Description

My guest this week is my friend and bright shining star, Traci Shannon — aka Star Traci.

In this conversation, we dive into the heart of Suicide Prevention Month and explore what it really means to show up for each other. From her show The Pebble, where she tosses positivity into the sea of negativity, to her candid take on toxic positivity, Traci brings warmth, wisdom, and the courage to tackle tough topics.

We talk about:

• Why suicide is about mental illness, not selfishness
• The surprising truth about ‘attention-seeking’ behavior
• Why toxic positivity often does more harm than good
• How a simple, genuine question like ‘How can I help you?’ can make all the difference
• The lasting impact of words — and why emotional scars often cut the deepest

This episode is a powerful reminder that even the smallest actions — like a phone call, or a kind word — can save lives.
