Quarantine depression is REAL. It's almost been a year since lockdown & we are all feeling it in some type of way. For a while I was trying to escape how I felt & didn't want to admit I was depressed. Once I realized how fucking awful I was feeling & how lost I felt from my real self, I realized "Oh yeah girl, you are def depressed." Depression is a complex disease, but it's not forever. If you're feeling down & like you don't know who you are anymore... this episode will help you learn about depression & how to dig yourself out that dark gloomy pit you feel stuck in.

In this episode I share:

* Causes of depression & why it's more complex than just a "chemical imbalance"* Letting go of shame or judgement about your mental health* Symptoms of depression & how to tell if you're more than just sad* What inspired me to heal myself & get my mind back* Ways to heal depression* Why meditation is KEY to help you heal & the science behind it* Tips & tricks that brought me back to feeling like my true self* My FREE guided meditations via Insight Timer

This episode is very important to me & no matter what awful shit you're going through, I hope it reminds you that you have the power to heal yourself.
