Derek Lakin-Mindfulness Changes Lives; Death of his father; Overcoming suicidal depression; Medication + Therapy; Ketamine; Shifting from anger -> compassion

“Depression almost ended my life. Mindfulness transformed it. Now, my mission is to make mindfulness accessible and practical for anyone seeking authentic, lasting change” - Derek Lakin

Derek is our first guest on "Remember This. Remember Me." This is a real and honest conversation about mental health and how we can find our own unique way to healing. 

We talk about the death of his father, medication and therapy. He opens up about his suicidal depression in 2023 and what ultimately saved his life. Derek shares his personal experience about anger and suffering. And we end the conversation talking about a recent bike accident, which validated Derek is truly making a positive change in the world through mindfulness.
