Suicide Hotline: 988

Today, I open season eight of Couple O’ Nukes with a solo episode that explores the heavy but necessary topic of courage and morality in the face of suicide prevention. As we celebrate the milestone of more than 200 episodes and approach the three-year anniversary of this podcast, I take a moment to reflect on my own journey — not just as a host, but as someone who has been in difficult situations where lives were at stake.

In this episode, I share my contributing chapter to the new book Survival to Thrive: Courage. My chapter, The Intersections of Morality and Courage, is a raw and personal account of my first major experience with suicide prevention during bootcamp. I dive into the moral crossroads service members often face when deciding whether to report a suicidal individual, the weight of those decisions, and how these choices impact both the individual at risk and those around them.

Alongside reading the chapter, I expand on the importance of individualized care when addressing suicidal ideation. I emphasize the need for personal connection, thoughtful action, and moral courage, rather than rushing to institutional solutions alone. This episode also connects listeners to suicide prevention resources and highlights the ongoing Survival to Thrive trilogy, which aims to spark conversations around resilience, healing, and purpose.

Whether you are military, civilian, or simply someone who wants to better understand how to support others in crisis, this episode is designed to equip you with perspective and encouragement to face these difficult situations with wisdom and compassion.
