In this deeply honest episode of Clear & On Purpose, Christina opens up about her current experience with seasonal depression—from the middle of it, not the polished “after” view. As the days get darker and the winter heaviness settles in, she shares what this season feels like, what’s helping her stay grounded, and why she’s choosing compassion over constant “high vibes.”
Instead of pushing herself to stay positive or bypass the harder emotions, Christina talks about allowing space for the slower, quieter energy of this time of year. She walks through the practices that support her (movement, time outside, intentional mornings, cozy creativity, supplements, rest) while also naming the reality: sometimes these tools don’t lift you into joy—they simply help you stay steady. And that’s enough.
If you’ve been feeling low, depleted, or unlike yourself lately, this episode will help you feel seen, supported, and reminded that you are not alone—and that this truly is a season, not a failing.
