I finally got feeling better and I was taking a couple of two mile walks a day and feeling really good. You know, we have the secrets, and so I, especially when it comes to mental health, talk about it.
What happens when life throws you a curveball you never saw coming? Ricky B. found himself grappling with this question after an aggressive prostate cancer diagnosis. With nearly three decades of sobriety under his belt, the last place he expected to end up was a psych ward. But the darkness crept back in, and Ricky faced thoughts of ending his life. Yet, he kept his struggles hidden from those around him.
This episode of 'Secret Life' is a poignant reminder that everyone has their own battles, often invisible to the outside world. Brianne Davis sits down with Ricky as he shares his raw and heart-wrenching story.

Listeners will find Ricky's honesty and vulnerability both challenging and inspiring. His story confronts the stigma surrounding mental illness and addiction head-on, encouraging others to seek help and share their own secrets. Brianne and Ricky also touch on the healing power of nature and how reconnecting with the natural world played a pivotal role in his recovery. September is Suicide Prevention Month, making this episode particularly timely and essential.
