How to Break the Silence Around Suicide and Support Yourself or Someone You Love — with Therapist and Founder of The Therapy Co., Elyce Mandich

This Suicide Awareness Month, I sat down with Elyce Mandich—licensed therapist, speaker, and founder of The Therapy Co.—for one of the most powerful conversations we've had on the Her Horizon Podcast.

Elyce lost her mom to suicide when she was young, an experience that has shaped not only her story but also her purpose and the way she shows up in the world with what she calls "Big Empathy Energy®." In this episode, she shares her journey of grief, the stigma around suicide, how she turned pain into purpose, and practical ways we can all support ourselves and those we love through mental health struggles.

This episode isn't just about loss—it's about hope, healing, and change. Whether you've been personally impacted by suicide, want to better support someone you care about, or simply need a reminder that your life matters, this conversation will leave you with encouragement, practical tools, and the truth that healing is possible.

You are not alone. Your story is not over. And there is so much more ahead for you than what you can see right now.
