On this episode I talk to a close friend Brian Patrick, founder of Beyond Broken Project. Beyond Broken Project's mission is to increase global awareness and end the stigma associated with mental illness through education & research. We have an open & honest conversation on the aftermath of suicide after losing his wife, Brandy to suicide in 2020. If you have lost someone to suicide or are contemplating suicide, please listen to this whole episode.
