Rebuilding Yourself Through Grief | Richard Leigh | SC112
He built a PR company from nothing, broke cycles that weren't meant to be broken — and then lost his younger brother Jordan to suicide at 27. That note Jordan left him said "to the father I never had." That line broke Rich Leigh completely. In this episode Rich talks about what happens when the identity you built your entire adult life around collapses overnight — grief, rock bottom, drinking to stop feeling, and the slow, painful process of finding out who you actually are when the work stops defining you. He also gives the most honest answer to the question this channel gets asked most: where do you even start when you're completely lost? His answer is agency — not the motivational poster kind. The real kind. This channel is for people who feel stuck in a version of their life that doesn't fit anymore — and are quietly trying to figure out what comes next. Chapters; 00:21 - Battling with Identity 16:00 - The Crisis has never been worse 26:05 - Trying to define Grief 31:24 - Step One to Finding Yourself 42:48 - What Jeremy Lynch is actually like 49:16 - The Manosphere Documentary Follow Rich on Instagram: @richleighpod | Podcast: Project Possible on YouTube & Spotify.
