TIW 022: Overcoming The Pain of Suicide – Its Impact on Our Family

The Influential Woman Podcast
Written By Trish Jones

Your mental health is of paramount importance. Today on The Influential Woman Podcast live, we get real and raw.

As a family we know the pain and distress of suicide. In September 2018 my cousin took his own life.

Following the Oprah interview with Meghan and Harry, we felt the need to bust some myths about mental health. So in this podcast we talk about what most people "think" suicidal people "look like" compared to what is actually going on beneath the surface that the biggest broadest laugh will never reveal.

In this special episode of The Influential Woman Podcast Live, you get to glimpse into our living room as myself, my cousin, Sharron (sister of my cousin who took his life) and my baby girl, Elodie talk about: 

  • mental health awareness 

  • Meghan and Harry interview with Oprah, but our conversation goes much deeper than Meghan and Harry

  • our personal experience of suicide
