E05— Same Mel. New Chapter: The Things We Don’t Talk About
Content Warning: This episode contains discussions about suicide, suicidal thoughts, grief, bereavement, death, mental health, trauma, abuse and the impact of difficult life experiences.

In this episode of Oh Mel!, we’re having some of the conversations that aren’t always easy to have.
We’re talking about mental health, grief, death, suicide, abuse, trauma and the experiences that can affect us emotionally, mentally and spiritually. These are difficult subjects, but they are also subjects that need to be talked about honestly, responsibly and without shame.
I’ll be sharing reflections from my own life and experiences, but this isn’t about pretending that there is one simple answer to complicated situations. Mental health is complex. Grief is complex. Trauma is complex. And when we’re talking about suicide, there is rarely one single explanation for why someone reaches a point of suicidal crisis or dies by suicide.
We’ll also talk about what happens to us when we’ve experienced abuse, loss or trauma, and how those experiences can affect the way we think, feel, relate to other people and understand ourselves.
This episode is about having the conversation.
It’s about bringing things that are often kept in silence into the light, while remembering that behind every statistic, diagnosis, experience or difficult story is a real person.
If you have lived through some of these experiences, I hope you hear something that reminds you that you are not alone. And if you haven’t experienced them personally, perhaps this conversation will help you understand someone else a little better.
As always, Oh Mel! is about honest conversations, real experiences and brighter tomorrows.
