LKE 2.7 || For When You Feel Like Giving Up – Real Talk with TJ Murphy

March was supposed to be a month of success mantras and lovingkindness meditations, but life doesn’t always go as planned. On March 5th, I lost my friend—who I’ll call Bobby—to suicide. Grief hit hard, and with it came reflection, heartbreak, and the urgent need to speak on something deeper.

In early 2024, I met TJ Murphy at an e-bike shop here in Atlanta. What started as a casual conversation turned into an open discussion about suicide, loss, and the impact it leaves behind. In this episode, I’m sharing part of that conversation—TJ’s experience losing his father to suicide, how he processed the information, and the wisdom he has for anyone struggling with a hard time. Alongside the words of TJ Murphy from Decatur we also hear a reflection from Kindness Calloway on "Bobby’s" passing, a message to anyone who feels like they can’t keep going.
