Journey to Resilience: Finding Light in Darkness

Trigger Warning: This episode contains candid discussion of suicide attempts, depression, and traumatic injury. Listener discretion advised.

Show Notes

Men aren’t supposed to cry—until the mask cracks and the gun’s in your mouth. Enter Dan Pelly, an Italian‑American “tough guy” who believed feelings were a liability… right up until depression left him face‑down on a Florida motel floor with a bottle of vodka and enough pills to light up a toxicology lab. Spoiler: he lived. Twice. In this episode Dan and Elaine dismantle the BS narrative that suicide is selfish and carve out a raw, honest roadmap back to light—one FN step at a time.
