176. I'm Back! Part Three-My Husband's Attempt and Immediate Shifts
The moment my world froze: July 14th, 2025, as I was sitting in a parking lot with my daughter, while our lives unraveled.
This episode is the hardest one yet — raw details of the day my husband attempted suicide, the whirlwind that followed, and the impossible choices I had to make in the chaos.
I'll be sharing a lot of intimate details publicly despite the inevitable pushback... because vulnerability and community are exactly what kept me from crumbling during the hardest moments.
Content note: This episode discusses a suicide attempt, mental health crisis, and related trauma. If you're in crisis, please call or text 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline) or chat at 988lifeline.org.
You are NOT alone.
