    On April 10, 2024, my youngest child attempted suicide. This episode discusses the topic of suicide as well has the trauma I have been faced with in the aftermath of that attempt. Please exercise discretion before listening. If you need to, feel free to skip this week's episode to best tend to your soul.


    In this episode I share a little more about the harrowing details of 4/10/24. I also, after weeks building anticipation, I FINALLY share with you the next big step on my new path.

  • Life Interrupted: Navigating An Unfathomable Mental Health Detour
    Apr 17 2024

    ***CONTENT WARNING***

    This episode discusses the sensitive topics of suicide and self-harm. Please take gentle care of yourself and skip this episode if the content may be too upsetting.

    This is not the update I had hoped to give you this week. However, it is one that is too life-altering not to share.


    Last week, we faced a mental health crisis that has turned my life upside down. In this week I share with you what's it's been like in the aftermath of a nearly life-ending event.
