This podcast dives deep into the heavy topic of mental health and the importance of reaching out for help. I share my own struggles with suicidal thoughts and the moments that almost led me to take that irreversible step. It's crucial for us to understand that asking for help is not a sign of weakness; it’s a brave step toward healing. I emphasize that feeling alone is common, but it’s essential to remember that you don’t have to face your battles by yourself. Together, we explore how important it is to simply be there for someone who is suffering, to listen without judgment, and to remind each other that we’re not alone in this journey.

In this episode I share my story of how I tried to commit suicide. Not an easy one to share, however I do it because hopefully it might save someone's life. It might save your life one day, or a friend of yours.
