A note before you press play: this episode includes an open conversation about depression and suicidal ideation. If that’s not where you are today, it’s okay to come back to this one later. If you or someone you know is struggling, call or text 988.
There’s a version of “having it all together” that looks really good from the outside.
Successful. Capable. High-achieving.
The one everyone relies on.
And sometimes… that’s the very version of you that’s struggling the most.
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Yami Cazorla-Lancaster — physician, podcast host, and someone willing to speak honestly about her experience with depression and suicidal ideation.
This is one of the most real conversations I’ve had about what it costs to keep holding everything together… and what begins to shift when you stop.
We talk about:
• physician mental health and burnout
• the expectations women carry from culture and religion
• why high-achieving women are often the last to ask for help
• what rebuilding actually looks like — not perfectly, but honestly
• and what it means to give yourself permission to want something different
This isn’t a before-and-after story.
It’s a conversation about being human.
And sometimes, that’s exactly what we need.
