What are you carrying right now? In this first episode of Kate’s Carry-On: Mental Health & More, I’m sharing what I’m carrying at the moment. From bipolar and grief to caring responsibilities and perimenopause. Some days it feels like I’m wearing every layer I’ve ever been through… all at once. This is an honest, gentle conversation about the weight we carry, why it can feel so heavy, and the quiet strength it takes to keep going anyway. Because even a slow crawl… still counts

Feeling disconnected from your own life while still trying to function and carry on. An honest conversation about the heaviness so many people quietly carry behind smiles, routines, and appearing “okay.”
