What if you’re crushing your to-do list… but silently crumbling inside?

In this powerful and eye-opening episode of Embrace Your Value, Jen interviews co-host and trauma therapist Kristen Burrus to uncover the truth about high-functioning depression—what it looks like, how it’s often misunderstood, and what to do if you recognize yourself in the signs.

• Subtle signs that you're struggling even if you’re “getting things done”
  

• Common but harmful coping strategies used by high achievers (like doom scrolling or overworking)

• What support actually looks like—for both the person struggling and the loved ones trying to help
  

You’ll also hear real talk on: ✔️ How to know when it’s time to ask for help ✔️ How shame and silence keep us stuck ✔️ The power of simply starting a conversation

Whether you're supporting someone with depression or suspect you might be dealing with it yourself, this conversation is filled with empathy, education, and hope.
