Trigger warnings: suicidal ideation, suicide attempt, self harm, depression, and mental health crisis.

In Episode 35 of Traumatically Speaking, Sloan and Lex are joined by their friend Aly Falshaw, aka Mini Body Builder, for an honest conversation about her experience with suicidal ideation and a suicide attempt that she survived.

Aly shares her story openly and talks about what it was like to reach that point, what happened afterward, and what it means to still be here. This is a conversation about survival, vulnerability, and finding reasons to keep going when staying feels impossible.

If you or someone you know is experiencing a mental health crisis or having thoughts of suicide, call or text 988 anywhere in the United States. You can also chat with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline online. If there is immediate danger, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
