About this episode

Angela welcomes Neal Tricarico to discuss grief, the myth of “closure,” and finding meaning after profound loss. Neal shares his background working for more than two decades alongside Tony Robbins and his earlier spiritual training through Deepak Chopra, including meditation, and explains how those tools were tested when his son Anthony died by suicide two years ago. He describes Anthony’s high-functioning autism, depression during COVID, gaps they experienced in autism and mental-health support, and the statistics around suicidality for autistic youth. Neal and his wife founded the Endurant Movement nonprofit to raise awareness and help families, and he outlines his “Endurant Way,” a philosophy of carrying pain and joy at the same time, emphasizing community, purpose, and post-traumatic growth as distinct from resilience.Neal Tricarico - A Way Forward for Adults Carrying Unresolved Painhttps://www.nealtricarico.com/
