I think it’s safe to say that many of us struggle with dark thoughts at one time or another but just how bad does have to get to take you to the point of suicide? On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are talking with Amanda Webster about her battle with depression that put her on the ledge of a hotel room window and what brought her back.

Amanda is a fitness model and certified wellness coach who overcame depression on her own terms after years of being guinea-pigged on anti-depressants, losing her parents and succumbing to addiction and self-harm led her to a ledge in a Canadian hotel room where she almost took her life.

As we move toward businesses slowly opening up again, I thought this would be a good time to reflect on what it takes to be an authentic leader in troubled times. The past few months have been unprecedented in terms of a global shutdown. We have never seen a time when the world essentially stopped and most of us were forced to work from home. On this episode of Authentic Living with Roxanne, we are happy to welcome back HR Expert, Neil Cosby.

Neil Cosby is a seasoned Senior Human Resources professional with HR generalist experience spanning over 20 years. Neil is a true believer in the necessity for solid HR infrastructure in any organization that must be aligned with the overall business goals and objectives.
