Ep. 10: Solomon Thomas' Mom: As Suicide Awareness Month comes to a close, Your Mom™ shifts gears this week. Lisa and Ashley speak with a mom who is championing the fight for Suicide Prevention. Martha Thomas, mother of NFL defensive lineman Solomon Thomas, lost her daughter Ella to suicide in 2018.

Learn about the family's non-profit 'The Defensive Line' which aims to reduce the stigma of talking about mental health and in turn reduce the number of suicides among young people, especially those of color (52:33). There is something for everyone in this powerful interview. You'll laugh as you hear stories about how Lisa and Martha's friendship began at Stanford (4:06 ), and you'll be inspired by the way Martha channeled her grief and pain into a higher purpose, as she works by Your Mom™
