In this episode, Lindsey sits down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a Columbia-trained psychiatrist, researcher, and thought leader on hidden depression in high achievers. Get ready for a girl-to-girl chat on breaking free from the productivity trap and finding real joy.
Peek behind the curtain of why so many millennial + Gen Z women feel “meh” even when life looks good on the outside.
Dr. Judith spills the science of your personal happiness, reveals secret symptoms of depression, and shares her signature 5 Vs for unlocking more pleasure on the daily.
Ready for the truth about hustle culture, creative burnout, and how “having it all” can sometimes leave us empty? You’ll laugh, nod, maybe cry a little—but most importantly, you’ll walk away with soul-nourishing tools to start living joyfully… starting now.
