I love the honesty and the realness in your videos ❤ Please do not stop that.

Thank you! ❤ It's not easy staring into your crying face for 10min while you're editing the video... but I think it's worth making aware of it.

I definitely had a bout of depression after getting my PhD, a kid, a house in rapid succession my early 30s. I had checked off all my boxes and felt like I didn't know where to go.

This is extremely identifiable. At 47, Ive realized that we need to create new purposes as we've completed old ones.

I continued feeling better afterwards and could be proud of being 'Doctor Popp' now. Hope this helps anyone experiencing something similar.
