In this episode, we explore how meaningful conversation can be divided into three emotional spaces — even if you live alone:

• 🛏️ Pillow Talk: A space for vulnerability, emotional honesty, and self-compassion
• 🛋️ Couch Talk: Reflecting on purpose, identity, and how we relate to the world
• 🍳 Kitchen Talk: Dynamic, messy conversations powered by movement, action, and emotion
• Historical, literary, and talk show examples that illustrate each type
• How to have these conversations with yourself when no one else is around

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.
