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.
One training isn't enough to change mental health culture. You need a tipping point. Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas and workplace wellness expert Laura Putnam reveal how "well-being multipliers", empowered team leaders, create ripple effects that transform organizations from the middle out, team by team, person by person.
After losing her father to suicide, Julia Hassell set out to understand a question many of us quietly carry: why do some wounds never fully heal?
What she discovered changed everything.
In this conversation, Julia shares how trauma lives in the body, not just the mind, and why traditional approaches like talk therapy can sometimes leave people feeling stuck. She introduces brainspotting, a powerful, body-based method that helps process trauma beyond words, and explores how healing often requires integrating neuroscience, somatic work, and spirituality.

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.
