| 9/1/26 | I Found a Lump in the Shower - Now I'm Fighting for My Life | When I called Mya Ludwig a few weeks ago, I expected a hard conversation. She had been diagnosed with breast cancer, undergone a double mastectomy, and was halfway through chemotherapy. Instead, I hung up feeling like Mya had somehow helped me.So I knew I needed to bring her back to the podcast.Mya opens up about the moment she discovered the lump, what treatment has really been like, and how losing her hair challenged the way she saw herself. But what impacted me most was her perspective. She refuses to let cancer become her identity or allow fear about tomorrow to steal the life she still gets to live today.We talk about learning to put yourself first, finding joy in incredibly difficult seasons, and how a traumatic brain injury years earlier taught Mya lessons she never imagined she'd need again.And making this conversation even more special, Mya's brother Adam joins us again, bringing the same joy and personality we loved the first time.In this episode:The moment Mya discovered something was wrongWhy she refuses to live in the "what ifs"What losing her hair taught her about identityHow to support someone without making them feel helplessFinding one small reason to keep going on the hardest daysThis conversation reminded me that we don't always get to choose what happens to us. But we do get to choose how we show up through it.Key Moments:00:00 The Lump Maya Knew Was Cancer03:18 The Attitude Toward Cancer That Changed My Life07:44 Why Cancer Forced Maya to Finally Put Herself First11:02 Why Maya Refuses to Feel Sorry for Herself14:44 Refusing to Let Cancer Take Over Her Life18:02 What Someone With Cancer Actually Needs From You21:04 Losing Her Hair Changed How Maya Saw Herself25:40 The One Thing Maya Does on Her Darkest Days29:26 Maya’s Brother Adam Returns to the Podcast31:20 How Adam Reacted to Maya’s Cancer Diagnosis34:01 The Joy Adam Brings Everywhere He Goes38:19 Adam’s Unfiltered Take on the Raiders41:29 Adam’s Message to Anyone Going Through a Hard TimeConnect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/Connect with Mya:IG: @minimamamya (https://www.instagram.com/minimamamya/) | — | ||||||
| 8/25/26 | Most Heartbreaking Story I've Ever Heard | In this episode, I sit down with Matthew Griffin, who spent 21 years serving in the military and law enforcement. During those years, Matt saw things most of us will never see. But one call would stay with him for decades.As a young police officer, Matt responded to the accidental death of two-and-a-half-year-old Benny Jr., the son of a friend. Matt was the first officer on scene and performed CPR, but Benny didn’t survive. What followed was years of guilt, nightmares, drinking, and the belief that if he had reacted just seconds sooner, maybe he could have saved him.The trauma didn’t stay at work. Slowly, Matt began losing himself, his marriage, his identity, and eventually his desire to keep living.In this episode, we talk about:The call involving two-year-old Benny Jr. that changed Matt’s life foreverThe hidden reality of PTSD, trauma, and mental health among police officers and first respondersHow undercover police work consumed Matt’s identity and contributed to the breakdown of his marriageThe moments that pushed Matt toward suicide and what ultimately kept him hereWhy simply checking on someone can be more powerful than we realizeThis conversation is about what happens when the people we expect to save everyone else are quietly falling apart themselves.And why sometimes surviving starts with giving life one more hour. One more day.Key Moments:00:00 The Police Call That Changed Everything03:03 Meeting Benny Jr. Days Before the Tragedy10:24 The Guilt That Haunted Him for Years18:02 The Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Policing24:18 When Undercover Police Work Took Over His Life27:31 Losing His Marriage, Home and Identity32:14 Taking Accountability for Who He Became36:04 His Chief Checked on Him, Then Died by Suicide42:04 The Phone Call That Saved Matt’s Life48:47 Why Checking In on Someone Could Save a Life53:22 “If Today Is a Good Day to Die, So Is Tomorrow”59:44 The Check-In Every Leader Should Be Doing1:03:29 What Matt Would Say to Someone Considering SuicideConnect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/Connect with Matt:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/authormatthewgriffin/ | — | ||||||
