Manage episode 448402155 series 3540099
In this deeply touching episode, Angela sits down with Thomas Brown, who shares his journey of transformation after the tragic loss of his brother to suicide in 2001. After years of grief and soul-searching, Thomas embarked on a cross-country bicycle tour in 2012 to raise awareness for suicide prevention. Starting from the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco and ending at the Chapel of Sacred Mirrors in New York, Thomas and his friend Zach covered an impressive 7,000 miles. During the tour, they engaged in emotionally charged conversations and created awareness for mental health. This episode explores Thomas's personal growth, his efforts in suicide awareness, and the profound influence of art and storytelling in healing. Thomas also discusses his podcast 'Inner Monologue' and his book '2012: A Bicycle Odyssey,' both of which continue his mission to support and inspire others.
