TRIGGER WARNING: This episode features heavy and extensive conversation surrounding suicide, facing suicide loss, suicide prevention, and more.
For today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host and former drummer of “Maroon 5” Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard alongside special guest: Actor, Comic, Influencer, and Founder of “Mourning Glory”: Aleksei Archer.
Aleksei Archer is truly one-of-a-kind. Her mission is to bring together victims of Suicide Loss through her foundation “Mourning Glory”, and to face a very dark topic like suicide with both humor and sex appeal. It’s an extremely fine line to walk, yet undeniably a fascinating and unique one. The trio dive deep into Aleksei’s relationship with her father, who she lost to suicide, and how joining a community of victims to Suicide Loss has been a powerful and necessary step in her growth and healing process.
Along the way, important and useful topics come up including the stress of Social Media, Generational Trauma, Sexual Identity and so much more… with plenty of laughs along the way– the forte of Aleksei’s groundbreaking approach to trauma.
