Dr. Judith Joseph: Struggling in Silence? 5 Ways to Reclaim Your Joy and Overcome Depression Mar 25, 2025

Show notes

Are you really okay, or have you just become good at pretending?

Many of us go through the motions—showing up, performing, and pushing through—while feeling disconnected, drained, and on the edge. If this resonates with you, you’re not alone.

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I talk to Dr. Judith Joseph, a psychiatrist and mental health expert, about high-functioning depression. We dive into why some of the most seemingly “put-together” individuals are struggling in silence, and how suppressing pain can also dull our capacity for joy. We explore how people-pleasing and overachievement often serve as coping mechanisms, and discuss small but impactful changes that can help you reconnect with yourself.

Dr. Judith also shares the 5 Vs, a science-based approach to finding balance, processing emotions, and rediscovering joy.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be fine but aren’t, this episode is for you.

Stop Looking at Old Pictures of Yourself! Embracing Growth Instead of Grieving the Past Mar 04, 2025

Show notes

How often do you look at old photos and think, I looked so much better then?

It’s so easy to romanticize the past, to hold onto this idea that our younger self was somehow better—but was she actually happier? Did she feel whole, confident, and at peace? Or was she just as self-conscious, just as critical, just as unsure?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I dive deep into something I’ve been working on myself—grieving the past versions of me while learning to fully embrace the woman I am today. We’ll talk about why aging feels so daunting, how society tricks us into believing our worth fades with time, and the mindset shifts that can truly set us free.

I also share the biggest lesson I’ve learned from my grandma, who at 90 years old is the most beautiful, vibrant force of nature—inside and out. Because here’s the truth: our value isn’t tied to how we look, how young we are, or how much we’ve changed. It’s about how deeply we live, love, and grow.

So if you’ve been feeling like you’re losing parts of yourself with time, this one’s for you. Let’s shift that perspective, together.

What Was Discussed:

00:00 Intro
02:21 The one lesson that changed how I see aging
03:40 Why are we afraid of growing old?
05:36 What if aging is actually a gift?
07:18 The mindset shift that changed how I see aging
11:19 My grandma’s secret to thriving at 90
13:02 Were you really happier when you were younger?
15:05 Why “You don’t look your age” isn’t a compliment
16:11 How to actually enjoy the age you’re in
18:35 Three truths to remember when you feel insecure
20:30 How embracing aging helps you embrace yourself
