My 1 Year Anniversary 💖

To those who have been patiently waiting for new episodes, Thank You.

I couldn't find a better way to bring in a new episode than this!

I hope that whoever NEEDS to hear something like this does, and for my listeners, that you spread awareness by sharing this episode and having these kind of conversations with your friends and loved ones. Because if we don't talk about it, it will remain a stigma.

The discussion of what life looks like after a failed suicide attempt is one I don't hear talked about enough. As someone who had a failed attempt just a few months ago, and many others before that, I'm familiar with the process all too well. In todays episode, I hope me sharing my story and journey will give those who have a loved one with a past of suicide attempts a better understanding, and for those who are in the process of putting their life back together, a sense of hope with the fact that you're not alone. Here is a template for a Safety Plan that I created, free to use, so you can get started on making your own. https://www.canva.com/design/DAFZ2y7HNko/fkrJBxAf8Op0EQ7aRhsuhg/view?utm_content=DAFZ2y7HNko&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=preview Where you can follow and keep up with the Podcast: https://linktr.ee/KintsugiTalksPod

With no memory of his childhood till the age of twelve, John Jarman had no conscious way to overcome the unknown pain in his past. When his adult life crumbled around him, he finally reached out for professional help, both emotionally and spiritually. Over the next ten years, this inner work lead John to places he—and his counselor—would never have expected.

As John moved closer to God in the process, the storm hit harder than ever, taking him to his knees.

Discover how John got up and, by the grace of God, walked through the storm of his life and strengthened his faith through completely surrendering to his Heavenly Father. As John learned and shares in this book, trusting God and becoming vulnerable are the only way to true freedom.

In his book Broken and Redeemed, John shares a story of beautiful, authentic brokenness that rests in the redemption only found in God.
