For three months, I couldn’t move and I couldn’t work and I wanted to end my life — Chude

What this episode covers

For years people have been asking me: What’s your own story?This year, I am finally saying yes and sharing a part of my story. The part I think the world needs to hear today.When my show hit its stride, I stopped saying yes to interviews because I wanted to focus on listening, on hearing, on being a channel for others. I wanted to have something significant to say to the world before speaking again.I believe that time has come. My book ‘How Depression Saved My Life’ will be out in April 2025 and it is a memoir of my life from 2014-2024 - a journey that led me through depression, heartbreak, thoughts of suicide, quitting my job as CEO and landing here as host and creator of #WithChude. It tells a story I believe the world urgently needs to hear today. To help me prepare for the release of the book, I have some heavy hitters starring as guest-hosts on this show - with me as guest. I am honoured by all the people who either offered or said yes.The first special is with my sister and friend, the chart-bursting actor, producer and director — Omoni Oboli.She reached out to me last year to say ‘you need to tell your story and I want to interview you’ and it’s because of her that we came up with this special series.This is one of the deepest, truest, most heart-felt conversations I ever did. We cried, both of us, as I told never-before-heard stories about my life, my emotions, my mother, my career, and the moments when I thought it was all over and I wanted to end it all.This interview will move and bless you deeply. ❤ Hosted on Acast.
