TRIGGER WARNING - THIS EPISODE CONTAINS SUICIDE CONTENT, PLEASE BE ADVISED BEFORE LISTENING.

As is often the case, my desire to help others and bring goodness into this world has resulted in bringing my own personal growth along the way. I started this podcast in May of 2020 and I've learned so much in these short months...not just about social justice, mindfulnes, and about others...but also alot about myself.

In light of this week (Oct 4-10) being National Mental Illness Awareness Week and last month being National Suicide Prevention month I wanted to touch on a project & topic that is deeply personal to me and sensitive. In this episode I share more information about the Project Semicolon and some great resources from their site. I also share the helpline for NAMI (1-800-950-6264), which is available M-F 10a-6p ET. There is also a confidential crisis counseling number you can text...if in crisis text "NAMI" to 741741 at anytime 24/7.
You can visit their website here for more resources & information.

I do decide to get personal and share my own survival story. It was 23 years ago that I tried to take my own life. My hope is that by recovering out loud others won't suffer in silence. Remember, you are not alone, and your story doesn't have to be over.
