When the Darkness Lingers — Finding Hope in the Hardest Moments

This episode dives into one of the hardest, most important conversations we can have—about the experience of suicidal thoughts, ideation, and attempts. Jamie opens up about her personal journey with bipolar disorder, survival, and the moments that nearly took her under—but didn’t.

With compassion and honesty, this episode explores what it feels like to wake up in the depths of mental illness, how to create a personal safety plan, how to hold space for others in crisis, and how to turn survival into transformation. Whether you’re struggling, supporting someone who is, or seeking to understand—this episode offers validation, hope, and light.
