TRIGGER WARNING - This episode discusses suicide. If you or someone you love needs support, please go to www.lifeline.org.au or for 24-hour free counselling in Australia, the number for Lifeline is 13 11 14.
1 in 4 people close to someone who has taken their own life will experience suicidal thoughts or attempts. Yet, most of us feel helpless when it comes to supporting our loved ones through deep grief.
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Rebecca Jax, who shares her raw and personal story of navigating trauma, grief, and spiritual transformation after losing her brother to suicide. Rebecca, now a somatic trauma specialist, helps others release pain and reconnect with themselves through energy work, breathwork, and body movement.
In this episode, we dive into Rebecca’s darkest moments, how spiritual connection saved her when medication failed, and why the words we use around suicide can profoundly impact healing.
If you've ever wondered how to support someone going through unimaginable pain, or if you're searching for your own healing, then this conversation is for you.
