Episode notes
As you heard in Part 1 (listen to Part 1!) Felipe battled drugs and deep depression, but, after homelessness and several attempts at suicide, he made a conscience decision to live and rebuild his life. Part 2 of his incredible story is his road to recovery and to the starting line of the UCI Cyclocross World Championships. It was not an easy road, as it was filled with bumps, hills and deep valleys, but, as you'll hear, his persistence and determination eventually led him to the red jersey of the Costa Rican national team, representing his country in the CX World Champs for the first time. In this and the previous episode, we talk openly about depression and suicide - if you or someone you. know are having suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 24-7, 365 days a year - to talk to a trained counselor in your area. 1-800-273 TALK (8275). Help is available - and as Felipe shows, there is always a glimmer of hope. Follow Felipe on instagram at @puravida_watts or on facebook at Felipe Nystrom.
