Self Awareness is the Only Game in Town with Thomas Brown

Thomas Brown is an author, cyclist, mental health advocate, and the founder of R.I.S.E.—Revolution Inspired Self Evolution, whose journey began when he lost his brother to suicide in 2001.     Eleven years later, along with a friend who also lost a brother to suicide, he set out on a cross-country bicycle tour for suicide awareness and the healing power of art. He is the host of the Inner Monologue podcast, and author of the book titled “2012 A Bicycle Odyssey,” which tells the story of his cross-country adventure.   Thomas shares his own personal struggles with depression prior to his brother’s suicide, and why be believes that his brother’s death was a result of his lack of awareness and inability to know and understand himself. This launched Thomas on his own journey of introspection and self-awareness, including his many insights and revelations during his cross-country bike tour, which was not only a journey of healing but a mission to raise suicide awareness as well as prevention. In spite of the difficult subject, Thomas tells his story and recounts his bicycle tour with an incredible sense of humor along with the many life lessons he learned along the way, including how he met the love of his life during the trip.    http://www.risephoenix.org/ https://www.facebook.com/risephoenix2012/ https://www.instagram.com/_rise_philosophy/ https://www.tiktok.com/@rise_phx?_t=8nr9tf3EF8I&_r=1 https://www.iasp.info/suicidalthoughts/ Call or text 988
