"I wasn’t planning to die because I hated life.

When you’re 17 and drowning, planning your way out can feel mature — logical even. But under the weight of toxic friend drama, family pressure, and a brutal breakup, Reese didn’t need a perfect plan. She needed someone to overhear the pain she didn’t know how to say out loud.

Enter Mrs. Jefferson. A quiet listener. A mom who knew what it meant to fight for life — and what it looked like when someone wanted to give up. What happens next isn’t a rescue. It’s a perspective shift. It’s the conversation that changes everything.

If you’ve ever thought you were the only one hurting, if you’ve ever felt invisible, or like the world would be better without you — this episode is for you.

Because sometimes, the voice that saves your life isn’t the one in your head.
