Rise of the Phoenix – The Lie Suicide Tells and the Truth: You Are Enough

Lindsay Stadel is a wife, mother, grandmother, and accomplished entrepreneur who leads four successful companies: Stadel Farms, Inc., S & S Harvesting, LLC, Flinthills Transport, LLC, and TLS Logistics, LLC. Her commitment to mental health advocacy is rooted in personal experience with suicide loss and her own journey through mental health challenges. As an award‑winning author, she uses her writing and her voice to confront stigma and support those struggling with suicidal thoughts. Lindsay is now expanding her work into public speaking to help organizations address mental health with honesty, compassion, and hope.

Lindsey’s story isn’t polished or dramatic; it’s the story of someone who kept going when stopping felt easier. This isn’t a lecture, and it isn’t a slogan. It’s a conversation about what survival actually looks like when you’re in the middle of the fire and can’t see anything past the pain. It’s about the part of you that hasn’t had the chance to exist yet — the part that comes after the collapse, after the shame, after the silence. The phoenix doesn’t rise because it’s strong. It rises because it isn’t done.

Audio note: This episode was recorded in November, during a stretch when I was still recovering from throat surgery and dealing with some Windows‑side recording issues. You may hear a few rough spots because of that. The next episode, with Matthew Stevens, is the first one using the improved chain and the upgraded studio sound.

Robert Adleman

I am a 64-year-old male with ADHD, OCD, severe depression, severe  anxiety, and dyslexia. I struggled for 40 years working in the high-pressured Information technology field. Even though it was good money, I didn't have much luck in the financial department.
In 1991, at the age of 33, was when the severe anxiety attack occurred, and the support system was not there to handle it. So, I checked myself in to a mental hospital in Piscataway, NJ. That started my long road to recovery. After the attack, I was severely depressed and anxious for 6 months. This experience is detailed in episode four "Beating Severe Anxiety/Depression".
