Ep. 357 The Power of Yet: Reclaiming Hope (repost)

Apr 29, 2025
21:37

After nearly a decade of feeling “stuck halfway out of depression’s pit,” Lori bravely took a step she never thought would help: she tried one more treatment option. In this powerful follow-up conversation, Lori shares the subtle yet transformative shifts that began to open her mind, soften her shame, and let in small but meaningful glimmers of hope.

Through heartfelt metaphors—like the difference between carrying life in a heavy backpack versus letting it flow through you like a screen door—Lori beautifully articulates the lived experience of persistent depression. Her journey reveals the impact of connection, the danger of contingent self-worth, and the power of believing you’re not broken—you’re just stuck.

Whether you're in a dark place yourself or walking alongside someone who is, Lori’s story offers a gentle reminder: even the smallest shift in direction can lead to an entirely new destination.
