Yisroel Brownstein is a survivor of United Flight 232, which crashed in Sioux City, Iowa, in 1989. At just nine years old, he endured unimaginable trauma, and throughout his life, he has faced many trials that tested his strength and resilience. His journey through mental health and healing is deeply personal, shaped by years of struggle, survival, and self-discovery. For the first time ever, he is sharing his full story—one of pain, perseverance, and the search for meaning in the aftermath of tragedy.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions about death and mental health challenges.
