**TRIGGER WARNING**
This episode discusses the importance of shattering the silence that often surrounds suicide and encourages people to seek help.
Recommendations if you or someone you know is dealing with thoughts of suicide - call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-8255 but sometimes callers can be on hold for hours. The immediate thing they need to do is to talk to someone, anyone - a trusted family member, friend, teacher, counselor, youth pastor, or small group leader.
I talk with Brandi Elizabeth about her experiences being in the public eye while navigating a misunderstood and difficult mental health journey. Brandi talks about the impact of living in the pause and how that has allowed her to live life more freely. Owning her truth and her story has allowed her to impact and help others.
Brandi Elizabeth is a singer/songwriter & social media influencer.
She's 24 years old & newly married. Her husband is a cinematographer & together they own a company called “The Williams Creative”. Their goal in life is to inspire people to stand in their truths and do what they love!!! She's gone through quite a bit her 24 years of life & spent a long time being ashamed. But because of the love of Jesus & her family, She's been able to overcome so much. Now she's made it her life goal to be an advocate for living an honest lifestyle and defeating any type of shame-filled mentality.
She's been public about her overwhelming battle with suicide and sexual abuse and sharing this piece of her story for all the world to see. She wants to share her story to let others know they aren't alone and while everything may look one way from the outside there is no shame in going beyond the surface.
