What if the stories you've been telling yourself for years... simply aren't true?In this deeply moving and thought-provoking episode of the Different Hats Podcast, I sit down with RTT Hypnotherapist, Coach and Suicide Prevention Advocate Hema Patel for one of the most important conversations we've had on the show. Together, we explore childhood trauma, emotional literacy, self-worth, people-pleasing, perfectionism, visibility, purpose, and the powerful role our subconscious mind plays in shaping our lives. We also dive into the heartbreaking reality of suicide, the systemic issues contributing to the mental health crisis, and why Hema believes suicide prevention is everyone's business. Hema shares her own deeply personal story of experiencing suicidal thoughts, losing her cousin to suicide, growing up with racism and feelings of abandonment, and how those experiences ultimately shaped her life's mission.This is a conversation about healing.About hope.About finding possibility when life feels impossible.And about creating a world where people feel safe to be seen, heard, and understood.If you've ever struggled with self-doubt, felt stuck in old patterns, questioned your worth, or wondered if things can truly change, this episode is for you.⏱️ CHAPTERS00:00 – Powerful Suicide Prevention Messages02:22 – Introduction & Meet Hema Patel06:02 – You Alright Mate?
