I’ve been sitting with this phrase a lot lately: suppression equals depression. And the more I think about it… the more it just makes sense.

Not just in a mental health way, but in the quiet ways we abandon ourselves. This episode isn’t about fixing anything. It’s just about being honest with yourself. About noticing where you’re pressing yourself down and what might open up if you stopped. We’re talking people pleasing, nervous system shutdowns, that stuck feeling that sneaks in when we say yes too many times instead of no. And the little moments that could be your release valve: a walk, a cry, a dance alone in your room.

If you’ve felt off lately but can’t explain why, I hope this episode helps you come back to you.
