What if the hardest truth you’ve ever learned became the catalyst for your life’s work?

Lisa Sugarman—author, storyteller with the National Alliance on Mental Illness, crisis counselor, cohost of The Survivors Podcast, and founder of The HelpHUB™—is a three-time survivor of suicide loss, including her own father. In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Lisa opens up about the moment she discovered the real cause of her father’s death decades later, how that revelation changed everything, and why she’s now on a mission to make conversations about suicide safe, open, and stigma-free.

Inside the Episode:

The shocking discovery that shifted Lisa’s entire path and purpose
How to support someone who’s suicidal without trying to “fix” them
Why directly asking “Are you thinking of harming yourself?” can save a life
The gaps in mental health resources—and how The HelpHUB™ is filling them for every community
Lisa’s personal self-care practices that allow her to do high-emotion advocacy work without burning out
The role of vulnerability in grief and healing
What to do when you suspect someone is struggling but they haven’t said anything
Why giving yourself grace may be the most important survival tool of all

Whether you’re walking through loss, supporting someone in crisis, or simply want to be part of changing how we talk about mental health, Lisa’s honesty and heart will leave you better equipped—and more hopeful.
