A radically honest conversation with Shasha Crow about her mental health journey from growing up trying to fulfil the expectations of her family and the wider community, and feeling that her true nature went against her conditioning. This podcast episode is truthful and vulnerable as Shasha and I discuss some very personal experiences and emotions.
After having her son she experienced post natal depression and feels this put her on a slippery slope. She started becoming more isolated, unhappy, blaming herself and this led towards feeling suicidal. When her son was one she had her first suicide attempt. She acknowledges the rage she felt and how it shocked her, and the intensity of the emotions that arose at the time. When Shasha shares her story it brought out a tear (or two) for us both, empaths be warned!
Shasha now sees the challenging chapters in her life, and indeed in all of our lives, as an opportunity for growth and transformation. She describes it as: “An initiation into the next phase of our journey.”
Shasha shares how the phrase: “Stop being a drama queen” supported her and I got radically honest about my suicidal thoughts and how going second by second supported me. We discussed how all individuals need to be approached differently, and who is saying what is important when supporting someone who is feeling suicidal.
