Before we transition into the next season of Make Love To You, where you’ll start to see the podcast in video form, this final audio episode holds a special place.It’s a tribute.A pause.A conversation we don’t have enough.One year ago, I lost my best friend Karina to depression. Many of you saw me post about it recently on Instagram and Facebook, and the outpouring of love reminded me: we need more spaces to talk about the things that often stay hidden.This episode is a love letter—to Karina, to anyone who’s quietly struggling, and to those of us trying to love someone who is.In it, I reflect on the laughter and light Karina brought into this world, and how—despite all the joy you saw—she was deeply hurting in ways we didn’t fully see. I open up about my own experience with depression, how it can mask itself in smiles and success, and the years I lived with it silently.We walk through:

• How depression hides in plain sight
• What it looks and feels like in yourself and others
• How to reach for support—and how to offer it

This is a vulnerable, heartfelt conversation about mental health, grief, and the deep, sometimes invisible journey back to yourself.If you or someone you love is carrying more than they’re saying… please listen. This one’s for you.
