*Trigger warning - this episode speaks at length about my guest losing family members to suicide.  

It was such an honor to host @megkissinger, author of the new book entitled, “While You Were Out”.

Among other things, in our chat we discuss:

• What led her to write the book and share such an intimate account of her family’s story as it relates to mental illness
• Her sister Nancy and her brother Danny, whose lives were cut short
• How to talk to about suicide without normalizing it or vilifying it

“While You Were Out” can be found here:
