TW: SUICIDE

Do you consider yourself to be "the strong friend?" Are you someone that people turn to for emotional support and advice? Do people have a perception of you that isn't necessarily accurate based on the way your present to the outside world?

With the tragic global news of Cheslie Kryst dying by alleged suicide this week and so much advice circulating the internet about "checking on your strong friends." I wanted to dive into this topic because suicide is extremely close to my heart and so few people talk about it.

This is a kick in the butt style episode to inspire us ALL to examine and determine how to change at a macro level.

I reference an amazing Instagram post from Marline Francois which you can see on her profile here. 

I also reference a previous Charge My Core episode entitled "I Need to Ask for Help: But HOW?" 

This is inspired by my interpretation and opinion of how the public and the media deals with tragic suicides. I am sending all my love to those who love Cheslie Kryst and are impacted by her passing. May she rest in peace.
