Before You Kill Yourself: a suicide prevention podcast. Floating, Not Fleeing: When the Ocean Calls You to Stay
In this deeply personal solo episode, I reflect on a moment at sea that stirred something primal—a desire to leap, not to die, but to feel fully alive. We explore:
- The difference between wanting escape and needing depth
- How “leaping” can be a cry for rest, touch, or meaning
- What it means to unplug, fast, and float
- A practice for staying grounded when you feel unspooled
- Why intensity sometimes masquerades as danger—but is really a call to be held
