Reflecting on Depression: Steph's Story of Resilience

To cope, I journaled a lot and wrote letters to my brother. I took a tv production class my sophomore year and knew production was for me.
Ever wondered how childhood experiences shape who you are today? This episode of 'Discovering Our Scars' offers a deep dive into Steph's journey with depression, as detailed in Chapter 2 of her memoir, 'Discovering My Scars'. Diagnosed at fourteen, Steph tried to mask her feelings with a smile. Yet, the shadows of depression lingered. High school brought a turning point when she discovered her passion for video production and revitalized her Girl Scout Troop.
These activities became her lifeline, providing a sense of purpose and a creative outlet. Steph and Beth discuss how these experiences not only helped Steph cope but also influenced her adult life. The episode encourages listeners to reflect on their own childhood memories and consider how they've shaped their present selves. Tune in for an honest conversation about mental health, resilience, and the power of finding your passions.
