Ep. 31: It's a Mental Health Epidemic - Rising Suicide Rates

Happy Day, Friend! 

It’s suicide prevention month. 

Having been intimately touched by such a gut-wrenching experience at the passing of my older one’s father 5 years ago to suicide, I know deeply in my bones that these devastating tragedies can be prevented with proper support, including preventative measures that start in childhood. 

I talk about the current depression and suicide statistics, the possible “why” behind suicide, and what we can do to prevent so many precious lives from ending way too early.  

I also get a little vulnerable and raw with sharing my personal story as a suicide survivor. 

I would love to hear how you are using the 5 strategies I shared to help turn back this suicide rate tide! Every voice and action matters. 

If you or someone you know needs immediate help with suicide concerns, please reach out to suicidepreventationlifeline.org or call 800.273.TALK

This is a heavy topic. Take few moments to breathe deep and process. Please share with anyone that has been impacted by depression and/or suicide. 

And, after you dive into this episode… 

Please take a quick few to rate and review the show. 

I love feedback so I can continue to glow and grow and give you valuable content so you can continue to learn from some amazing thought leaders and continue to shine bright in all you do!   

And, don’t forget to spread the mindful love on social media!
