EPISODE 97: DEENA

"I don't really want to talk about this at all, but let's do it," Deena told Renée when they started talking. Deena, a performing artist, has a brilliant dry wit - but in this case she was only half-joking. She has a bunch of painful content that she'd rather ignore; fortunately, she's too smart for that, so she has come to the show for help unpacking the knot of depression and trauma she has been carrying for years. And that's not all: she and Renée talk about ADHD and how it can complicate friendships, people-pleasing behaviors, what "healed" really means, and more. Deena's humor, intelligence, honesty, and eloquence make for a brilliant conversation, so much so that Renée stops mid-conversation to tell her so. This one is fast-paced, rich in content, and ends with a path to personal peace.
