Gentle Support for Darker Days—Because Healing Shouldn’t Feel Like a Chore

✍️ My Story: Depression Isn’t Laziness—It’s an Invisible War

There were days I couldn’t get out of bed. Not because I was tired, but because I felt like gravity had doubled its hold on my body. The world felt muted. My motivation disappeared. Even brushing my teeth felt like a monumental task. And yet, I smiled in public. I ran businesses. I showed up. I functioned.

That’s the thing about depression—most people never see it.

It doesn’t always look like crying. Sometimes it looks like zoning out, ghosting friends, being “too busy” to respond. Sometimes it looks like snapping at people you love because your brain feels like it’s on fire. Sometimes it’s numbness—an eerie quiet where joy used to live.

I tried everything. Exercise, therapy, affirmations, pretending I was fine. But nothing shifted until I started looking at depression as a whole-body experience, not just a chemical imbalance in my brain.

I realized I needed to support my nervous system, my hormones, my gut, and my neurotransmitters—not just “think more positively.”

That’s when I created Finding Joy—because I needed something that could gently help lift me out of the fog without pushing me too far, too fast. It wasn’t a magic cure, but it became a daily act of devotion to myself. I paired it with Liposomal Vitamin C to support my adrenal and immune function, and I focused on food testing to remove hidden inflammatory triggers that were quietly dragging my energy and mood.

I stopped asking, “What’s wrong with me?” and started asking, “What is my body trying to tell me?”

Depression taught me how to listen deeper. To slow down. To reach out. To create rituals that remind me of who I am even when I can’t feel it.

If you’re in the dark right now, please know this: you’re not weak. You’re not lazy. You’re not broken. You’re surviving.

And when you’re ready, I’m here to walk with you toward the light—one slow, kind, hopeful step at a time.
