Music can be a great way to calm the nervous system when the body is experiencing stress. For this week create a playlist of calming songs that you can quickly go to when feeling stressed, anxious or need to disconnect for a minute to recenter yourself.
In Season 2, Episode 04 of the podcast, Danny sits down with an extraordinary guest, Kevin Hines, who shares a harrowing yet inspiring journey of survival, mental health, and the transformative power of pain. Kevin, one of the few survivors of a suicide attempt off the Golden Gate Bridge, dives deep into his experience, the instant regret he felt the moment after his jump, and his ongoing battle with mental health challenges.
Kevin's story is a poignant reminder of the despair that can drive individuals to contemplate suicide, clouded by the belief that their loved ones would be better off without them. He speaks candidly about the darkness that led him to the bridge and the miraculous second chance at life he received after surviving the 746-foot fall.
This episode goes beyond Kevin's personal saga, touching on the broader impact of suicide on families and communities. He emphasizes the "ripple effect" of grief and pain that spreads far beyond the immediate circle, challenging the societal urge to "snap out of" mourning. Kevin also highlights the significance of simple acts of compassion, like asking someone, "Are you okay?" and the monumental effort to install a suicide prevention net on the Golden Gate Bridge, a testament to the collective will to save lives.
Join us for a deeply moving conversation that weaves together threads of despair, hope, resilience, and the indomitable strength of the human spirit. Kevin's journey is a powerful testament to the fact that pain can either be a force that defeats us or one that rebuilds us, stronger than before.
