In this episode of Question It., with its **Trigger Warning**, we’re using Google’s Notebook LM to summarize and streamline a longer conversation I provided on a college student’s suicide note from 2018. We examine the devastating impact of early childhood environments and parental dynamics, which often shape the emotional foundations for disconnection and unmet needs. This conversation sheds light on the underlying issues contributing to such tragedies, offering valuable insights and an alternative perspective to deepen our understanding of emotional health. Join us for a compassionate and thought-provoking exploration of this critical topic.


Key Takeaway: The key takeaway from this episode is that nurturing emotional health through meaningful connections, supportive early childhood environments, and a belief in having purpose(s) (i.e. spiritual health) is essential to addressing the root cause of suicide and other destructive behaviors.


Peace. Love. Connect.
