He Tried to End It—Now He’s Saving Others

“I shouldn’t be here… but maybe my story can save someone else.”

In this raw and deeply personal episode, Queon Wilcox sits down with Jason Tyler McLean, a suicide attempt survivor who turned his darkest moment into a mission to help others.

Jason opens up about:

His childhood trauma and years of silent pain

The moment everything nearly ended

His battle with substance abuse and shame

The power of vulnerability, support systems, and recovery

How he's now giving hope to other men who feel trapped in silence

This isn’t just a conversation — it’s a call to action. For the men suffering in silence. For the friends who don’t know what to say. For anyone who thinks they’re alone.
