You Can't Save Your Parents But You Can Save Yourself!

Have you ever felt like no matter what you do—meds, therapy, self-care—you’re still stuck in the same heavy fog? Like depression isn’t just a feeling but a place you keep getting pulled back into? You’re not alone.

In this episode, we’re diving deep into why depression feels so persistent, what’s actually happening in your brain, and why healing is so much more than just a chemical imbalance. We’ll talk about trauma, survival mode, and the guilt that weighs on so many of us—especially those who grew up feeling like they had to take care of their parents. But here’s the truth: you can’t save them. You can, however, save yourself.

I’ll share my own journey—how medication helped, but also how it didn’t. How I found a way to fight back against the numbness, even when it felt impossible. And if you’re a parent struggling to keep your head above water, we’ll talk about small, real steps you can take—because you deserve to heal, too.

This isn’t about fixing everything overnight. It’s about taking that first step. No matter how small.

You’re not broken. You’re not alone. And you are so much more than your pain.
