ep36 - Life after Loss, Grief, Empathy with Sam Lehmann, founder The Empathy Gift Co
Sep 12, 2019
In EP36 of the Spa it Girl Talkshow Podast I catch up with Sam Lehmann the founder of The Empathy Gift Co.
Sam shares what inspired her to start The Empathy Gift Co and what it actually is along with What is EMPATY.
As it is R U OK Day, in Australia we talk openly about a number of things from:
Grief
Loss
Anxiety
Depression
Mental Health Stigmas
Suicide Prevention
Suicide
Death
***** please note the content shared in this podcast is very descriptive and it may upset or trigger TRAMUA.
**** this content is not medical advice this content is only personal experiences shared.
If you are having any self harm thoughts please seek medical immediately at the Emergency Hospital or seek immediate help from a qualified medical practitioner.
This has probably been one of the toughest stories to re-share but I hope by opening up it also is a gentle reminder that when you look at my Instagram photo you can just assume how Lucky I am or How Good I’ve Got it.
I also hope it inspires families to no longer sweep it under the carpet if someone is suffering from depression because the more we can at least know the more we can support but without knowing we are unable to help in any way.
I know there is still so much SHAME around this topic but thanks to the R U OK Day it is helping to open up these very confronting and difficult topics, events.
In this talk I swear - I say it how it is - it’s not PC - no PR agency is vetting this, no brand is telling me what to say or not to say, I am not putting any public persona as I feel if we all continue to do this we are going to loose the art of story telling and story telling isn’t always about sharing the good times only it’s about having a voice and sharing the truth. I am now grateful to being a podcast host of the Spa it Girl Talk Show as it now allows me to express more real ideas then just a pretty feel good picture on Instagram which is great when you want to escape but podcasts for me allows more of a real life conversation not scripted not pc which I truly love.
there are so many things that come into play - you are not a failure you will always rise again if you ask for help and someone keeps you medically safe.
After you listen to this I would love for you to SUBSCRIBE to my podcast show plus to leave a 5* rating and review if you choose.
