Depression

We are coming to you LIVE from a Fresh Grounded Faith event in Greenville, South Carolina, where I’m spilling the beans with two of my good friends, Shaun Groves and Tammy Trent.

We’re talking about knowing your calling, giving grace when someone disappoints you, and dealing with depression. Plus, Tammy speaks a good word of encouragement to the ladies who are single or single again.

Oh, and you’ll want to hear about how I climbed the Great Wall of China in the dead of winter on ice, as well as the story of my worst makeup mix-up ever!

This was funny, warm, practical, and everything you need to make this day even better! So, pull up your chair to the bistro and let’s spill the beans.

Tune in to this podcast to explore a method for embracing uncertainty and embarking on a daily decision-making journey that paves the way to happiness and success.

In this episode, I want to talk about depression. And not just from a psychological and scientific perspective but also from a personal perspective, sharing parts of my story. It's not something I've talked about much on the podcast but recently I've really come to terms with my own shame and stigma and I want to discuss where I'm at now, the journey I've been on and how its impacted the life I've created for myself in my 20s. We're also going to explore some of the key principles and theories behind the origins of depression, misconceptions, the different forms of depression, historical recognition of this condition, whether exercise really is a 'cure', and the new frontier of depression research, including the proposed use of psychedelics and ketamine.

Caution: please take care when listening to today's episode. We discuss difficult topics, including loving someone with addiction and the heart wrenching pain of losing a child.

In this emotionally compelling episode of "Beyond the Red Flags," we delve into the transformative journey of loving someone with addiction. Kristen is joined by her childhood best friend, Alexis Artusi, who shares her personal experiences of loving someone with addiction, and how she found the courage to let go while still holding onto compassion. Alexis shares her powerful story of walking away from a relationship that was not serving her to make space for the life she was always supposed to live.

Today's episode is a heartfelt exploration of resilience, growth, and the beauty that arises when we summon the strength to embrace new beginnings. Whether you've experienced addiction firsthand or know someone who has, this episode will touch your heart and illuminate the transformative power of letting go while still holding onto hope and love.

Although this podcast was aired last year, its message remains relevant and invaluable for the present moment.
