A Voice For The Voiceless: Overcoming Suicide, Homelessness, And Narcissistic Parents
Manage episode 490987054 series 3450378
Today, I sit down with Chris Milson — host of Voice for the Voiceless and founder of the Mental Health Movement — to unpack a life journey defined by trauma, betrayal, and ultimately, transformation. This conversation, set up by our mutual friend and past guest Dr. Brian Licuanan, dives deep into Chris’s childhood growing up in a broken, abusive home and how those experiences led to suicide attempts, homelessness, and a lifelong struggle for validation and healing.
Mr. Milson opens up about the pain of watching his family fall apart, being bullied for his appearance, and growing up with a mother battling addiction and narcissism. We talk about the emotional scars left behind when the people who should love you the most tear you down instead. From being sent away after a suicide attempt to feeling invisible and unworthy, Mr. Milson takes us through some of the darkest moments of his life — and how therapy, friendship, and purpose helped him find light again.
We explore the creation of his podcast and the challenges he faced trying to tell his story in a world full of gatekeepers. Mr. Milson shares the inspiration behind Voice for the Voiceless — his late brother who believed in him when no one else did — and why he continues to fight for honest conversations around men's mental health. We cover betrayal trauma, podcasting as therapy, the power of community, and how to reclaim your story no matter where you started.
