The holidays are often painted as a time of joy and celebration, but for many, they can bring waves of silent despair. In this episode, we delve into the unspoken struggles of dealing with depression around the holidays, especially when grief and loss cast long shadows.

We also unpack the mental toll of social media and how the curated perfection we see online can amplify feelings of inadequacy and loneliness. Together, we'll explore ways to break free from the mental cages we find ourselves in and create space for healing, authenticity, and self-compassion during the hardest times. Because the truth is, you're never as alone as you feel.
