Depression: The End of One Game, The Start of Another

Feeling depressed? What if it’s not the end—but a signal?

In this episode, Blair Singer shares a powerful perspective inspired by his teacher Alan Walters: depression can signal that a game in your life is over. A relationship. A business phase. A financial chapter. A dream you’ve outgrown.

When a game ends, there’s often a void. That void can feel heavy. But history shows us that endings precede reinvention. Just as economic systems evolved after the Great Depression, individuals must sometimes create a new “game” when the old one no longer fits.

Blair explains why recognizing the end of a chapter is the first step toward designing your next leap. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening?” ask, “What’s the next game I’m meant to play?”

Depression isn’t always the finish line.
Sometimes it’s the starting signal.

Be awesome.
