About
Who am I?
-
I am a suicide prevention/motivational speaker, author, and content creator striving towards bringing hope and changing people's hearts, minds, and souls.
Who do I help?
-
The younger generation that are suffering from suicidal ideations, anxiety, depression, tragic life events, and lack of purpose.
How do I help them?
-
I meet them where they are at by first sharing my experience of not only losing my dad to suicide but also sharing my own personal experience with suicidal ideations & life struggles.
-
I then explain to them all of the lessons that God showed me throughout my life on how to overcome depression, suicidal thoughts, and traumatic experiences.
-
After listening to these lessons, it will give them the tools to overcome their past, cope with their present, and thrive in their future.
Why do I help them?
-
I don't want to see them suffer the way that I suffered or even worse, the way that my dad suffered.
-
There are too many young people taking their lives when their life has barely started and over things that are either preventable, temporary, or that are things that I can help walk them through.
-
It is my God given mission to save the younger generation from "themselves".

Book
"From Depression & Suicidal Thoughts to Purpose: 29 lessons God showed me on how to overcome depression, suicidal thoughts, and traumatic experiences" is a deeply personal journey about the life of Nathan Soltau.
For most of his life, he suffered from pain, depression, lack of purpose, low self-worth and self-esteem, and suicidal thoughts. After a couple of close family members died from suicide, his life hit rock bottom. Then one night, everything changed. God came into his life and showed him that all of the pain that he suffered for the majority of his life was all for a reason. Little did he know it at the time, but God was painting a picture of life lessons along his life's journey on how to overcome depression, suicidal thoughts, and traumatic experiences.
Suicide has sadly become an epidemic in the world that we live in and is something that is very hard to talk about. But I am willing to be as transparent as I possibly can in this book order to help as many people as possible because everybody's life matters. YOU MATTER! This book is for everyone regardless of if you believe in God or not. This remarkable story will change your life!
