A conversation about winning over Trauma of Addiction, Recovery, and Coming Out - Ep. #149

Before you listen, we'd like to warn you that this podcast contains discussions of suicide and could be unsuitable for some listeners.

In this episode, Don and Joe spend time hanging out with Mark Turnipspeed, author of My Suicide Race and a multi-time Ironman athlete.  Mark takes us all through his journey from being sexually abused and the shame that came from it to his struggles with addiction, suicide attempts, and self-denial.  A jump in a pool to swim a lap and a chance encounter with a total stranger turned him towards triathlon as a way to become the person that Mark was meant to be.  A riveting and totally honest story that we all need to hear.
