Good evening, everybody. How are y'all doing? Week is winding down for most of us. I had someone

lovingly remind me that not everyone is off over the weekend. So nonetheless, here we are.

Got a great show plan for you, but I say that every night. You know why? Because I always do.

I truly do spend my weeks every day just collecting ideas and stories, noting things that

come up in sessions that I think would be meaningful to everyone. So know that, like, I do very

carefully curate all the things we talk about. Anyway, having said that, I don't know what

made me say that, but I thought, hey, I'll weigh in on that. We got a good show plan, though, as I said. We're going to talk about what to do if you can't afford

And then trigger warning later in the show, we're going to be talking about the cycle of abuse. How to know if that's someone, I'm sorry, how to know if that's something that you might be creating.

last night, and if you want to check out last night's episode, go to we are channelcue.com.

But last night, I started the show by saying, look, it's National Metalsh Awareness Month. And I kind of did part one and tonight is part two of talking

about suicide prevention. And so content warning for that as well. We're going to be talking about

suicidality for the rest of this segment. And last night, I really wanted to drive home the idea that

when we talk about suicidality and self-care, we often make it a private individual thing. Like, you need to do

self-care, go home and do it. Anything you're struggling with mental health wise is on your shoulders

and handle it. And I said, well, it's not fair or true. We need to think also in terms of community

care, which means, hey, I might be part of the problem. even though I might not be the one struggling.

I might be part of my neighbor's problem or a loved one's problem because I might be someone
