Eric White - Depression, Shame and Perseverance to Overcome

In this episode Jay sits down with Eric White. Eric is the host of another mental health podcast, titled “TheEWpodcast,” and the two met when Jay had the incredible experience of being a guest on Eric's show. Eric started his podcast after years of battling with severe depression, and after finding a therapist and other resources that benefitted him mentally, he decided to continue his quest for knowledge and share with the world. Eric and Jay explore the narrative Eric held onto that seemingly kept him locked in depression, and he reveals an aspect of this story that fueled a majority of his self-loathing and shame; something he explained he had only told a handful of people up to this point. Ultimately, though, through seeking professional help, finding the support of an accepting partner, and a chance psychedelic experience at a music festival, Eric can now say he is on the upside of his mental health journey… and continuing to seek growth daily. Eric is the definition of perseverance, he’s an all-around genuine and thoughtful human, and his story is an inspiration to push through whatever challenges life delivers.
