In this episode, I explore suicide prevention not from the edge of crisis, but from the quiet places where meaning begins to erode—often, first thing in the morning. I share a personal reflection on how dopamine, novelty, and connection shape our sense of aliveness, and how a simple morning practice I call CALM—Check in, Activate, Learn, Make connection—can be a lifeline. This isn’t a conversation about fixing everything. It’s about staying. One morning at a time.
