Before we dive in, a few important notes: This podcast covers sensitive topics including depression, anxiety, suicide ideation, and other mental health challenges. Listener discretion is strongly advised, and if you're in crisis or need immediate support, please reach out to a mental health professional or contact a local emergency service.

Also, I'm not a doctor, therapist, or licensed mental health professional. Everything shared here is based on my personal experiences, reflections, and the stories of guests who generously share their journeys. This is not medical advice—it's a conversation.
