In this powerful episode of The Midnight Founders Podcast, we sit down with Brandy Vega, CEO of Promise2Live—a life-saving nonprofit dedicated to suicide prevention and mental health awareness.
Brandy shares her deeply personal story of how a crisis in her own home sparked a mission to help others facing similar battles. Through Promise2Live, she’s created a movement encouraging individuals to make a simple yet powerful commitment: to promise to live and to reach out when in need.
We talk about:
-
The heartbreaking story that inspired the foundation
-
How Promise2Live is using digital campaigns and real-world outreach to make a difference
-
Why vulnerability and connection are the antidotes to silent suffering
-
The challenges of founding a nonprofit rooted in pain—and the healing that can follow
This episode is a must-listen for anyone passionate about mental health, social impact, or finding purpose through adversity.
