Five days after his 43rd birthday, Aaron Gamble nearly ended his life.

Married. Two kids. A solid career in the film industry. On the outside, everything looked “right.”
On the inside, years of suppressed trauma, burnout, and self-betrayal finally caught up with him.

After a fight with his wife, Aaron stood upstairs holding a bottle of Xanax—25 pills—and thought, “I could just take these and never wake up.”

Then something happened.

An image flashed in his mind:
His two kids, sitting on the living room floor, laughing and playing Uno.

That image saved his life.

In this deeply honest conversation, Aaron shares:
• What it feels like to reach the edge
• Why men suppress emotions until they explode
• How childhood trauma silently shapes adulthood
• What really happens inside a psychiatric unit
• Why divorce became the catalyst for healing
• How CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, and breathwork changed everything
• The truth behind his core belief: We are NOT the stories we tell ourselves

Aaron calls his time in residential treatment his “Mental Health College Experience.”
And what he learned there became his life’s mission: helping men rewrite the narratives that keep them stuck in shame, silence, and survival mode.

Today, Aaron is a transformational life coach, speaker, and creator of Dad Mode Activated, guiding men back to presence, emotional integrity, and authentic leadership.

⚠️ If you or someone you love is struggling,this episode may feel close to home—but you are not alone.

This isn’t surface-level wellness talk.
This is a real conversation about suicide, divorce, masculinity, fatherhood, healing, and the quiet courage it takes to start over.

What happens when your heart stops… and your old life ends with it?

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Jeff Luther shares what it’s like to collapse in front of your child, be clinically dead for eight minutes, and wake up to a diagnosis that changes everything.

Jeff didn’t just survive sudden cardiac death—he had to relearn how to live, physically, mentally, and emotionally. What began as a fight to take a few steps became a radical commitment to rebuilding his life 30 seconds at a time.

In this episode, Jeff opens up about:
• What goes through your mind during the process of dying
• The identity collapse that follows life-altering diagnoses
• Why resilience isn’t about motivation—it’s about action
• How beliefs shape our present, not just our future
• The stories we tell ourselves—and how to rewrite them
• Why progress is measured in moments, not milestones

This isn’t a highlight-reel comeback story.
It’s a truth-telling conversation about fear, loss, rebuilding, and choosing to show up when nothing feels guaranteed anymore.

If you’ve ever:
• Faced a health scare
• Felt betrayed by your body
• Lost certainty about your future
• Needed to rebuild from the ground up
• Wondered how to keep going when life goes off script

This episode will hit home.

Jeff’s story proves that success isn’t about completion—it’s about action, even when the only win is the next 30 seconds.
