Sally Spencer-Thomas is a psychotherapist who found herself in a moment in which she was not prepared when her brother committed suicide. After that significant event in her life, Sally poured much of her life into building awareness and leading innovation in suicide prevention through the Carson J. Spencer Foundation. Driven by the memory of her brother, Sally dove into her work, and along the way she found a community and purpose around her brother’s legacy. Over the last 14 years, Sally encountered her own onerous moments of depression. From these moments, she came to understand the power of community and the importance of a caring person. On her journey, Sally has become more attuned to asking, “What is this moment teaching me? What can I do to learn here?” a testament to her resilience. Now, she’s facing big life transitions in both her work and her role as a parent, and she finds herself listening for what her inner voice is saying as she’s wondering, “Who am I, now, in this season of my life?” Links The Carson J.
