Purpose by Design is honored to introduce to you Deidre Calcoate, a dear friend of mine who lives quite a fulfilling life: serving others. Deidra has been dealt a lot in life that could have caused her to be bitter but she has allowed those lemons to be made into lemonade.She is a transformational life coach, International Best Selling Author, trainer, and suicide interventionalist. Plus, she has an infectious laugh.
Deidre takes us on a journey surroinding her adoption story and how that molded her into who she is today. Amazing!
Today is a serious topic: suicide prevention. It’s truly a helpful, knowledgeable interview that everyone needs to hear so they can be aware of what to do if they ever are in this predicament. She shares how someone close to her tried taking their life many times and that is what got her into being an interventionist.
Deidre goes into detail on how to navigate a situation when someone is “up on a ledge” and how to talk them down, as well as how to navigate someone perhaps thinking about it. She gives huge gold nuggets on this very critical topic and we need to spread the word. She spreads awareness around if someone is starting to give away things that are important to them, maybe making arrangements for their pets - please ask them questions, and watch them because that is a tell-tale sign. She gives insight about saying someone committed suicide as comitted implies criminal activity. Think about that for a minute. This is just touching the surface - you’ll need to listen to hear all of the incremental details.
This is a powerful episode. Please make sure you carve out time it .
