About this listen

What if depression doesn’t always look like tears and tissues? What if it shows up in silent mornings, the dishes still in the sink, the smile you paste on before work, the way you tell everybody “I’m fine” when odds are you’re fading around the edges?

In this very first full-length episode of Human Beans Radio, I’m opening the window on depression: how your body carries it before the mind names it, how old stories of survival and silence shape it, and how naming the heaviness is the first crack in its hold.
We’ll walk together through what depression looks like when you live it, how trauma and culture complicate it, and explore tools—not for instant miracles, but for steady tending of the heart and nervous system.

🪴 Episode Highlights:

  • The shape of depression: heaviness, loss of joy, cognitive fog

  • Why blaming yourself actually deepens the pain

  • How trauma and history turn silence into suffocation

  • Ways out: connection, movement, professional help, small joys

  • A recovery lens: healing as practice, not perfection
