Soul Sunshine
What does it mean to become who we truly are? Soul Sunshine is an intimate podcast hosted by Sylvia Mather - creative producer, interviewer and conscious storyteller - exploring becoming and the stories that shape us. Through honest, emotionally layered conversations, Sylvia sits down with founders, creatives, leaders and seekers who are building, evolving and navigating the complexities of being human. Together they explore the turning points, doubts, awakenings and inner shifts that shape who we become, both personally and in the world. This isn’t about surface success. It’s about evolution. Each episode dives into the human experience behind growth, impact and spiritual expansion and the courage it takes to live the story you’re here to embody. Because becoming is a lifelong unfolding.

#014_From Breakdown to Breakthrough - A Story about overcoming Depression and Anxiety with Marieke de Goeij
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I sat down with Marieke @marieke.loves.to.draw to talk about her journey through Depression and Anxiety.
We are talking about how life knocked her down when she was at her happiest and how she has found her way back from depression and anxiety into a life that she is grateful to live.
We are exploring the fact that living your purpose can sometimes come at a huge cost and how Marieke used her own experience to write the ‘Het Grote Depri Doe-Boek’ - currently in dutch, english version coming soon - to support those who are going through a difficult time.
Marieke is such a beautiful soul who opens up and shares very vulnerably her own experience of how difficult it can be to see the light at the end of the tunnel but that it’s always worth it.
I really hope that this conversation will inspire you to talk more openly about mental health issues that affect yourself or your loved ones. Only by breaking down the stigma will we be able to really tackle these issues in a more open an honest way.
The podcast is out on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. Please find the link in my bio.
