This episode is a little different. It was supposed to be on habit 5, mental health but as I recorded it, I decided I needed to give some personal context and tell about a loss I suffered a long time ago. 

If discussions of suicide are triggering for you, feel free and skip this but if you want to learn more and how to help those in a similar position, Feel free and listen. We will get back to habit 5 in the next episode.
