You’re crushing it: checking boxes, hitting milestones, maybe even growing a team or scaling your business. But if you’re being honest… you don’t really feel it. The joy you expected to come with all of this success? It’s nowhere to be found.
If that sounds familiar, then today’s episode is going to feel like a mirror… an empowering one. I’m sitting down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a Columbia-trained psychiatrist, NYU professor, researcher, and social media mental health advocate, and author of the groundbreaking new book High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy.
Dr. Judith has worked with high performers from the boardroom to the operating room, and she’s here to unpack a surprisingly common experience: looking like you have it all together, while quietly running on empty.
She’s the one who coined the term high-functioning depression and even conducted the first EVER clinical study on it! If you’re building a business, leading a team, and trying to keep it all together while feeling a little “meh” on the inside, this episode is for you. We’re diving into why your emotional flatness might be more than a passing mood, how to spot the signs of high-functioning depression in yourself or your peers, and most importantly, what to do about it.
