Then a heart wrenching experience in 2012 of losing my oldest child.I became a financial planner in 2003 during the process of helping my parents in their declining health.

Depression is a subject not often talked about by men. In this episode, I will talk about my experience with depression. I also talk about how I identified periods in my life where I experienced depression. With a ton of support and resources at my fingertips, I have a steady flow of positivity that helps me deal with extreme hardship and trauma. You will hear ongoing habits that I have instilled to help me avoid emotional pitfalls that can lead to depression.

Here are a few of the resources I mentioned on the show:

National Institute of Mental Health -- https://www.nimh.nih.gov/