| 8/18/26 | We Were So Proud He Lost Weight - Now My Dad is Dead | In this episode, I sit down with Olivia Burnett, who lost her dad, Kevin, to stage four colon cancer at just 24 years old. He was her Superman, the person who gave her confidence, made her feel unstoppable, and always reminded her that she was “golden.” Within months of his death, grief pulled Olivia into a darkness she never expected.She tried therapy. Medication. Exercise. Friends. Family. Everything people tell you to do when you're struggling with depression. But nothing seemed to break through. Eventually, Olivia found herself sitting on her bed with a bottle of pills in her hand, believing suicide was the only way out.Then two words entered her mind: Hold on. That tiny piece of hope was enough.In this episode, we talk about:Losing her dad to stage four colon cancer at just 24 years oldThe delayed grief that sent Olivia into a devastating battle with depressionThe night she believed suicide was her only way out and the two words that stopped herHow tiny, everyday decisions helped her slowly find hope, resilience, and purpose againTurning unimaginable pain into a reason to help others hold on through their darkest momentsThis conversation isn't about pretending everything gets better overnight. It's about what can happen when you hold on long enough to see what comes next.Key Moments:00:00 My Dad Was Healthy Then Everything Changed04:06 The Signs of Stage 4 Colon Cancer We Missed08:02 The Night I Watched My Dad Die11:12 The Future Cancer Stole From Us15:03 How My Dad Faced Death Without Fear19:03 Finding Yellow Socks in the Darkness22:09 Why “Choose Happiness” Isn't That Simple25:16 When Grief Turned Into Severe Depression28:03 The Night I Almost Ended My Life31:16 Turning My Pain Into Purpose35:46 How I Finally Climbed Out of the Darkness39:34 The Small Decisions That Saved Me41:06 What My Dad Would Say to Me TodayConnect with Me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/Connect with Olivia:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twentysomething_podcast/ | — | ||||||
| 8/11/26 | We Were Just Setting up The Nursery - Now She's Dead | There are some stories you hear that stay with you long after the conversation ends. This is one of them.In this episode, I sit down with Nathan Wieser, a husband, father and author of We Did It, to talk about a journey through pregnancy loss, infant loss, miscarriage, PTSD, grief and a fight to become a father that lasted more than a decade. Nathan and his wife Lucy endured loss after loss. But nothing could prepare them for the day their daughter Mary died during birth, while Lucy herself was fighting to stay alive. Nathan remembers sitting alone in a hospital hallway waiting for one thing: to hear his daughter cry. The cry never came. What followed were years of grief, trauma and fear before they found the courage to try again.Then came Otto. Born at just 26 weeks and weighing only two pounds, Otto spent 121 days in the NICU fighting through emergency surgeries, sepsis and moments when his parents didn't know if he would survive.In this episode:Losing their daughter Mary during childbirth and nearly losing Lucy tooThe miscarriages, grief and PTSD that followed their devastating lossFinding the courage to try for another child after years of traumaOtto’s premature birth and the terrifying 121-day fight for his life in the NICUHow loss changed Nathan’s perspective on fatherhood, marriage and what truly mattersThis is an incredibly raw conversation about losing children, surviving trauma, marriage, fatherhood and finding hope when life has given you every reason to stop believing things can get better.This conversation gave me a lot to think about as a father. I think it will do the same for you.Key Moments:00:00 Waiting for a Cry That Never Came06:22 The Diagnosis No Parent Is Ready For12:38 The Moment Everything Went Horribly Wrong18:04 Telling His Wife Their Baby Had Died24:19 Could They Ever Try for a Baby Again?28:17 Losing Their Twins Without a Heartbeat31:12 The Phone Call That Saved His Life36:45 Meeting His Two-Pound Son for the First Time41:42 The NICU Nightmare Begins47:25 His Heart Stopped Again49:13 The Miracle Doctors Couldn’t Explain52:06 They Finally Got Home...

