I think that the mind is a really tricky enemy to have.

And I would say it's the devil. I think the devil gets in my head. Suicide rates are increasing. Stigma around mental health is increasing. I don't want to see more people die. I was in a place where I thought the decision was okay. And I thought that that was it for me. I think everyone needs to know how important mental health is and how important having a good mental framework

is because you're only as good as your worst thought about yourself. So everyone needs to

you have a framework that you could share with the weekies listening. What it is, Brad Lee,

back again with another episode of Drop and Bombs today in the studio, folks. I got a real treat for you, Andalina Grosse, better known as Storm. And that's your middle name, too. Yes, that is my middle name. That's just a cool middle name. Thank you. Are you have hippie parents? No, actually, my parents went to like a fortune teller when they were dating, and they said, don't get married, you'll create a storm. So then they just decided to make me the storm. That's legit. Mm-hmm. That's legit. Now, folks, if you guys don't know her, you will probably know her. She's running around. She's speaking on stages. She's getting the awareness out for ultimately suicide prevention. Yeah? Yes. Essentially. Yes. And you guys can follow her on

Instagram, andalina. Dot Storm and at Peace in the Storm podcast. You already have that out?

Yes. I do already that out. How's it going? Good. It's been fun so far. So Andalina.

Dot Storm, A-N-D-E-L-I-N-A dot storm, just like it sounds. She's got a book out there, sanity in the storm. I like how the storm is the through line for everything. Yes, born with perfect marketing. I was going to say, is that whole marketing ploy you're doing? Is there somebody coaching you on that?

No, not really.

You're just doing it yourself?

Yes, pretty much.

Okay, so let's get to the bottom line.

Bottom line is there's a lot of, not only just youthful people, but, you know, there's a lot

of people out there that contemplate suicide.

Yes.

Contemplate harming themselves to the point of no return.

And were you one of those?

Yes. I, I myself have gone through seasons where I didn't think life was really worth living

anymore. And that to me is something that is super disheartening because I know a lot of people

feel the way I did. And I want to make sure everyone knows that that's not the option for them, that they should stay here. Well, don't you think they already know that? I think that the mind is a really tricky enemy to have. Like if your mind isn't for you and it's against you, I think it's really hard to look at the positives and to think that you should stay here. I think it's really hard to look at the fact that people do love you, people do care about you, that things do get better because if your mind's constantly telling you lies, you're going to start believing them. Why do you think that's your mind? My mind? Like, if my thoughts are creeping in, I would say it's the devil. I think the devil gets in my head. It's not you. It's not your mind. No, it's not you.

I think the devil gets in my head. It's not you. It's not your mind. No, it's not you. I think the devil attacks people when they know, when the devil knows you're going into a season where you're going to be a threat to him. And for me, I've always been someone that I've believed in God. I've put like everything I've done into like thank you Jesus for

giving me this opportunity. And the closer I get to God or the closer I get to the calling God has for me,
