  • I Drove to the Mountain to End My Life But Then This Happened
    Jan 27 2026

    What happens when the gun fires… but you wake up anyway?


    In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Nick Rossborough, a former professional fighter who lost his identity, his marriage, and nearly his life. One night, alone on a mountain with a pistol in his hand, Nick made a decision he believed would end the pain. But something happened that shouldn’t be possible. And moments later, a small voice from inside his house changed everything.


    Nick takes us inside the darkest night of his life, the divorce, the identity collapse, the silent suffering so many men hide, and the long road back through trauma healing, breathwork, purpose, and learning to love himself again.


    This isn’t just a survival story.

    It’s a wake-up call.


    If you’ve ever felt lost, numb, or ready to give up, this conversation is for you.

  • The Hotel Call That Changed Our Lives Forever
    Jan 20 2026

    What do you do when your worst fear comes true… and no one even knows the truth?


    In this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Adriana Sansam, a mother whose life changed forever when her husband died alone in a hotel room from an accidental overdose. One moment he was on a work trip. The next, she was racing for answers, convinced something was wrong before anyone confirmed it.


    Adriana opens up about loving a recovering addict, hiding his addiction from everyone, and the devastating phone call that left her raising three young children alone. But this isn’t just a story about addiction and grief. It’s about breaking the stigma, telling the truth, and turning shame into purpose.

  • One Split Second And My Life Was Never The Same
    Jan 13 2026

    What happens when the thing that defines you is taken away in a single moment?


    On this episode of The Roller Coaster Podcast, I sit down with Mahi Crabbe, a former full-time musician who nearly lost his life in a brutal rock-crawling accident that crushed his hand and shattered his identity as an artist on November 3, 2018.


    In a matter of seconds, Mahi went from touring and playing sold-out shows to lying in an ambulance, convinced his career was over. The injury didn’t just threaten his ability to play guitar, it forced him to confront deeper questions about purpose, faith, manhood, and how to provide for the family he always dreamed of building.


    We talk about the night everything changed, the fear of starting over, the anger he carried toward God, and how losing his “guitar hand” ultimately led him to build an entirely new life as a business owner and father.


    If you’ve ever had your plans ripped away, your identity shaken, or your faith tested, this conversation will hit home.


    Watch this episode to see how losing everything became the beginning of something bigger.
