    Doctors Said It Was Our Marriage...The Truth Was Much Worse

    Nothing prepares you for the moment you realise the person you love is slowly disappearing, even though they’re still right in front of you. In this episode, I sit down with Lindsay Kelly, a mother of six whose life changed when her husband’s undiagnosed progressive multiple sclerosis began showing up not just in his body, but in his mind. Rage. Memory loss. Personality changes. Doctors who couldn’t explain it. And years of being told it was “just a marriage problem.” Lindsay takes us inside the breaking point, the night she said she was done, the hospital room where everything finally made sense, and the quiet moment at home when she realised she had become a full-time caregiver overnight. This conversation is about invisible illness, caregiver burnout, faith, resilience, and what it really means to stay when walking away would be easier. If you’ve ever felt alone in your marriage, your faith, or your fight, this episode will sit with you. Watch now and share this with someone who needs to feel less alone. Key Moments: 0:00 When My Husband Suddenly Wasn’t Himself 3:12 The First Sign Something Was Seriously Wrong 6:01 Walking On Eggshells Inside Our Own Home 9:07 The Moment I Thought About Leaving 12:55 Doctors Couldn’t Explain His Rage 16:24 The Hospital Call That Changed Everything 19:58 “Your Husband Has A Broken Brain” 23:41 When MS Explained The Personality Shift 27:18 Becoming A Full-Time Caregiver Overnight 30:47 The Day I Realised I Was Completely Alone 34:26 When Faith Was The Only Thing Left 38:02 Two Years Of Crying Every Single Day 41:55 What Caregiver Burnout Really Looks Like 45:36 Why Assisted Living Saved Our Family 49:12 The Reality Of Loving Someone With MS 52:58 Why I Started Sharing This Online 56:21 The Messages That Proved I Wasn’t Alone 59:44 “Alone Doesn’t Have To Mean Lonely” Guest Info: IG: @lewkelly06 (https://www.instagram.com/lewkelly06/)

    I Drove to the Mountain to End My Life But Then This Happened

    What happens when the gun fires… but you wake up anyway? In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Nick Rossborough, a former professional fighter who lost his identity, his marriage, and nearly his life. One night, alone on a mountain with a pistol in his hand, Nick made a decision he believed would end the pain. But something happened that shouldn’t be possible. And moments later, a small voice from inside his house changed everything. Nick takes us inside the darkest night of his life, the divorce, the identity collapse, the silent suffering so many men hide, and the long road back through trauma healing, breathwork, purpose, and learning to love himself again. This isn’t just a survival story. It’s a wake-up call. If you’ve ever felt lost, numb, or ready to give up, this conversation is for you.

    The Hotel Call That Changed Our Lives Forever

    What do you do when your worst fear comes true… and no one even knows the truth? In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Adriana Sansam, a mother whose life changed forever when her husband died alone in a hotel room from an accidental overdose. One moment he was on a work trip. The next, she was racing for answers, convinced something was wrong before anyone confirmed it. Adriana opens up about loving a recovering addict, hiding his addiction from everyone, and the devastating phone call that left her raising three young children alone. But this isn’t just a story about addiction and grief. It’s about breaking the stigma, telling the truth, and turning shame into purpose. If you’ve been touched by addiction, mental health struggles, loss, or single parenting, this conversation will stay with you. Listen now. Share this with someone who needs it.

    One Split Second And My Life Was Never The Same

    What happens when the thing that defines you is taken away in a single moment? On this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Mahi Crabbe, a former full-time musician who nearly lost his life in a brutal rock-crawling accident that crushed his hand and shattered his identity as an artist on November 3, 2018. In a matter of seconds, Mahi went from touring and playing sold-out shows to lying in an ambulance, convinced his career was over. The injury didn’t just threaten his ability to play guitar, it forced him to confront deeper questions about purpose, faith, manhood, and how to provide for the family he always dreamed of building. We talk about the night everything changed, the fear of starting over, the anger he carried toward God, and how losing his “guitar hand” ultimately led him to build an entirely new life as a business owner and father. If you’ve ever had your plans ripped away, your identity shaken, or your faith tested, this conversation will hit home. Watch this episode to see how losing everything became the beginning of something bigger. Key Moments: 0:00 The Day I Lost My Hand 3:02 My Hand Was Hanging By Skin 6:05 Life Flashing Before My Eyes 9:10 “That’s His Guitar Hand” 12:36 Waking Up, My Identity Was Gone 15:32 I Couldn’t Be A Musician Anymore 18:39 From Hospital Bed To Truck Driver 21:30 Growing Up Without A Father 24:23 Becoming The Man I Never Had 26:50 The Night That Changed My Faith 29:40 From Leaving Church To Returning 33:03 Why God Took My Hand 35:41 My Family Came Back To Church 37:55 From Homeless To Business Owner 40:14 Why Hawaii Heals The Soul 42:49 My Message To Every Man Watching Guest Info: IG: @mahilive (https://www.instagram.com/mahilive/)

