Ep 048 - A Holistic Approach to Overcoming Depression with Danny-J

In this episode of Redefining Motherhood, I sit down with Danny-J, an award-winning entrepreneur, keynote speaker, and podcast host. She shares with us her inspiring journey and how despite facing tremendous challenges with mental health, trauma, and more, she has been able to emerge with strength.

Danny candidly shares her personal battles with depression from a young age, including hospitalization. She believes genetics, environment, and trauma all influence mental illness.

We explore how cognitive distortions can fuel depression and Danny's path to changing negative thought patterns. Alternative modalities helped when traditional medication fell short. Through therapy and holistic treatments, she has been able to manage her symptoms.

Her story of placing her daughter for adoption as a teen and rebuilding their relationship is moving. By openly sharing her vulnerabilities, Danny aims to reduce the stigma around mental health.
