This week gets personal. Garrett opens up about being in the middle of a depressive swing, living with bipolar disorder with rapid cycling, and the reality that sometimes there’s no quick way out—only the tools and patience to get through it.

We talk about the “why” behind mental shifts, how brain chemistry can take you for a ride, and the importance of giving yourself credit for simply showing up—especially as a parent making sacrifices for your kids.

We also explore finding joy again, reclaiming the things that make you happy, and refusing to let others pay for you to abandon your dreams.

If you’re in a tough spot, this one’s a reminder: you’re not alone, and you’re allowed to take the slow way through.
