In the latest episode of the Musicians For Mental Health podcast, I had the profound privilege of speaking with Courtney and Sawyer from Definitely Maybe. Our conversation focused on mental health, with a particular emphasis on Courtney's deeply personal story about her sister Jessica's tragic suicide. Courtney bravely shared the struggles her sister faced, including alcoholism and religious trauma, and the heart-wrenching journey of coping with such a loss. As someone who has experienced similar pain, I also opened up about losing my brother to suicide, discussing the feelings of shame, guilt, and blame that often accompany such tragedies.

Sawyer contributed to our discussion by reflecting on how these experiences have affected their family dynamic and their relationship. This episode is both powerful and raw, offering an intimate look into the emotional toll of grief and the importance of supporting one another through dark times. Please be mindful that this episode deals with sensitive topics and may be triggering for some listeners. Courtney also talks about how the song "One More Night," written in memory of her sister, serves as a tribute to Jessica and how she shares her story before performing it at shows.

Tune in for an emotional and enlightening conversation that highlights the significance of mental health and mutual support.
