If you have been with me for a while, you may have noticed that I’ve been slowly mentioning the topic of depression. I have finally arrived at a place where I am willing to share more with you on this topic.

Depression in its many forms is still something that many of us don’t talk about. And yet, I know how many women it is affecting because I get the phone calls from you every week.

This is the first in a three-part series about my journey with depression and the helpful things I’ve learned along the way that may help you as well. This week I’ll be talking about some considerations around exercise to keep in mind.

There are many shades of the blues, moods and emotions that get lumped together into the topic of depression. If you’re really struggling and in a bad place, please seek the support of a loved one or trusted professional.

My intention in this three-part series is to share a bit about my own personal journey, the things I’ve learned, and some general tips that I believe can help you too if you find yourself in the same boat.

Also keep your eyes out for the next two parts in this series. Next week I’ll be talking about nutrition and how what you eat affects how you feel. Then, on October 31^st, I’ll be sharing some tools that I’m using to assess and understand the emotional considerations.
