transformative nature of personal choice and how it can bring about positive changes in our lives. Join us as we harness the principles of HUMILITY, EVALUATE, CHOICE, and COMMITMENT to navigate life's unpredictable terrain.

Imagine yourself on a journey, scaling the towering dunes of uncertainty. The wind symbolizes life's challenges—it may push you back, but persistence is key. Here, we encourage you to approach each step with Humility, recognizing that every obstacle presents a chance to grow. We provide clarity to help you Evaluate your options amidst life’s swirling sands. With the power of Choice, we empower you to carve your own unique path, navigating change with confidence. Through steadfast Commitment, we help you stay the course, no matter how fierce the winds may blow.

Join us at What The HECC, where we believe that, just as the wind continues, so can you. Our forums and groups provide a space for you to connect with others on your quest to break free from victimhood and cultivate the courage to take control of your life. Wearing or showcasing our products adorned with the phoenix rising from the ashes logo empowers you by raising awareness about the importance of choice.

Our unique platform connects filmmakers, advertisers, and production teams with actors, models, and voice-over artists—all without charging any commission. Explore our extensive network and discover the perfect fit for your creative vision, while also enjoying projects by emerging talent and indie films.

Our goals are anchored in values such as honor, loyalty, respect, and self-care, all of which we recognize as vital for personal growth and well-being. We understand that life presents challenges that can affect mental health, but we believe in our ability to choose our responses and overcome obstacles.

We advocate moving away from harmful coping mechanisms in favor of healthier alternatives, fostering emotional strength and resilience. We reject the notion that victimhood excuses responsibility, instead promoting ownership of our lives and choices as essential to genuine healing and growth.

The phoenix in our logo symbolizes rebirth and transformation, reflecting our core belief in the power of personal growth and mental well-being. Another emblem, featuring a camel walking away from the well, highlights the importance of commitment. Through our programs and resources, we aim to empower individuals to make choices that lead to authentic, resilient, and fulfilling lives.

Join us, along with our founder Jae Byrd Wells, on this journey toward embracing the power of choice, overcoming challenges, and cultivating lives filled with happiness and well-being.

"Jae Wells’ very vivid imagination is put to good service for her sharp emotional
insight into her characters. A lot of thought and effort went into creating the world
these characters inhabit, but it’s all service of a strong emotional core. As part of a
longer story, I offer her my best wishes for her next volume.”

"Check it out!! Should Monty Python, Clive Cussler and David Baldaci meet in a
bar and decide to write a book; I think they would come up with this, The Tail
Begins."
