Navigating sudden loss, to becoming a mental health first aid officer, with Sandra Rodriguez

In this week's episode I talk with my friend Sandra, who I met through my Sydney support network 'our grief'. Sandra received a call to say she'd suddenly lost her mum to suicide and had the exhausting task of returning back to the US to be with her family. We talk about how she brilliantly navigated the return to work, how opening up to peers and a therapist helped her to process the grief and how she is now training to be a mental heath first aid officer. A big thank you to Sandra for coming on to the podcast. She was my first ever guest and we were both very nervous, so please excuse the quality of my interviewing skills etc!
