Last year Sasha talked to us about her younger sister’s suicide, and the impact her family’s unwillingness to talk about it had on her mental health. This time, she talks to Juleyka about speaking openly about her bipolar disorder, learning to say “no” as part of self-care, and using the movie Encanto to talk about her deceased sister with nieces and nephews who never met her.

The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline also offers 24/7 confidential support. Their number is 800-273-8255. If you loved this episode, listen to Sasha's original episode When a Sister Commits Suicide Part1, and Part 2.
