Soul In Survival Mode

What's This Podcast
About?

A daily podcast for people who are technically functioning — barely — and exhausted by advice that assumes energy they don't have. If you've ever stood in the shower just standing there, stared at a text you couldn't answer, or known exactly what you should do while being completely unable to start it: this show is for you. I'm not a therapist or a doctor. I'm a soul living in survival mode, same as you — reading the actual research on depression and behavior, and translating it into things you can do from the couch, the bed, or the floor. Episodes are 10–15 minutes, every day, built for low-energy brains: big ideas on Mondays, one tiny action on Tuesdays, myth-busting the wellness industry on Wednesdays, real-life stories on Thursdays, one study explained on Fridays. Saturdays are soft — five gentle minutes that ask nothing of you. Sundays we review the week with a strict no-shame policy. Every month has one challenge sized for people at zero, and a free companion workbook with no dates, no streaks, and a page for when you disappear and come back. Because you will. That's designed in. No hustle. No toxic positivity. No "just think positive." A B-minus effort that happens beats an A-plus plan that doesn't. You can miss episodes, listen out of order, vanish and return. There's no behind here. This show is education and company, not treatment. If you're in crisis, please reach out to a crisis line or someone you trust.
