Episode 25: Dr. Michelle Chestovich opens up about sister's suicide

In January, Dr. Michelle Chestovich launched her podcast Re-Mind Yourself, through which she offers tips and insights on mental health topics from burnout to perfectionism. On Feb. 3, she addressed the topic of allowing ourselves to feel ALL of our emotions.

Never could she have imagined how important that would be when her kid sister, Gretchen, committed suicide in early March.

The unthinkable tragedy led Michelle to set forth on a grief journey, and she's bringing her listeners, her social media followers, and anyone who will listen with her as she speaks openly about the pain she's processing. She's creating a safe space to talk about grief, loss, and the resulting trauma, while turning up the volume on suicide prevention awareness.
