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.
