I describe it and I'm on my way to the bathroom. So I'm sliding toward rock bottom right now, but I know by Monday this time, you know the somebody will turn, turn down the force of gravity, I'll be able to move my feet a little faster and things will be okay because I have a Three-Day cycle.
What if you could turn your darkest moments into something that makes others laugh? In this episode of 'You're Sober! Now What?', hosts Tamar Medford and Lane Kennedy sit down with Frank King, a mental health comedian with a remarkable story. Frank, who has delivered six TEDx Talks on suicide prevention, shares his battle with depression and how he found a way to bring light into the darkest corners of his life.
From his days crisscrossing the country on the comedy club circuit to facing serious health issues like heart attacks and valve replacements, Frank's resilience is nothing short of inspiring. His story is a testament to the power of humor and hope in overcoming life's toughest challenges. Frank talks about his 'Three-Day Cycle', a tool he uses to manage his mental health, reminding us that recovery is not always linear but full of ups and downs.
He offers practical advice on finding your passion, building routines, and using humor as a coping mechanism. Whether you're struggling with mental health challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable insights and a healthy dose of laughter. Frank's journey is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's always a glimmer of hope.
