hi friend!

today's episode does come with a trigger warning as we will be discussing substance abuse, so please do not press play if this conversation will be a trigger for you. 

today is the first wednesday in march & it also marks black balloon day.

black balloon day was created by a family - who lost their loved one to an accidental overdose - to honor those who have lost their lives to substance abuse.

this is - of course - a very delicate subject.  everyone has their own connection to substance abuse & so today we're taking time to honor those who have lost their lives to an addiction, as well as honor those who have - & continue to love - someone with an addiction.

in this space there is no right or wrong. there is no good or bad.  there is simply providing love & support to those who need it as they support themselves, a loved one - whomever, through a very difficult time. 

if you or someone you love is in need of support, please reach out to a therapist, an substance abuse treatment center, AA, NA, Al- anon, whatever it is that you need to best support you all during this time.

there is no shame here.  only love, support & acknowledgment.

if you need immediate assistance, please call 988 - the suicide prevention helpline.

i am here for you.  i see you.  i love you.  thank you for honoring black balloon day with me.
