In this deeply moving episode, we are joined by Sally
Raymond, a Marriage & Family Therapist and
Distinguished Toastmaster (DTM), whose life was forever changed
by the tragic loss of her 23-year-old son, Jon, to suicide.
Through unimaginable grief, Sally embarked on a powerful journey
of healing, rediscovery, and advocacy. Her book, “The Son I Knew
Too Late: A Guide to Help You Survive and Thrive,” offers a raw,
honest, and profoundly educational look into youth development,
trust, and the emotional intelligence we all need—but often lack.
Sally courageously shares how her personal tragedy became a
mission to help others survive, thrive, and understand the inner
world of young people. She draws from the wisdom of Erik Erikson
and her own clinical training to explore how emotional wounds
from childhood, unmet needs, and trust issues can silently grow
into life-threatening despair.
This conversation is a must-listen for parents, educators, and
anyone seeking a more compassionate and informed approach to
mental health, parenting, and personal growth.
Listen now to discover how trust, resilience, and emotional
intelligence can be life-saving tools.
