GOING DUTCH PODCAST EPISODE 37: Connection Is The Cure With September Frogley, Founder.

She's a woman who rose from the ashes of brokenness to share something magical with the world.

September is the oldest of three siblings. Her middle brother, an amazing light in this world, faced a lot of darkness in his life. He dealt with anxiety, depression, and turned to addiction to drugs and alcohol. In the last year of his life, the drugs induced a state of schizophrenia that would not leave him, even in sobriety.

In May 2021, her brother committed suicide. Her family struggled greatly with this loss. Following this tragic event, September felt compelled to tell his story to help relieve suffering in the world. This led to her family creating Connection is the Cure, a space where mental health, addiction, and suicide are all open for discussion. 

When someone is deep into addiction, that addiction becomes the most important thing in their life. On the outside, it’s so easy to say “just stop”, but there needs to be consideration for the fact that their brain has changed. It’s not as easy to come out of addiction as you might think.

At the core of resolving these issues is prevention—for both addiction and suicide. You can learn more and join the cause at September’s upcoming event in Mesa, AZ with Brock Bevell and Ben Fuller. It’s a totally free event. You can also support Connection is the Cure by following them on social and sharing their posts to get the word out. If you feel like all is lost, just keep putting one foot in front of the other. There is hope.
