On December 27, 2015, a single text message altered the course of my life forever. It was the day I learned my best friend had been shot and taken his own life. Navigating through the flood of emotions and unanswered questions, I stumbled upon an unexpected story about Jim Carrey and his battle with mental health. I remember being so confused at the time–how could someone so funny and successful be suicidal? It was the first window that I had into the false reality I was living in at the time. In this episode, I discuss unthinkable life lessons from the funniest philosopher in the world.  **Content Warning** This episode contains discussions of death and suicide.
