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.
It's tough for me to hold down a job when I'm not used to working. Now that depression has loosened its grip on me for the moment, I'm going to make the most of it while I can. I'll do what I can, when I can, so that when I can't, it won't be such a big deal.
