This week, we sat down with the amazing and truly inspiring Zach Tidwell — and wow, what a conversation. Zach’s story is one of those that just stays with you. From surviving a suicide attempt that left him blind and deaf in one ear, to becoming an award-winning software developer and passionate advocate for accessibility, his journey is both heartbreaking and incredibly uplifting.

In our deep yet surprisingly light hearted chat, Zach opened up with so much honesty about living with depression and alcoholism, the rock-bottom moments that nearly ended it all, and the turning points that helped him choose life. What shines through most is his courage — and the way he found purpose by helping others. 🌟

✨ In this inspiring episode, we talk about:

• ​Why talking about mental health truly saves lives
• ​The moments that push us to the edge — and the path back from them
• ​How resilience grows through connection, support, and inner strength
• ​Why giving back can be such a powerful step toward healing
• ​The importance of speaking up instead of struggling in silence
• ​How facing challenges head-on builds resilience you didn’t know you had
• ​The life-changing power of choice in shaping your future 💛

Zach’s story is raw, real, and so full of hope. It’s a reminder that even in the darkest moments, there is a way forward — and sometimes the very pain we carry becomes the source of our deepest purpose.
