If you are having suicidal thoughts, please get help by calling the National Suicide Prevention Line at 1-800-273-8255.

This week’s guest on the show is Jami K. Jami is a suicide survivor and mental health advocate, using her chosen platforms of Twitter and Medium to promote love and kindness to those who are experiencing mental health trouble and suicidal thoughts. She is 51 years old and lives in Florida. She is a wife, mother and daughter to her family.

I met Jami via Twitter and once I learned and saw what she is doing, I knew I had to have her on this show. Jami was very nervous about agreeing to do a recorded conversation with me and it really put her outside her comfort zone. Ultimately, she decided to push through her discomfort for the opportunity to further promote her message and help more people.

In our conversation we take a pretty big swipe at the topics of mental health and suicide awareness. We both believe it’s our willingness to be vulnerable and talking about mental health, in our own lives, that is going to be the difference maker on this issue. We both firmly believe we need to remove the shame around having mental health distress, no matter how big or small the problem is for someone.

Some bullet points for our discussion are:

- Importance of being nice to others

- Suicide awareness

- How and what to do guidance when someone you know is talking about suicide

- Medication for mental illness

If you are someone you know is struggling with their mental health, you will want to listen to this episode. Please know there are resources to help you. You can connect with either Jami or me and we will not only give you love and kindness, but we’ll also help connect you with resources to get more help.
