I don’t just speak about su***de prevention, I’ve lived it. There was a point in my life when I came frighteningly close to ending it all. The pain, the loneliness, the weight of everything I was carrying felt unbearable. In that moment, I truly believed the world would be better off without me.
But I didn’t give up. I took steps, hard steps, to fight my way back:
• I went to therapy and began doing the work.
• I became accountable for the ways I had been living.
• I learned to feel my emotions instead of running from them.
• I started finding safer people who could hold space for me.
• I found hope knowing that if I could pull myself through this darkness, I could one day help someone else pull through theirs.
That hope became my mission. 🌱
It is why I show up here. It is why I speak about healing, trauma, and the roots we all carry. Because someone out there right now is where I once was, and I want you to know: you are not alone, and your story is not over.
