0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Teen Life Coach podcast. I'm your host Sammy and today we are going to be
0:13.1	talking about some suicide miss. Hey guys, how are you all doing today? I've actually been needing to do this podcast for a while now,
0:27.1	so I've been working on it and trying to come up with the right things to say. And hopefully I can
0:33.5	express my ideas to you on this topic that will help you all. So hopefully I'm able to say
0:39.2	things in a way that will help you, help someone you know or love. Because kind of research shows,
0:45.9	well actually research does show that teens would rather talk about sex than suicide. And I know
0:54.0	how you teens love talking about sex to adults,
0:57.0	right? So suicide is even worse than that. And it is not something that is really talked about
1:02.7	or understood very well. And it's always my understanding that the more I can educate people about
1:09.6	whatever subject it is, the more I can help you guys.
1:13.3	So hopefully this episode is helpful in the way that you can just listen to it and not have to
1:20.4	engage in any of the conversation over this topic. All right. So our listener shout out today is to Mads underscore 2. And she left a review for

1:38.3	weeks ago and I listened to one every night before bed. Sammy and McKell sure are relatable. This podcast has been an answer to my prayers.
1:47.7	Thank you for that review, Mads. The podcast is really great to listen to right before bed.
1:53.8	And especially if you are feeling anxious and you can't get your thoughts to quiet down,
1:58.7	it helps to have someone else provide you with some
2:01.3	different thoughts or things to think about before bed so sometimes if my brain won't shut off
2:07.5	i'll let my brain listen to something or someone else for a bit i get kind of tired of hearing
2:12.3	that own chatter in my brain sometimes it gets exhausting and it's just nice to listen to somebody else talk for a little bit.
2:19.8	If you guys can, please leave a review. It helps the podcast reach more teens or share an episode
2:25.8	with a friend that you think would be helpful for them. And if you want to connect with me directly,
