    Season 1, Episode 17


    ****disclaimer content as this episode I discuss suicide and self harm****


    Welcome to episode 17. It’s a tear jerker. Please look after yourself and call Lifeline on 131114 if you need assistance. Please also know that whilst I am not ok, and I am struggling, I am not suicidal.


    I start the episode with a song of the week which discusses our very human question of wanting to know why people go down the suicide paths.


    I then go on to speak about a colleague who has recently died by suicide and how that is currently impacting me.

    I play another song of the week to remind myself and listeners that there is still rainbows amidst the storms of life. Life, family and friends are worth fighting for. These are my rainbows.

    Why - Rascal Flatts
