October 01, 2019 12:00 - 24 minutes - 15.6 MBThe last time she attempted suicide (her 5th) a few years ago, this week's guest, D'Tondja Foster aka Deedee did not think she would survive it. In fact, something told her it was going to be her last... She made sure she planned it out well, left no stone unturned, swept her house and cleaned up everywhere.

September 24, 2019 12:00 - 42 minutes - 27.4 MBIn this special episode, I am publishing one of my recent Facebook Live videos as a podcast in honor of September being National Suicide Prevention Awareness Month. I talk about the top 13 reasons why your teen might end their life through suicide. I also discuss the signs of suicidal behavior and who is at most risk. It is a very special episode more so because my primary focus is teen suicide, and my primary avatar is parents and caregivers and they are the ones I am speaking with direct...
Sharon K. Edward's Page - 1; When Grandma is also an Activist!
September 17, 2019 11:00 - 42 minutes - 26.9 MBY'all, I had SO much fun interviewing Sharon! She is a HOOT! She describes herself as a wife of an Army Veteran, a mother of 2 and a grandmother. I describe her as a warrior, a survivor, a woman with a golden heart, on a mission to give voice to the voiceless and the invisible. With her nonprofit movement, aptly called I AM INVISIBLE (I Am Invisible Bullying and Suicide Movement), she is reaching hearts and breaking barriers and creating awareness for (you guessed it) bullying. Once c...
Vicki's Page Part 1; Do you ever feel like YOU ARE NOT ENOUGH?
September 10, 2019 11:00 - 44 minutes - 29.6 MBListening to this episode, one would not believe that Vicki and I just met a few minutes before this recording. We had an awesome time together. Though heavy at times, we still found space to laugh and enjoy the recording, it is obvious that both our passions shine through. She like me, is a firm believer in abolishing bullying. Vicki was inspired to join the anti-bullying fight after watching her son with special needs get bullied in the very worst way, by kids at school. She has been pro...
Beth's Page; ...Are you feeling like a functionally broken and displaced person? Are you tying your worth to $$?
September 03, 2019 11:00 - 39 minutes - 27 MBBeth Lopez, my first guest of Hispanic ancestry, was such a delight to interview. She calls herself a Universal Soul Coach, a Life Transformer, and CEO of Souls Awakening Academy. Growing up in a religious Hispanic house hold, her parents were very protective and had her life all planned out (who can relate?), and at one point she realized she was "living" her "parents' life". Unfortunately, no matter how loving and protective we parents are, we cannot protect our children from life, and ...
Debbie's Page; "Allowing herself to be a victim"
August 27, 2019 11:00 - 36 minutes - 20.7 MBFrom a very young age, Debbie knew she was different. She "felt" her bullying was her "fault". She lived in what she calls "victim-hood" from age 8 to age 16 as a result of incessant bullying from the same person as bystanders stood aside, watched, and even cheered on. As a victim, she had never blamed the bully, she always blamed herself. Even after telling her parents and doing some things to change her situation, the bullying continued. Her life was so difficult living as Debbie, that s...
Bullying and Suicide, the 411
August 20, 2019 13:18 - 46 minutes - 30.1 MBUnless you have been living under a huge rock, you must have heard about all the children and young people who have died from self-inflicted injuries lately. You must have heard that suicide is the second leading cause of death for our youth ages 10-34yr. Well, did you know that many of these suicides were as a result of bullying? Yes, a great majority of children who die by suicide are as a result of bullying... nearly 60% This is appalling considering the fact that bullying is so perva...

Estelle's Page; A story of Heartache, Pain, and Self-destruction, then, TRIUMPH!
August 06, 2019 11:00 - 37 minutes - 22.8 MBWith a name like Estelle, one expects a beautiful person, and I was not disappointed. This woman is nothing short of a beautiful soul inside and out. She has the most soothing voice and most calming demeanor. It is extremely hard to reconcile that image with the story of heartache, pain, and self-destruction that she tells. A story so hard to live with that she subconsciously "buries" it deep down in her heart for years. As a pediatrician and mother, some aspects of Estelle's suicide page ...
Wendy's Pages - Part 1; How early in age can we become aware that we are unhappy?
July 30, 2019 11:00 - 23 minutes - 15.1 MBDescribing herself as a "housewife with a GED", a grandmother and a "mathlexic", Wendy is one of those people whom you feel like you have known for a very long time upon first meeting her. She is funny, witty, and full of life. She also has a lot to say and has no problem saying it. Today, she takes us on a personal journey of torment and a mixture of betrayal and distrust as well as survival and a fair dose of hardship. She is smiling these days, but not before she felt all alone in the wor...

July 23, 2019 11:00 - 34 minutes - 24.2 MBOriginally from Scotland in the UK, Melanie moved to Australia to "escape her woes", but found out that they followed her-in her words, "through customs" . She tells her story of coming of age, and survival and making peace with her teenage decisions and overcoming a lifestyle that almost ruined her life. She is now grown and doing the work she "promised" she would do, and living life out loud. She has a FB group called "Speaking Styles" where she inspires other women/people to be their ...
Antionette Page 1; All about deleting NEGATIVITY
July 23, 2019 11:00 - 36 minutes - 23 MBAntoinette is originally from the Caribbean Islands, and currently living in Canada. She tells us a story about trials and survival. Suicide attempts and victory. "I must say, I don't blame anybody" are her words when it comes to her circumstances and the decisions she has made. She is, however, quick to add that the decision to suicide is never one that comes easy or that comes over a short time. She is thankful and grateful for life, and adds that "life is for the living". Nowadays, she ...

If you consider the fact that she is a self-proclaimed Humorist (Stand Up Comedian), a TEDx Speaker; winner of a Toastmasters Championship competition in 2014, a budding author, and an all-around beautiful soul, you would never know that she once not only contemplated suicide, but actually climbed on a NY bridge about ...
What is Suicide?
July 23, 2019 11:00 - 36 minutes - 25.4 MBIn this episode, I discuss suicide in a broad overview. The causes and confounding factors. I discuss some statistics briefly, and the fact that the majority of people who die by suicide do not have mental illness, they do so as a result of a triad of Hopelessness, Helplessness, and Despair. Overwhelming anguish coupled with other societal ills like poor governance, racism, non-compliance with meds, etc. Since suicide prevention is a global necessity, we must all roll up our sleeves and joi...
