048 | Us & Kids: Goals, Depression and Real Life

Intro 

On today’s show, we are talking about depression and how that affects our lives. Depression can make us feel really dead. Not like dead as in not alive, but dead alive but not able to engage in life. So our lungs can breathe and our heart can beat. But our brain can hardly think and our body can hardly move.

It's just not a fun place to be. No one wakes up in the morning thinking today I'll be depressed. It is heavy, and about it as impossible to stop as a car running over you. In today’s podcast we will talk about how to build habits (muscles) and how to set do-able goals that will help to disarm this powerful emotion.
