This episode is more for me than for you.

It’s a reminder to shed old skin, break mental blocks, and show up as the person you’re trying to become — even when you’re unemployed, stuck, anxious, or exhausted. Sometimes the biggest shifts in life aren’t external at all; they’re mental shifts. Who you listen to, what you consume, and how much you move your body can quietly change your entire reality.

In this episode, I talk honestly about maintaining mental health, not just “having” it — especially during long periods of uncertainty, joblessness, and isolation. I share the small, very unglamorous things I’m telling myself to do: walk more, move more, stay busy, chase endorphins, cook protein-rich meals, explore your own city, reach out to people you’ve forgotten, and keep your body in motion even when motivation is missing.

We talk about:

• Why movement is depression’s biggest enemy

• How walking, exercise, and routine impact mental health

• Staying mentally engaged during unemployment

• Using community, hobbies, dating, creativity, and podcasting to stay afloat

• The link between gut health, food, and mental well-being

• Consuming less, creating more, and protecting your mind from social media overload

• Finding joy in small rituals — window shopping, trying new hobbies, learning skills, volunteering

This episode isn’t about productivity or hustle. It’s about survival, softness, and momentum. About choosing movement over numbness, curiosity over despair, and engagement over isolation.

If there’s one takeaway from this episode, it’s simple:

Move your body.
Everything else follows.
