Chris Lee: Being a Creative and a Journey Back from Despair
Have Questions? Got some ideas on what you want to hear? Text us!
**Trigger warning: This episode talks explicitly about suicidal ideation and depression. If you are in crisis please call or text 988.
Ed and Kellie sit down with their long-time friend and FOR Students’ Videographer and Graphic Designer, Chris Lee. They talk playing music, becoming a full-time creative, and the stresses of working for non-profits with small teams. Very quickly, however, Chris opens up and is incredibly vulnerable around his marriage, boundaries, deteriorating mental health, separation, despair, and plans for suicide. It’s a tough and beautiful discussion around feeling lost and, with the help of friends, figuring out how to survive. You will be glad you listened.