| 8/4/26 | My Family Keeps Dying & I Can't Explain It | In this episode, I sit down with Jaclyn Rose, a mental health advocate whose life has been shaped by unimaginable loss. Jaclyn shares the heartbreaking story of losing her uncle to suicide, her father to addiction, and years later, her older brother to the very same battle. Rather than allowing grief to harden her heart, she chose to understand it.This conversation challenged the way I think about addiction, mental health, suicide, grief, and what it truly means to love someone who is suffering. We talk about the silence that often surrounds these struggles, why shame keeps so many families trapped, and how healing begins when we stop asking, “How could you do this to us?” and start asking, “What pain were you carrying?”In this episode:Losing her uncle, father, and brother to suicide and addictionThe text message from her dad hours before he unexpectedly diedWhy shame and silence make grief even harder to carryWhat addiction taught her about love, forgiveness, and compassionHow she turned unimaginable loss into a mission to help others healIf you've ever lost someone to suicide or addiction, love someone battling mental illness, or are carrying grief that still feels too heavy to name, I hope this episode reminds you that you are not alone.Key Moments:00:00 The Text Message That Changed Everything05:12 Seeing Her Uncle After Suicide at Just 9 Years Old09:08 Why Silence Makes Grief Even Worse16:17 The Birthday That Changed Her Relationship with Her Dad20:01 The Truth About Her Father's Addiction24:03 Reuniting With Her Dad One Week Before He Died31:00 How Grief Turned Into Anxiety, Addiction & Survival34:19 Why Time Doesn't Heal Trauma36:05 Can You Love Someone Who Keeps Hurting You?43:03 What Addiction Really Feels Like46:41 Her Brother Started Following the Same Path50:10 Loving Someone Without Enabling Them54:08 "I Got My Son Back"...

| 7/28/26 | We Thought She Was Just Struggling With Friends, But It Was Something Much Worse | As a parent, there are certain things you never think you’ll have to face. Watching your child fight for their life is one of them.In this episode, I sit down with Jheri South, a mother of seven whose story is filled with heartbreak, addiction, mental health struggles, suicide attempts, and an unbelievable determination to keep fighting.Jheri shares how her seemingly picture-perfect life unraveled when her husband’s crystal meth addiction tore their family apart. Years later, she would face every parent’s worst nightmare when her daughter Grace attempted to take her own life and collapsed into her arms having seizures.What follows is a raw conversation about suicide, autism in girls, ADHD, neurodivergence, parenting teenagers, and what our children may be carrying without us ever knowing.In this episode:Addiction tearing apart Jheri’s familyThe warning signs she never saw comingThe night she almost lost her daughterDiscovering undiagnosed autism and ADHDHow parents can truly connect with struggling teensThis conversation gave me a lot to think about as a father.

| 7/21/26 | He Thought it Was a Stomach Ache - Now My Brother is Dead | In this episode of the Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Rebecca Doyle, who shares the heartbreaking story of losing her only brother, Edward, to an unexpected complication from cancer treatment at just 28 years old. What started as stomach pain quickly became a Stage 3 cancer diagnosis, months of chemotherapy, and a phone call that changed her life forever.Rebecca opens up about watching her brother die over FaceTime, the grief she buried to stay strong for her young daughter, and how years of unresolved trauma, postpartum depression, and unimaginable loss eventually pushed her to the brink of suicide. This is an honest conversation about grief, survival, faith, and finding a reason to keep living when life feels impossible.In this episode:Losing her only brother to cancer just days after doctors said he was close to remissionThe FaceTime call where she watched her brother die and how that moment changed her foreverHow buried grief, postpartum depression, and trauma led her to two suicide attemptsThe moment she chose to ask for help, entered psychiatric care, and began healingFinding hope through therapy, faith, and rebuilding a life she never thought she'd want to live againIf you've ever lost someone you love, struggled with suicidal thoughts, or wondered if healing is possible after tragedy, I truly believe this conversation will remind you that you're not alone.Key Moments:00:00 The Phone Call That Changed Everything03:39 "Edward Is Going to Die Today"06:12 Why Her Brother Meant Everything09:38 The Stage 3 Cancer Diagnosis11:57 The Chemo Complication That Killed Him16:02 When Grief Became Suicidal Thoughts19:44 The Night She Tried to End Her Life21:40 Her Second Suicide Attempt24:51 How Does Someone Reach That Breaking Point?27:55 Why She Couldn't Stop Blaming Herself30:30 What Her Brother Would Say Today33:28 The Truth About Therapy No One Wants to HearConnect with Tyler :Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tyler.hall/#SuicidePrevention #GriefRecovery #HealingAfterLoss | — | ||||||
