Ep. 2 - When It All Feels So Heavy: Exploring the Weight of Depression

Jordan Season 1 Episode 2

Ever feel like you’re carrying more than you can handle? This week, we dive into that heaviness—the one that lingers, even on the “good” days. It’s not just sadness; it’s deeper, tougher to name, and, somehow, always there.

If you’ve ever found yourself lying awake, wondering why the joy feels out of reach, this episode might hit home.

We get into the science and spirit of depression. It’s more than just “chemical imbalance”—it’s about how the body, mind, and spirit are all tied up in this feeling. 

And here’s the big question: Could this struggle be a hidden call to reconnect with ourselves?

Finally, we’ll talk about those dark moments and thoughts most people avoid. You’re not broken if you’ve been there, and you’re definitely not alone. 

By the end, we’ll circle back to some themes, finding our moment of clarity, and I’ll share a letter to my younger self—a reminder that sometimes, letting things fall apart is part of healing.
