A Different Kind Of Strength - Kevin's story of learning to stay

Listener Note This episode includes conversations about self-harm and suicidal thoughts. Please listen in a way that feels safest for you. Support resources are listed in the show notes. At 27, Kevin receives a message that opens a door he never thought would be unlocked: a chance to meet the father who was absent his whole life. What follows is a raw, intimate journey through a childhood shaped by quiet absence, a dangerous comfort with pain, and the hollow victories of outward success. In this episode, listen as Kevin traces the slow unraveling and surprising turns that force him to ask who he really is. From moments on the edge of despair to the lifeline of a friend, therapy, and the creation of a purpose-driven podcast, his story is about learning to stay—finding a safe place to land, and discovering self-awareness as the bravest kind of work. Tune in for a candid, human story of loss, reckoning, and the small decisions that change everything. 988 - crisis hotline Next Level University  Connect with Kevin on Facebook More about Kevin  If you'd like to support the show, just click the link | Be a part of the Change Happened community Enter to win the "What Changed Me Community Challenge" | Enter to Win!
