On Episode 5 of More with Murphy, Ken sits down with a young man named Nathan Rose. A Columbus native, Nathan knows firsthand just how easy it is to tumble from the good life to the gutter. In 2016, Nathan left home for college and was awakened to the stark reality of mental health problems, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, and more. In his own words, he was on the path to nowhere and drowning in hopelessness. It didn’t happen the first time or even the second or the third, but eventually, he was able to take back his life with one, life-changing decision. Today, he’s sharing his story and how you’re never alone or too far gone.
