ABOUT THIS EPISODE
For ten years I lived with chronic depression.
This isn't a conversation about quick fixes, motivational quotes or pretending everything will be okay. It's the most honest account I've ever shared about what those ten years were really like.
In this deeply personal episode, I talk about the sleepless nights, the panic, the feeling of being trapped inside my own mind, the moment I looked in the mirror and barely recognised myself, and the decision that ultimately changed everything.

I also explain how I slowly rebuilt my life—not overnight, but one small step at a time—and why, six years after recovering, I still work on my mental health every single day.
Along the way I share something I've rarely spoken about publicly: the strange and overwhelming sense that, during my darkest moments, the desert I found myself in wasn't empty.
At the time I couldn't explain it. Looking back today, I see that part of my journey very differently. Whether you've struggled with depression yourself, love someone who has, or simply want to understand what it's really feels like from the inside, I hope this episode reminds you that you're never as alone as you think you are.

Sometimes hope begins with a single conversation.
