Ep. 16 Outlander 1x16 "To Ransom a Man's Soul"

We tried our best to be our fun selves, but this gets heavy at points. A few rare moments of levity include a discussion of Halloween in the age of COVID, Brittany baits Stacy one final time before the season is over, and we get very Canadian for a moment, right near the end.

TRIGGER WARNING:

Throughout this episode there is mention of sexual assault.

We also have quite a lengthy conversation about suicide and suicidal ideation. If this is a difficult topic for you, you may want to skip it.   

This scene starts around 1:10:30

The discussion around suicide starts at 1:21:00 and ends at 1:40:00

We are not professionals or experts in these topics, just two friends having an open and honest conversation.

That being said we would like everyone to know you are not alone. If you are struggling, or someone you love is struggling, there are resources out there for you. We have included some resources down below:
