Let’s Talk Depression

In this episode, Hallie gets real about something she’s carried most of her life — depression. From therapy as a teenager to medication, masking with drinking and smoking, and the long road of figuring out what actually helps, this one is honest, raw, and necessary.

Hallie revisits Brianna Wiest’s 101 Essays That Will Change the Way You Think and the ideas around what you create each day and the small moments of connection we overlook. She talks about the “big three” her therapists always came back to (eat, sleep, exercise), why those matter but aren’t the whole picture, and why connection and creativity have been just as healing for her.
This episode is for anyone who knows what it feels like to push through while quietly falling apart.
In this episode:
— The “big three” her therapists always recommended — and what was missing
— What masking pain looked like for Hallie
— How creativity and community pulled her through
— EMDR and somatic movement — things she wishes she’d known sooner
— High functioning depression and the pressure to keep going
— Why small moments of connection matter more than we think
