Trigger Warnings: Suicidal ideation, depression.

Episode 39: To Be Continued…

We said we'd keep it real with you, so here it is.

In this episode of Traumatically Speaking, Sloan and Lex sit down with the Chaos Cousins to explain why we've been missing. The last couple of months have been hard on our mental health, and this episode is an honest conversation about depression, suicidal ideation, and what it's like to hit a wall you can't joke your way over. We're not wrapping it up neatly, because it isn't neat. We're just telling you the truth.

We're also telling you that we're going on hiatus until January 2027. We're taking the time to rest, get support, and come back better instead of half-showing up. We're hoping to be back in January and ready to keep this thing going.

We love you, Chaos Cousins. The care, patience, and love you've kept showing us through all of this means more than we can say. Thank you for sticking around.
