The Quarter Life Crisis: Jack Davis from It's Cool to Cry

Season 2 of The Quarter Life Crisis returns for 2025 with Jack Davis from It's Cool to Cry: Content warning: This story contains references to suicide and self-harm. ⁠Jack lost his partner Elle to suicide when they were both 25. She was magnetic—funny, brilliant, and full of life. Her sudden decline and passing sent Jack into a spiral he tried to outrun, until grief caught up in unexpected ways. Years later, through therapy and a lot of unravelling, he found a new path forward—and started It’s Cool To Cry, a social movement making mental health something we don’t dodge or dress up, and arming people with the practical, evidence based tools and resources to both manage, and understand for themselves.We talked deeply about Elle, about Jack’s journey, but also about my own ongoing battle with mental health, identity, and how the mask I wore through my twenties is slipping as I try to grow up, or at least grow into myself.Hope you enjoy the episode and take something away from Jack's story.Check out his website and be sure to get in touch if you'd like to get involved.https://itscooltocry.com/Lifeline provides 24-hour crisis counselling, support groups and suicide prevention services.
