What if your depression is a love letter from your body telling you the character you've been playing is no longer you? Nick Freud shares how his own breakdown became the blueprint for Fellow Humans, a platform designed to scale the one thing that actually heals us: human connection.
Suffering is disconnection from self and other. Mitch Wallis joins me to unpack what it truly means to show up for someone in pain: why "Are you okay?" isn't enough, the five mistakes even the most caring supporters make, and why going toward the pain is the only real path to healing.
Construction workers build everything we depend on - and die by suicide at rates higher than any other industry. Aaron Witt of Buildwitt joins me to talk about the invisible sacrifice, why traditional mental health resources fail workers in the field, and why leaders going first changes everything.
After 22 years inside Apple, John Brown learned the hard way: the body always wins. In this conversation, we explore high-performance addiction, identity tied to achievement, and why building multiple "baskets" of self-worth, not just career success, is the real key to sustainable ambition and mental health.
A simple text - no agenda, no questions, just "thinking of you" - can be the lifeline someone never knew they needed. I speak with suicide attempt survivor Brandon Wilcox to break down the science and humanity of caring contacts, and why showing up imperfectly is always better than not showing up at all.

In this thought-provoking episode, I sit down with Dr. Selma Gaily-Luoma to explore the transformative role of agency in suicide prevention. Agency, defined as the sense of control and capacity to influence your thoughts, behaviors, and circumstances, is a cornerstone of psychological resilience. We delve into how fostering a sense of agency can be a powerful antidote to feelings of entrapment and despair that often accompany suicidal crises.
