The Suicide Solution

  Each week, after recording my podcast for the week, I'm diving deeper with a follow-up blog post!  Spotify Amazon Music iTunes iHeart Radio   I'm currently doing a series called  Your Inner North Star . Today, we're going to talk about  Decoding Intuition,  the second  episode in the series.  I don't know about you, but if you have intuition, it is truly a whisper. It's like so many times we just ignore it, and then whenever it's screaming at us, we might listen. Intuition is a really funny thing. After I had attempted to take my own life, I spent a good year and a half just really not in a good place.

So this year I thought of it again. I had attempted to take my own life in January of 2013. I have spent the last almost 12 years really healing and working on myself and growing and basically learning how to save my own life every single day. I have always struggled with suicidal thoughts, had suicidal ideation before I even knew or understood what suicide meant. I was a very young girl. Over time, I realized through a series of events that I was suicidal and what that meant. My mom took me to counseling, just a bunch of other things that I'll dive into as we get going. I want to tell you that there ...
