☀️ Consider Your Weekend Planned + Suicide Prevention Month
Published about 1 month ago • 2 min read
This Week's Welcome
Yes! We are back at the Black Swan Venue from 9am-1pm this Saturday! Last time, someone told me how they appreciated the assortment of vendors. Less duplicates and overlap. Well, this week is 80% made up of completely new vendors for the LKLD EDGE! We're so excited for you to come see them and hopefully do a little shopping! Many will be at the Downtown Farmers Curb Market, so please stop by and cool off in our cold A/C!
It's also Friday, so that means it's time for a "deeper" podcast episode. It just happened that I realized it's "Suicide Prevention Month." With that said, this podcast episode digs into my own story of coming through suicide ideation as an entrepreneur, small businesses owner, and mainly a human being. I’m either crazy or just crazy enough to share about my life and past. I share three tips that you probably won’t hear elsewhere. And sorry, when I get nervous or excited, I do say “hmmm” a lot. Nonetheless, not one to be missed! Let’s go! 🚀🔥
Lace up. Show up. Make an impact. 🏁 Join us for a race that changes lives.
