This - by far - is our heaviest episode to date. We included it in this season because of the increase of successful suicides that have been in the media, as well as in our lives since the pandemic began. Is there a connection? Or is it our culture increasing the pressure? We may not have the answers, but we will discuss some of the issues impacting this discussion and offer some hope. Please note that the show resources offer so many options for connection for anyone who needs extra support at this time.
Check out Episode Five as we dive into this heavy, but a very important topic, and as always, we are curious to know what you think!
Have a great Monday everyone -
