Episode description

In this episode, I open up about experiencing depression during what should be a happy time in my life - my book launch, a new office space, and other positive developments. We explore the concept of "the disorientation of calm" - what happens when our nervous systems, accustomed to crisis mode, struggle to adapt to stability.

What You'll Hear:

- How the transition from crisis to calm can be unexpectedly challenging

- The contrast between personal stability and global/political uncertainty

- Warning signs that indicate more than just a passing mood

- Practical approaches for managing mental health challenges

- Why healing isn't linear and the importance of honoring both progress and struggles
