220: 20% Depressed

This week, I'm feeling only 20% depressed and navigating life in a new reality—one where most of my time is spent working. After over a decade of freedom (read: depression) to pursue personal projects, adjusting to the 9-to-5 grind has been challenging. In this episode, I break down my typical week, share insights about my new job, and discuss how I strive to let my light shine for Jesus in the workplace.
