Depression is a common and often debilitating mental health condition that can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, or background. It can cause a range of symptoms, including persistent sadness, low energy, difficulty concentrating, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, and a loss of interest in once enjoyable activities.

Sound familiar?

In today's episode, we’ll talk with Dannie De Novo. She is a mental health advocate and survivor of depression, and she will share their journey of overcoming depression and the tools and strategies she uses to find happiness and build a fulfilling life…so you can do the same

In this episode, we discuss:

• Seeking help and support is crucial for managing depression and finding happiness. This could mean talking to a trusted friend or family member, seeking support from a mental health professional, or joining a support group.
• Practicing self-care is essential for managing depression. This includes getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and finding ways to relax and de-stress.
• Focusing on small, positive things can bring joy and happiness into your life, even when you're feeling down.
• Setting goals and working towards them can give you a sense of purpose and meaning, which can help boost your mood.
• If your depression is severe or persistent, it may be necessary to seek professional treatment. This could include therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Remember, overcoming depression is not easy, and it may take time and effort. But with the right support and strategies, it is possible to find happiness and build a fulfilling life. Don't be afraid to reach out for help – it's a sign of strength, not weakness.

Do you have goals you want to accomplish that you have been putting off? Sometimes, you need to just get started. How do you do that? Well, we decided to ask Just Get Started podcast host, Brian Ondrako.

Today, we speak to Brian about how he helps inspire people on the cusp of getting started on their path toward happiness. According to Brian, happiness is the result of making consistent decisions that align with your vision for your life, not attaining any specific goal.

Unless you have a clear idea of which way to go, seeking happiness is almost irrelevant, which is why Brian recommends finding your North Star and taking incremental steps toward it. He also highlights the value of welcoming discomfort, staying curious, and embracing vulnerability along the way, which you’ll learn more about in this episode.

Ultimately, it's not about reaching your North Star. It's about keeping the compass pointed in the right direction. If you want to find out how to stop wishing for change and start making it happen, tune in today!

Topics discussed in this episode:

• We get vulnerable about where we are in our own journeys
• How Brian got started on his mission to help others
• Why you have to discover yourself to discover happiness
• The joy that can come from putting action in motion
• Why taking incremental steps toward your North Star is key
• Understanding the value of sharing your setbacks with others
• Overcoming fear and complacency with curiosity
• How you can benefit from embracing discomfort
• Advice for taking that first step by looking back at childhood
• How Brian encourages people to pursue their North Star
• A reminder that it’s your choice to change your behavior
• Tips for finding the simplest path forward
