Have you ever struggled with depression or depressive episodes? With seasons of unexplained anger aimed at those around you? With feelings that are all over the map depending on the week or the day? Then this episode is my gift to you: You are not alone in navigating depression!
In the first of this two-part series, author/speaker Jessica Van Roekel and I candidly discuss our struggles with depression. We offer insight into how depression manifests in different ways and the importance of self-awareness when navigating depression and depressive episodes.
Topics we unpack in the episode on navigating depression:

• Our Personal Journeys with Depression
• Types of Depression - stints caused by physiological factors, circumstances outside of us, and the combination of both
• Anger as a Symptom of Depression - managing our choices in the moment
• The Role of Self-Awareness in Managing Depression
• Giving Grace to Ourselves in the Struggle
• Seeking Professional Help
• Practical Advice - strategies that calm, comfort, and control the symptoms
