EP53: High-Functioning Depression: The 4 Lies You’re Telling Yourself

You’re killing it on the outside — promotions, plans, polished vibes — but inside, you’re whispering lies like “I’m fine” and “I can handle it alone.”

In this eye-opening episode, Robin and Deborah bust the 4 lies that fuel high-functioning depression, the hidden struggle of the woman who never lets the mask slip.

We’ll explore:

• Why “functioning” doesn’t mean “fixed”
• The busy badge, the isolation trap, and the superwoman myth
• Scripts to challenge these lies in real time
• How friendship can be the mirror that shatters the illusion
