Ep 154: How to start wanting your life, again

What happens when you wake up one day and realize you’ve stopped wanting your own life?

In this deeply vulnerable episode of Your Courageous Life, Kate shares her personal experience with high-functioning depression — what it looked like, how she hid it, and what helped her begin to reconnect with the will to live again. Through honesty, research-backed strategies, and lived experience, she explores the small but radical steps that start to rebuild aliveness: finding support, moving your body, interrupting depression routines, letting go of relationships that drain you, and challenging the narratives that keep you stuck.

If you’ve been going through the motions — functional but hollow — this conversation offers compassion and direction. It’s not about false positivity; it’s about the quiet, courageous work of reclaiming your spark and remembering that depression lies. There is another side, and it’s worth fighting for.
