You Are Not Alone In The Quiet Moments | Episode 564
Description
Life gets real when the gold stars stop. Once school ends and adulthood kicks in, a lot of us go from constant feedback to near silence and sometimes nonstop criticism. We sit with that shift and the questions it triggers: Why am I here? What am I supposed to do with my life? What do I want people to remember about me when time runs out?
I share my own truth about major depression, the terrifying closeness of dark thoughts, and why I keep choosing to come back and try again. We talk about how “simple” things like brushing your teeth or taking a shower can become huge victories, and why those small wins matter for mental health, self-care, and suicide prevention. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unpraised, or like you’re failing at life because nobody is handing you a sticker anymore, you’re not alone.
We also get practical about rebuilding purpose and staying grounded: turning off the phone for five minutes, sitting in quiet, and making sure your decisions come from your own heart instead of social media noise or other people’s expectations. I explain why I built Voices for Voices as a nonprofit mission focused on positivity, community, prayer or good vibes, and making space for every voice.
