So sometimes you will have folks that are experiencing depression and they , and you tend to find that , oh my goodness , they're lacking this or they're a little deficient in that . Um But at the end of the day , did the depression cause it did it cause the depression , they , if there's a , you know , sort of a feedback loop and so it's a little challenging .
What , what , like , you know , so much of our , our podcast is about giving , um , our listeners really helpful life hacks and this is a topic that so many people can relate to . Personally , I can absolutely relate to um um experiencing some severe depression and anxiety and having to learn a full toolbox of kit .

Um But at the end of the day , did the depression cause it did it cause the depression , they , if there's a , you know , sort of a feedback loop and so it's a little challenging . Yeah .
Yeah , I feel like I was sort of , I felt like I was born unhappy . I was really depressed . Very sort of skeptical pessimistic about life itself , you know , and , uh , I did pretty well in school .
