We all go through seasons where our mental health is suffering more than usual. It can come with the natural ebbs and flows of life and can serve as a reminder that when we have capacity, our minds need nurturing.
Jesse Cody, a successful student-athlete who earned a full ride athletic scholarship to Providence College, appeared to the outside world to have it all together. But as the saying goes – looks can be deceiving. Not long after his freshman year of college began, Jesse’s facade began to crack, and his mental illnesses came rushing to the surface. After years of quietly suffering and battling suicidal thoughts, Jesse made a drastic decision that changed his life forever.
On this episode of Success is Subjective, you will hear Jesse share how one decision altered the course of his entire life and provided freedom from wars that were constantly raging in his mind. He also explains to listeners the ways that his non-profit, Hike the Good Hike, is empowering others as they fight for their own mental health.
