In this deeply personal episode of the Ken & Kim Podcast, we share the story of Kim’s decades-long battle with severe depression and the long journey toward finally finding a way forward.

For years, depression controlled every part of life. From hospitalizations and countless medications to electroconvulsive therapy (ECT), TMS treatments, and ketamine therapy, nothing seemed to provide lasting relief. At times, life felt completely hopeless.

But everything changed after a powerful realization during a personal development event that challenged the way we understood thoughts, emotions, and the patterns happening inside the brain.

In this conversation, we talk openly about:

• what living with treatment-resistant depression actually felt like

• the years of medications, side effects, and medical treatments

• why depression can start to feel like a mental and emotional addiction

• the moment Kim realized her thoughts were fueling the cycle

• how meditation, healing work, and mindset shifts helped begin rewiring those patterns

• why healing emotional wounds and past experiences became a critical part of recovery

• the difficult inner work that most people avoid, but that can change everything

We’re not doctors, and this episode isn’t medical advice. It’s simply a real, honest conversation about lived experience, healing, and the possibility of change.

If you’re struggling, feeling stuck, or wondering if things can ever get better, we hope this episode reminds you that there is always hope — and that sometimes the breakthrough begins with a single shift in awareness.
