Suicide has, unfortunately, touched so many of us in some way. As it becomes more and more prevalent, we need to bring awareness to this issue, rather than sweeping it under the rug. It’s time to start speaking up to save lives!

Heather Georgieff joins the Self Love With Stephanie Podcast this week to discuss the topic of suicide and how to help yourself or someone you know who is battling suicidal thoughts. Heather is a Nationally Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor and founder of Neuroo Counseling, LLC, a private counseling and treatment telehealth service provider.

In this episode, Heather offers suggestions for those struggling with suicidal thoughts and for those that know someone who may be suicidal. She shares common warning signs of someone who is suicidal and explains that these signs will look different for everyone. While there can be a combination of multiple indications, oftentimes, someone who is suicidal will experience feelings of hopelessness and emptiness, which is a primary indicator of suicidal thoughts. Heather talks about the different resources and ways to help someone who is suicidal. She explains the importance of finding and creating a safe space when you or someone you care about is suicidal and speaks into what a safe space is.

Heather speaks truth of the power we have over our thoughts and emotions. Her insight and compassion bring comfort as she reminds us to give ourselves time to process our emotions instead of allowing them to consume us.

“Suicidal thoughts are actually fairly common, especially if you’re going through a high-stress situation. If you’re experiencing depression, grief, or even some severe anxiety, thoughts about suicide are fairly normal.” –Heather Georgieff

In life, we face hardship and carry the weight of the darkness we have lived through. At times, that darkness can weigh you down so much, and it can feel like you’ll never escape that pain. It can feel like the only way out is suicide.

Suicide is something that has become far too prevalent in our world today. If you’ve struggled with suicidal thoughts or know someone who has, remember that although it may not seem like it, there are so many beautiful, incredible blessings waiting for you if you just cling to hope.

With real and raw honesty, Stephanie shares her own experience of overcoming hardship and surviving her battle with depression and suicidal thoughts. Through solidarity and empathy, she reminds us that despite all the hurt that we carry, we are still strong and worthy of a fulfilling, magnificent life. The answer doesn’t have to be suicide; there is life after pain. She even expresses her thankfulness for that season and recognizes that without the pain she felt and the thoughts she had of suicide she wouldn’t have the blessings she does today. Remember to celebrate your journey and the strength you have to overcome suicide. This episode of the Self Love With Stephanie Podcast is proof that there is joyous life to be lived and that no matter how difficult it may be to see in the present, suicide is never the solution. Be encouraged to keep fighting. Be inspired to count your blessings. Be reminded that you are loved. Be assured that you offer value to this world. Believe that there is hope for a wonderful future because you deserve it and have the power to achieve it!

Challenge: Every time you feel suicidal thoughts sneaking in, seek help whether that is from a friend, family member, or a medical professional! You are an amazing gift in this world, and we need you in it!!

Beauty isn’t skin deep—it’s soul-deep. In this episode, Stephanie speaks into how wearing makeup and using beauty products fits into practicing self-love. Women all define self-love differently, and it’s important to remember that what works for one may not work for another. She chats about the belief of many that the beauty industry exploits women’s insecurities and how we can overcome this through self-love and intentional buying. Stephanie offers a refreshing perspective recognizing that at the core of self-love is finding and doing things that make us, as women, feel beautiful and happy. Stephanie encourages women to take back power from the beauty industry by practicing mindful shopping and being aware of the reasoning behind our purchase. After all, women are a force of nature, so when we feel confident and beautiful, we radiate self-love, and when we love ourselves, we thrive!

Challenge: Reflect on the products that make you feel undeniably beautiful. These are the products that bring joy to your heart. Next time you make a purchase, ask yourself why you want it. If it’s because you’re trying to mask a source of insecurity, don’t buy it. But if it’s because you’re excited about it and it makes you feel beautiful, then buy the damn thing, sister!

Have you ever had a moment where everything is fine and the next moment you feel like you are in fight, flight, or freeze mode? Have you been so triggered that you spend the next few hours or even days trying to get back to ‘normal’? What if I told you, you can teach yourself to get the control back within minutes by using your 5 senses.

In this episode of Self Love with Stephanie, I share my story of when I was going through an unexpected surgery and I was triggered to a moment that happened over a decade ago. Triggered to a moment that I have done a TON of work to work through, I was triggered to the moment when I was raped at 17 years old. But in the moment of when I got triggered, I did the work and I was able to get my control back before they were able to fully put me under.

I talk in-depth on how I unconsciously used my 5 senses when I was triggered in a surgery room. And how that allowed me to get my power back in that moment.

Listen in to learn how you can focus your brain to get control of the moments when you might be triggered and take your power back.

What you will learn:

[4:57] Learn how to focus on being calm by feeling (using your 5 senses) the present moment rather than the incident. 

[8:32] How to feel how to use your sense of touch to ground you to the present moment. 

[8:49] How to use sight as a way to step into your power.

[9:10] Learn how to listen to your surroundings for any differences that will remind you that you are in a safe space.

[9:45] Focus on the taste of anything you can.

[10:05] Think of any smell that will take your brain away from the smell of the trigger scene.
