September is Suicide Awareness Month, and today I’m opening up by sharing my own story. Too often, we assume someone is “okay” just because of how they look on the outside—but appearances can be misleading. In this episode, I encourage you to hold space for those around you, listen with compassion, and remember that suicide ideation is real. It’s not attention-seeking—it’s a cry for help, and no one should have to carry that weight alone. 💜

Alice Walker is still very much alive and well however, I realized me saying “God bless her soul” it could be interpreted to mean otherwise so I wanted to ensure I named that.