    I Fought God to Save My Brother - Here’s What Happened

    What happens when faith meets unimaginable loss and the miracle doesn’t come the way you prayed for it? In this deeply raw episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Shayna Weston, a woman whose life was shattered by a relentless sequence of grief that few could survive. In the span of a single year, Shayna walked beside her brother as he fought terminal cancer, held onto hope for a miracle, whispered goodbye as he took his final breath, then returned home only to lose her beloved dog… and shortly after, face her father’s devastating stage four pancreatic cancer diagnosis. This conversation isn’t about tidy answers or surface-level faith. It’s about the brutal reality of grief, the anger we feel toward God, the moments we bargain, break, and beg and the quiet, unexpected ways healing and redemption can still emerge. Shayna opens up about caregiving, anticipatory grief, losing multiple loved ones, wrestling with faith, forgiveness, and what it truly means to surrender when control is gone. It’s honest, heartbreaking, and somehow still filled with hope. Watch this episode to understand grief on a deeper level and if you’ve ever lost someone, questioned your faith, or felt crushed by loss, this conversation will remind you that you’re not alone. Key Moments: 0:00 The Call That Changed Everything 3:14 “You Have One Week Left” 6:07 When Hope And Reality Collided 9:21 The Moment I Knew He Was Dying 12:08 Singing Through Terminal Cancer 15:02 Doctors Said It Was Impossible 18:36 The Treatment That Shouldn’t Have Worked 21:48 When I Began Fighting God 24:31 “I’m Scared To Die” 27:26 Choosing Faith Over Fear 30:19 The Breath That Never Came Back 33:08 Watching My Brother Take His Last Breath 36:11 Grief Hits In Slow Motion 39:04 The Silence That Broke Our Family 42:12 Losing My Dog Right After Losing Him 45:03 When Grief Turned Into Anger 48:29 The Diagnosis That Came Next 51:42 Stage Four Pancreatic Cancer 54:56 “I Don’t Want To Fight Anymore” 58:08 Learning To Let Go Guest Info: IG: @shay_weston_ (https://www.instagram.com/shay_weston_/)

    He Lost His Friend and Father to Suicide... This Was the Breaking Point

    What happens when suicide keeps showing up in your life… before you’re even old enough to understand it? In this episode of The Rollercoaster Podcast, I sit down with Stanley Stark, a man whose life has been shaped by loss, silence, and hard truths most men never say out loud. From losing a close friend as a teenager to the devastating phone call that his own father had taken his life, Stanley opens up about how unprocessed grief, broken family dynamics, and emotional isolation quietly pushed him toward recklessness, anger, and self-destruction. But this conversation isn’t just about tragedy. It’s about what happens when a man finally stops running. We talk openly about men’s mental health, suicide prevention, integrity, faith, and why so many men suffer in silence until it feels unbearable. Stanley shares the lessons grief taught him, the power of forgiveness, and how community and honesty can save lives. If you’ve lost someone to suicide, struggled with your mental health, or wondered how to be a better man in a broken world, watch this episode to be reminded that you’re not alone and it’s never too late to choose a different path.

    I Was Abused But Thought It Was Love… Every Woman Needs To Hear This

    What do you do when the person you love becomes the person you fear most? In today’s episode, I sit down with Lyndsey Hackford, a woman whose story left me shaken, heartbroken, and in absolute awe of her strength. For 18 years, Lyndsey lived inside an abusive marriage that slowly stole her voice, her identity, and nearly her life. What started as subtle manipulation spiraled into control, isolation, physical violence, and moments where she genuinely didn’t know if she would survive the night. Her children witnessed things no child ever should. And yet, Lyndsey found a way out. In this conversation, Lyndsey walks us through the moments that changed everything: the fear, the near-death experiences, the police intervention, the escape, the trial, and the long, painful road to rebuilding her life. If you’ve lived through trauma, domestic abuse, emotional manipulation, or you’re trying to support someone who has, her story will stay with you. Watch this episode to hear Lyndsey’s message of hope, courage, and reclaiming your life, no matter how dark things have been.
