Ep 22 - Annette Alatorre

The Homegrown Podcast

This episode is heavier than a Led Zeppelin... I may have wanted to start it out light, cause we get deep with Annette Alatorre about her personal experiences with suicide and mental health as well as the overall stigma surrounding the topic. From calling the police to help her sister whom she watched down an entire bottle of sleeping pills, to checking herself in to the hospital for her own well being as recent as 2020 during Covid. Her encounters with great people whom she's lost as friends to their own suicides and how she's coped with those as best as she can. The brain and mental health is a funny human organ and we feel it doesn't get the attention it deserves here at Homegrown Podcast, so we urge you to listen to this in depth discussion from two people who are pursuing getting into the mental health field based on their own personal, what some might say traumatic, experiences. This episode will make your entire body feel heavy, but in a relatable, taking vitamins type of way. Get some fo that Homegrown in ya!
