Keep on Livin: Suicide Prevention Month
September is Suicide Prevention Month and I'm sharing a topic that should get more attention than it does, especially for Black women.
And as always whether you identify as such, you'll get something from this episode.

In this episode, I speak with a woman who attempted to harm herself several times over her lifetime. What she found is that life is a journey, not a destination.
She learned that this life is meant to be experienced and time should not be rushed. With the right tools, she was empowered to course correct her spiraling thoughts and practice radical gratitude, even when circumstances warranted a complaint at best. She reminds us to stick around a little bit longer to enjoy the moment.
While there are yucky parts of life, sometimes nearly unbearable, There are beautiful ones that can't be ignored as well. My guest urges us to be mindful of the seasons, the life that is around us, and allow that to ground us in our purpose, which is simply to be powerful, spiritual, loving beings.
