When Wally Klatch was diagnosed with dementia in late 2022, everyone expected despair. Instead, he found his true meaning. This is a raw, deeply honest conversation about facing the end of life on your own terms, and how a devastating diagnosis became the exact catalyst Wally needed to move his life out of his head and into his guts.

About This Episode:

Every 13 minutes in America, a man dies by suicide. This podcast exists to push back that clock by helping men discover, learn, and live their Why.

In this episode, Dr. Baruch "B" HaLevi and Wally explore:

The "Living-Dying Duet": How to face the end of life with courage, clarity, and peace.
Mild Emotional Enhancement (MEE): Wally's radical reframe of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI).
Shevirat HaKelim & Kintsugi: The Kabbalistic concept of shattering vessels and why there is nothing more whole than a broken heart.
The "Epitaphing" Ritual: Wally's daily practice of transmitting values, poems, and legacy to his four children in Israel.
Carrying the Light: A breathtaking moment where Dr. B shares his own father’s suicide and asks Wally to carry the light across the threshold.

This is not a story about tragedy. It is a living masterclass on how to carry the fire, choose your own music, and broadcast your essence into a resonating world.

💙 If you or someone you love is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline, US) or reach out to a local crisis line. You matter.
