  • Summary

  • Suicide rates have soared by 50% since COVID-19, with 700,000 people taking their own lives each year. It's a topic shrouded in shame and stigma - but positive psychologist Niyc Pidgeon is on a mission to change that with her new book, One More Day. After losing three close friends, Niyc felt like a failure. As a positive psychologist, she thought she should have been able to save them. But diving deeper into the research, she discovered something beautiful - there ARE things we can do. Suicide is preventable. In this episode, Niyc shares the "tiny tools" proven to help us through our darkest days. From shamanic shaking to gratitude texts and the 4-7-8 breath, these gateway practices can shift our physiology and emotional state. The book isn't a crisis intervention manual or a replacement for therapy. It's a menu of research-backed practices to build our resilience, one day at a time. So even when life gets hard again (and it will), we have an inner toolkit to navigate it. If you or someone you love has ever struggled with suicidal thoughts, this episode is for you. Let's open up the conversation and take a stand for ourselves and each other. Hope is possible. “I want suicide to be the equivalent of smoking on planes—a world where it no longer exists. ” ~ Niyc Pidgeon In This Episode: - Why Niyc wrote One More Day - The book's "tiny tools" - simple practices to get through hard days - The importance of connection in preventing suicide - Social media's impact on mental health, especially for young girls - Modeling resilience and talking to kids about mental health - Warning signs to look out for: can we end suicide in the world? - Breathing techniques for anxiety relief - Movement as a "gateway" to shift your emotional state - Shamanic shaking: releasing tension through movement - Gratitude texts to uplift you and strengthen relationships - Niyc's lifelong vow she made - Self-help tools vs. getting professional help for mental illness - Step-by-step actions to take if you or a loved one is suffering About Niyc: Niyc Pidgeon is a positive psychologist and global speaker dedicated to helping people move from fear and doubt to hope and joy.
