Dear listener,


Who do you get when you mix a realist with an ardent reader and a comedian who also happens to struggle with depression and suicidal ideation?


Leo Flowers, that's who!


This week's guest was such a treat, a Las Vegas comedian from Chicago by way of San Diego!


I hope you enjoy every moment of the over one hour of none stop talk, laughter, epiphanies, and fun that we had!


He singularly brought me out of hibernation for real!


I was on a semi break (which I still am), but when his peeps called, I was like...YES'M!


This episode was chuck full of nuggets!


We talked about everything from anchoring your pain to serve a purpose, to Abe Lincoln, to the opposite of hopelessness, to books, to finding moments in your life that are "depression-free", to the positive lessons the quarantine will teach us and SO MUCH MORE!


Quotables


"People gravitate towards you when you show them your pain"


"No recovery, no gain"


"There comes great responsibility with freedom"


Find out about the two times he has had to call the suicide hotline, and what he advises us to do to ensure we won't have to call them.


And the one single thing he wants us to do before we literally kill ourselves...


This was definitely one of the highlights of my quarantine...


Find him at www.LeoFlowers.com, and you can book a coaching call with him at Thrive with Leo.


Y'all, I was also a guest on his show, click this LINK to listen to my own interview on his podcast called "Before You Kill Yourself"
