“Do I want to die?”

That’s not a question most people ask lightly.

But for Devin Fish… it became unavoidable.

In this episode, Devin shares a powerful comeback story shaped by trauma, loss, and years of internal struggle.

Growing up in poverty.
Family addiction.
Losing his mother.
Isolation, rejection, and patterns he couldn’t break… even when they were destroying him.

Until everything led to that one question.

What we cover:

• Trauma and instability growing up
• Addiction, loneliness, and validation-seeking
• Getting blackmailed online… and still going back
• The difference between wanting to die vs feeling stuck
• Identity breakdown and rebuilding from nothing
• Why most people don’t have a real “why”
• The power of asking better questions

This isn’t motivation.

It’s a real look at what happens when life stacks up…
and you’re forced to decide if you’re going to keep going.

Some people hit rock bottom.

Others slowly drift into a life that no longer feels aligned.

In this episode of The Next Fix, I sit down with Brandon Yager for a conversation about healing, identity, subconscious patterns, language, and what it really takes to change your life from the inside out.

Brandon shares how his grandfather introduced him to personal development at a young age, how success in business still exposed deeper internal blocks, and how that journey eventually led him into the transformational work he and his wife Debra now do together.

We get into things like:

• how your language shapes your life
• why so many people stay stuck in the same patterns
• the hidden danger of comfort and complacency
• how telling your story can become part of your healing
• why real change starts beneath the surface

This is a conversation about what happens when you stop blaming, start taking responsibility, and become willing to look deeper.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s another version of you inside there trying to come out… this one will hit.
