Say Something Kind: Suicide Prevention Conversations

In this powerful episode of the Compassionate Leaders Circle Podcast, host Laurel Donnellan sits down with Francesca Reicherter, founder of Inspiring My Generation, to explore what truly helps when someone is in suicidal pain and what compassionate leadership looks like when the stakes are life and death.

Francesca shares, with honesty and courage, what she needed from the people around her when she was attempting suicide: kindness, presence, and words for what she was experiencing. She reflects on what it’s like to suffer without the language to ask for help and how that absence can deepen isolation.

Today, Francesca is building the very support she once needed, creating tools, programs, and conversations that equip others to show up when it matters most.
