September is Suicide Prevention Month, and this is the most personal episode I’ve ever recorded.

“Stay for Tomorrow” is a raw, heartfelt letter to anyone who has ever felt like leaving. In it, I share my own story of surviving ten suicide attempts, the moment my 2½-year-old niece became my “little red lifesaver,” and the reasons I’m still here today.

We’ll talk honestly about what’s left behind after a suicide — the unmade beds, the unread texts, the sweaters still hanging on the chair — and why your absence would ripple far wider than you realize. We’ll also ground this conversation in reality: suicide claims about 4,500 lives a year in Canada, is the second leading cause of death for Canadians aged 15–34, and Alberta’s rate sits well above the national average.

But this episode isn’t just about loss — it’s about hope. Suicide is preventable. There are reasons to stay, even if you can’t see them yet. You are needed. You are loved. Your story isn’t over.

If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988 in Canada and the U.S. for immediate help. You are not alone.
