About this listen

 You’re showing up, getting it done, smiling when needed — but inside, you’re numb. This episode explores the quiet, unseen pain of functional depression: the version that keeps you looking “fine” while feeling anything but. If you’ve ever said, “I don’t even have time to fall apart,” this one’s for you. We talk about the pressure to perform, the guilt of not feeling grateful, and why survival isn’t enough — we deserve peace too.
