S3E44 -THE LINK BETWEEN SUICIDALITY AND ADOPTEES-KEVIN BERTHIA-SUICIDE SURVIVOR, ADVOCATE AND SPEAKER
Kevin Berthia is an adoptee, suicide survivor, advocate, and speaker. Kevin pours his heart into sharing his powerful story of growing up in silence, always feeling the need to hide the unbearable pain he was in.
Through high school and into his early twenties, Kevin was
known as the life of the party… until his very public suicide attempt at the Golden Gate Bridge changed everything.
Since 2013, Kevin has captivated his audiences with his
candidness about how he was able to overcome his pain and fully embrace himself in order to live his best life. He lives to inspire others to break their own silence and know that help is available.
Kevin’s story of HOPE has touched a diverse group of
audiences all around the world, including several magazine outlets, along with local and national news stations. Kevin’s story was also featured on the Steve Harvey Show, Red Table Talk, and the Dr. Phil Show.
The photo of him standing on the 32-inch-wide beam, known as “the chord,” was on the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle and placed on the 75 most iconic photos of the 21st Century.
Kevin believes that having survived an attempted suicide
plays a major role in the prevention of additional suicides. No one knows more about the darkness that surrounds suicide than those who have walked in its shadow.

Mind Your Own Karma – The Adoption Chronicles Podcast educates listeners on the realities of adoption through the stories of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. We delve into their journeys, exploring identity, the emotional impacts of adoption, and the complexities that are involved when a child is removed from their biology.
We also tackle tough topics like transracial adoption and adoption ethics, featuring experts and advocates. By sharing these diverse perspectives we hope to not only educate the world, but also give hope and healing to those deeply affected by adoption trauma.
*** This podcast's mission is on adoption education. If you have an expertise that you think would be beneficial to anyone touched by adoption and would like to be on the podcast, get in touch with me.
