EPISODE DISCLAIMER! - PLEASE READ FIRST!

Allies,

Welcome to today’s lesson. Before we dive in, I want to take amoment to acknowledge the sensitive nature of the topic we’re discussing.Today, we’ll be exploring mental health, depression, and suicide—subjects that can be deeply personal and emotional.

If at any point during this episode, you feel overwhelmed or triggered, please know it’s okay to step away. Your well-being is the most important thing. If you need immediate support, I encourage you to reach out to the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. By calling or texting 988, you’ll be connected to trained counselors who are there to listen, support, and help you through whatever you’re facing.

We’re having this conversation today because it’s an important one. Depression and suicide impact so many lives, and it’s crucial that we shed light on these struggles. By talking openly, we hope to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and remind anyone listening that they are not alone.

So, whether you’re here to better understand these challenges, support someone you care about, or perhaps find comfort for yourself, know that you are valued, you are loved, and you have an ally here. Let’s walk through this together.
