I went to a lovely event called the Super Women Awards. Pate and Donna Ray McCoy hosted the event and it was emceed by Dee and Willy Jolley who was also at my National Speakers Association meeting in the morning so I got a double-take of the famous, hall-of-fame speaker. I would show the group photo, but I don’t have one yet. I’m both honored and humbled by the award and the fellow women who were recipients were amazing.
I am an emotionally naked TEDx speaker, and author of the Book, Diary of a Broken Mind. I raised two boys, Richard and Charles, and lost my youngest son, Charles to substance use disorder and suicide June 5, 2015. I help people foster a culture of connection to prevent suicide, reduce substance misuse and find life after loss. My motivational, training and workshop topics include suicide prevention, addiction, mental illness, and grief.
As talented and funny as Charles was, letting other people know they matter was his greatest gift. And now the legacy I try and carry forward in my son's memory.
Professional Speaker Website. Trained in ASIST and trainer for the evidence-based 4-hour training for everyone called safeTALK.
