TW: Suicidal Ideation, Suicide, and Gun Violence In this week’s powerful episode, suicide survivor, mental health advocate, and former professional baseball player Drew Robinson shares his deeply personal journey through mental health struggles. Drew opens up about his childhood and reflects on his love and passion for baseball, candidly addressing how both his upbringing and the pressures of his career contributed to his mental health challenges, including warning signs he didn’t recognize at the time. He bravely recounts his battles with suicidal ideation, the day he attempted to take his life, the thoughts that ran through his mind when the attempt didn’t succeed, and how his family found out. Now on a path of healing, Drew reflects on the role he feels he must live up to, his ongoing efforts to stay accountable, and why he believes he survived—to help others facing similar struggles. He also offers heartfelt advice for anyone grappling with their own mental health challenges.
