In this episode, we’re talking about the depression no one sees—the kind that hides behind productivity, humor, perfectionism, and “I’m fine.” High-functioning depression is tricky because it doesn’t always look like sadness. It looks like holding it together, showing up for everyone, hitting deadlines, being the “strong one”… while feeling exhausted, numb, or disconnected on the inside.

We’re unpacking the signs that often get overlooked, why so many people suffer in silence, how it shows up in your relationships, and the emotional toll of constantly performing “okay.” We’ll also talk about what support actually looks like, how to slow down when your default is to push through, and ways to start healing instead of just functioning.

If you’ve ever been the strong friend, the overachiever, or the one who keeps going no matter what—this episode is for you. You don’t have to carry it alone.
