Season 2, Ep. 35
•
In this episode Kevin Palmieri shares his knowledge and wisdom concerning overcoming depression, failures, and even suicidal ideation. So at this time I want to give a Trigger Warning because In this episode, we will briefly touch on suicide and/or suicidal thoughts during this discussion. If this may trigger extreme emotional distress for you, you should skip today’s episode. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, please contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline immediately, which is available 24 hours a day at 1-800-273-8255.
Kevin talks about how in his 20’s, he had the perfect life from the outside. He had a beautiful girlfriend who was a model, a high paying job, a sports car, the best body he had had in his life, and yet he found himself sitting on the side of the bed contemplating suicide. As he says, some people find rock bottom. He found out that rock bottom has a basement.
After talking to a caring friend, he had a pivotal moment in his life, and he turned it all around. He decided to pursue fulfilment, self-improvement, and entrepreneurship. He was determined to overcome his anxiety, depression and to finally live the life he’d always dreamed of.
Years later, he now hosts a podcast that impacts hundreds of thousands of people in countries all over the world. He focused on learning what he didn't know (unlearning a lot too), and his life started to shift, and he is on a mission to help others shift their lives as well.
