In this powerful second episode, Trilby and Crystal sit down with special guest Wesley Walker to continue the conversation about suicide and jump into unpacking the complexities of parenting in today’s world. From shifting family dynamics to the emotional weight our kids carry, they explore how parenting has evolved and the unique challenges and fears that come with raising children in a generation facing increasing mental health struggles and how as parents, we are doing the best we can. 

Trigger Warning: This episode discusses suicide and mental health. Please listen with care.

Watch, share, and join the conversation. It’s time to talk about the things we often keep silent.

In this powerful first episode of our three-part series Elephant in the Room: Suicide, hosts Crystal and Trilby open up an honest and compassionate dialogue around one of the most difficult but necessary topics, suicide.

Why are we hearing about suicide more often? Why is it showing up in our own communities? And most importantly, how do we talk about it in a way that breaks stigma and brings hope?

To help us navigate this heavy but vital conversation, we’re joined by our very first guest, licensed therapist and fellow podcaster, Wesley Walker. With his professional insight and down-to-earth perspective, Wesley helps break down mental health barriers, encourages real talk, and offers guidance on how we can show up for ourselves and others.

You are not alone. Let’s break the silence, support each other, and change the conversation.
