What do you do when depression and burnout disconnect you from the very things that once made you feel alive? In this episode, I explore why progress alone isn’t enough—we need rest, play, and purpose to reconnect with ourselves and remember what makes life worth living.
Key Takeaways:
Depression often shows up as anhedonia—the inability to feel pleasure from things you still care about.
Like my dog Mila, we can keep “walking” through life but still need play to avoid becoming restless and emotionally depleted.
Action often comes before motivation; reconnecting starts with small acts of contact.
A sustainable life requires a balance of rest, play, and purpose.
Hope can sound as simple as: “I want to be here long enough to find out.”
