In this episode, Thomas Maher shares the morning he woke up suicidal - and the long road back from severe depression. We talk about childhood anxiety at 11 years old, a 2012 surgery that triggered a major breakdown, the role ego played in delaying help, and how he rebuilt himself from the ground up. Thomas also shares the philosophy behind Koalogy - a framework rooted in compassion, accountability, and inner strength.

We explore:

• Rock bottom and survival
• Rewiring the mind through visualisation
• Why men stay silent too long
• Faith beyond rigid religion
• Responsibility, adaptation, and self-leadership

If you’ve wrestled with depression, identity, ego, or purpose - this episode is for you.
