Hi, Namasté, how are you feeling today? Welcome to the podcast DEPRESSED 2 SUCCESS where we provide knowledge, tools, insights and experiences to help people get out of a depression faster. But above all, this is a place of HOPE!! Because if you ever had to go through a depression, or maybe if you are still in it, you know what a dark place it can be. And if you are not careful, you can start to loose hope. I know, because, I also have been there. I’ve been in the dark so long, that I started to believe that the dark was all there is. And at times I couldn’t even see the light and I started believing that there was no way out of it. And yet here I am: OUT OF IT! No longer depressed and that is my story of success. I will tell you more about my journey in a later podcast.
Imperfectly Perfect
First of all I noticed myself that, one of my triggers at least, is that we live in a world that looks perfectly perfect. Thanks to social media. Everything is edited and filtered and in summary this is what triggered the perfectionist in me, who constantly was lying to me that I was not good enough until I was perfect. So I procrastinated and keep delaying making this podcast. But now that lie is out the door, I want this podcast to be flawed. I want it to be raw, unpolished and most importantly as real as it gets. So prepare to hear some mispronunciations ( because I am not an English native speaker, but Dutch). You probably also here some background noises and other flaws, because the world and we all are imperfectly perfect beings. And we should be grateful for that.
I also want to start Breaking the Stigma by openly talking about depression.
Secondly I would love to interview people who successfully got through a depression and get as many people as possible involved in this project, because I believe that we can make a difference when we work together. Especially with things as hard to deal with as a depression and other mental health disorders, we often feel ashamed we have it, with the result that we do not talk about it, making us think that we are the only ones going through these feelings. While the truth is that almost everybody is dealing with something. And my hopes are that by talking about it and sharing our experiences, we learn to show our true selves and also to see and accept each other. But more importantly is that we accept ourselves first.
Everything that helps
Lastly this is also a place where I share tools, techniques, holistic knowledge about how you can get a grip of your depression and break it down into pieces so you are going to get out of it AND you are going to learn from it and become the happiest strongest version of your own self!!
So obviously this might not be perfect, but rest assured, I am learning as a go and eventually we all grow. We just have to start with the first step, keep going and remember to enjoy the process.
So in short
The mission of DEPRESSED 2 SUCCESS is, as the name implies, to get everybody from DEPRESSED TO SUCCESS. In this podcast I take you with me on a journey and together we are going to meet amazing and unique people like yourself, who share their stories of how they got depressed and more importantly how they got out of their depression. We talk openly on the podcast and we share our personal experiences with the intention to bring hope to the souls who need it most.
If you have a story to share, or better said, WHEN you have a story to share, please contact me via my Instagram @ Tao Life Coach or send me an e-mail to [email protected] and let’s get in touch and share experiences and bring hope to whoever needs it.
Until the next one.
Stay strong!! Stay imperfectly perfect!! Love yourself!! You deserve it!!
