Depression isn’t the most favorable topic but unfortunately during this time is extremely prevalent and real. We sat down back in December of 2019 and talked about a long period of navigating depression that both co host experienced during the same time. In this clip we talk about how it showed up for the both us. One was an outer body experience and the other was complete absorption.

Depression looks different for everyone, especially when you’re a high functioning person. We hope this video helps someone identify what may be masking itself, but rooted in depression. Check out the full video linked below:
