Hey smarticle particles 💡 — in this deeply personal episode, I’m opening up about a diagnosis I didn’t see coming: Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Recorded in April 2025 but shared now because… life has been lifing. Still, this conversation matters—especially before another winter sets in. 🌧️✨ After months of feeling foggy and fatigued, I finally realized my shift in energy wasn't just a fluke. A conversation with my therapist revealed something I had joked about for years… Seasonal Depression is real, and it’s something I’ve been living with quietly. The spring sunshine helped lift the fog—and with it came clarity, motivation, and the desire to speak on this journey.📖 In this episode, we talk honestly about:What Seasonal Affective Disorder feels likeWhy mental health struggles often go unnoticedHow weather impacts mood & energySimple grounding practices (breathwork, sunlight, hydration ☀️💧🌱)Faith when God feels silentWorship as healing (Song of the Day: “I Understand” by Smokie Norful)🙏 Whether you’re someone who quietly suffers in the colder months or you’re watching a loved one struggle, this episode brings both understanding and hope.
