Grief, Suicide & Healing: An Exclusive Conversation with Elle Fisher | Yachting USA - PART ONE

What does it mean to survive multiple losses—and still find the courage to heal, write, and advocate for others?



In this deeply moving first of a two-part series of Yachting USA, host Rick Thomas sits down in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, with Elle Fisher — Author & Advocate — to explore her extraordinary journey through suicide, grief, addiction, resilience, and self-discovery.



Filmed on location at Mahekal® Beach Resort, this conversation is unlike any other on Yachting USA—a raw, unfiltered look at the impact of death and survival, and the human capacity to rebuild from devastation.



Elle shares:

✅ Losing her mother at 16 and the silence surrounding grief

✅ How addiction and workaholism became coping mechanisms

✅ Transitioning from music PR to a career in luxury yachting

✅ The tragic death of her friend Jess in Ibiza

✅ A spiritual search for healing in Bali

✅ Losing her cousin Dakota and her fiancé Christian to suicide

✅ Why she ultimately walked away from yachting to choose life and healing in Mexico



Whether you’ve faced loss yourself, or want to understand the unseen battles so many carry, Elle’s story is a testament to survival, honesty, and the importance of speaking openly about suicide and grief.
