Inspired by my own journey with mental health, I founded Girls Talk, our own safe space where we share, listen and support each other.

So get cozy and join me. Adjua Burr for some much-needed Girls Talk.

This episode of the Girls Talk podcast discusses sensitive topics surrounding suicide

and the experience of losing a loved one to suicide.

While we aim to provide a supportive space for those conversations,

we recognise that they may be distressing for some listeners.

It's important to remember that help is available.

In the United States, you can reach out to the

National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 988. For support in the UK, you can contact the National

Suicide Prevention Helpline at 0800-689-5652. If you or someone you know is struggling, please don't hesitate to reach out to a friend,

family member, loved one, coach, counsellor or seek professional help.

Remember, you are not alone.
