Ep.1 Surviving the Darkness: A Hero's Journey Through Trauma and Suicide

In the debut episode of Break That Cycle, we sit down with Heath—a man whose story is as raw as it is redemptive. After surviving childhood sexual abuse, years of trauma in the military and law enforcement, and multiple suicide attempts—including a misfired gun that should've ended it all—Heath made a choice: to live, and to lead others away from the edge. This conversation dives into the silent struggles that so many carry, the signs we often miss, and what it truly takes to keep going when life feels unbearable. Heath now dedicates his life to being a lifeline for others battling darkness, proving that purpose can be found on the other side of pain. This is more than a story—it's a message of survival, truth, and transformation. Brought to you by Mary & Martha House
