When life hands us problems, especially after suicide loss, sometimes we find ourselves in one of these two groups of people. Dwellers or solvers. In this episode we explore why we have a tendency to handle problem in these 2 categories. Dwellers focuses too much on the past which can cause us to get stuck. Solvers can make decisions too quickly without fully understanding the actual problem. We need to find middle ground between the two.

Discover the path to reclaiming control with eight actionable steps designed to tackle life's toughest problems head-on. With a focus on accountability, seeking guidance, and the transformative power of a supportive community, we delve into the heart of solution-focused strategies. I also underscore the indispensable role of self-care—adequate rest, proper nutrition, and physical activity—as foundational pillars to maintaining mental well-being. Whether you're facing relationship hurdles, financial strain, or the complexities of grief, these insights are crafted to help you foster a joyful and fulfilling life amidst all the chaos.
