Show Notes
Trigger Warning: Suicide, ideation, grief, loss
September ends — but lives don’t.
In this launch episode, Elaine “The Dark Pollyanna” Lindsay introduces 24‑7‑365 Keep Hope Alive, a campaign with its own rock song, designed to extend suicide awareness, care, remembrance, and community beyond a single month.
We unpack five pillars of sustained presence — Speak it. Check in. Share lifelines. Make space. Remember. — and offer practical monthly action items so listeners can show up, even when it feels small.
I also share my own reasoning, frustrations, and vision for how we transform awareness into movement. Because “not a moment, but a movement” is more than words — it’s a life‑or‑death framework.
What You’ll Hear:
💥 Why suicide prevention can’t be seasonal
💥 Concrete actions you can take now and every month
💥 How we’ll build a Wall of the Remembered
💥 The urgency of checking in and staying present

Bio
I’ve died three times — collision, suicidal ideation, and still I choose hope.
I’ve lost everything — child, pregnancies, family, closest friends, yet I’m still here. Six suicide losses before I was 30
Malpractice nearly destroyed me — three failed stomach surgeries, two deaths on the table, and my esophagus diverted out my neck after the surgeon slit my throat.
