Welcome to Unbreakable: Life’s toughest tests

A road map to survive life’s ups & downs.

You made it here — and that already says something about you. This community is built for anyone who’s been knocked down by life but refuses to stay down. No matter your age, background, or story… you belong here.

I’m Richard Dheilly — a retired firefighter of 35 years, a father, a PTSD survivor, someone who has lived with Bipolar Disorder, gone through divorce, raised three boys, and found healing through photography.

My story isn’t perfect. It’s messy, painful, and at times, nearly ended. But it’s real — and it’s proof that you can survive.

This space isn’t just about my story — it’s about all of our stories. Together, we can help each other carry the weight, share the roadmap, and find the strength to keep going.

✅ How to Use This Community

🔹 Share your story.

Post about the highs and lows of your journey. Someone out there needs to hear it.

🔹 Ask questions.

If you’re struggling, reach out. The community is here to listen and help.

🔹 Support others.

📚 Explore the Classroom

Inside you’ll find my book The Picture That Saved My Life and other lessons drawn from real experiences with firefighting, mental health, fatherhood, and photography.

📅 Join Live Conversations

Check the calendar for upcoming calls — sometimes scheduled, sometimes spontaneous. These are safe spaces where we can connect in real time.

❤️ The Rule Here Is Simple

Be real. Be respectful. And remember — your story has the power to help someone else survive.

👉 Start here: Drop a short intro about yourself below.

🔹 Who are you?

🔹 What’s one challenge you’ve faced (or are facing)?

Let’s build this together.
