Episode 129: The Suicide Monk — A Journey of Hope and Healing

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, I sit down with Britton Day, the voice behind The Suicide Monk podcast, to explore the tender, complex, and often misunderstood terrain of suicidal ideation, trauma, recovery, and spiritual rebirth. From the depths of his darkest moments—including the day he planned to end his life—to his decision to start a podcast that offers others a space to be seen, Britton’s story is raw and real, yet filled with resilience and light.

This conversation holds space for grief and pain but gently points toward healing and reconnection—with self, others, and something greater. We talk about what it means to walk with someone in their pain instead of trying to fix it, how shame can silently fuel rage, and why presence, not perfection, saves lives. Britton shares how psilocybin therapy helped him dismantle childhood defenses, how respect-based boundaries transformed his relationships, and how daily surrender and spiritual practices anchor his new life.

As someone who has personally felt the heavy impact of suicide within my own family, this episode is especially meaningful. Britton and I both open up about our childhood wounds, the path to self-forgiveness, and how parenting—and our inner child—can teach us about growth, grace, and love.

This is not an episode for children or for casual listening. It’s for those who want to understand, to walk beside, and to feel a little less alone in the heaviness. It’s about making space for truth and transformation. If you’re in a dark place, or walking with someone who is, I hope you hear hope in these words and know that your story still matters.

You can follow Britton’s work and watch his podcast on YouTube at The Suicide Monk 07. He also shares regularly on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook.
