Giving his pain a purpose was the lesson this week’s
guest, DennisGillan, learned when he took his tentative first steps
as a suicide prevention speaker – as a man whose two brothers took
their own lives 11 years apart. Gillan shares the devastation he experienced in
the aftermath of his brothers’ suicides – but also the strength and
hope he’s found by embracing what he’s discovered is the call on
his life: to inspire others to how to use the trauma of their
crucibles to live lives of significance. The one practical tip you
want to make extra sure you listen for? The Purple File.
