• Episode 22: Finding Yourself Again: Identity After Mental Health Struggles
    Feb 23 2026

    Who are you after depression, trauma, anxiety, or burnout changes your life?

    In this deeply reflective episode of Labels Don’t Define Us, Sarah explores the journey of rediscovering identity after mental health struggles.

    When you’ve spent months or years in survival mode, it’s common to feel disconnected from yourself—unsure of your strengths, your purpose, or even your personality.

    This episode dives into:

    • Losing identity during depression and “depression fog” • Trauma identity and survival roles • Feeling broken after emotional abuse or long-term stress • Rebuilding self-esteem and self-worth • Rediscovering purpose after anxiety or PTSD • Healing relationships after mental health struggles • Finding joy again after burnout

    Through powerful real-life stories—including couples rebuilding connection, a veteran discovering new passion after PTSD, and a woman reclaiming her confidence after emotional abuse—Sarah shows that healing isn’t about going back to who you were before.

    It’s about becoming who you are now, with resilience, clarity, and self-compassion.

    If you’ve ever wondered:

    “Will I ever feel like myself again?” “Who am I without my diagnosis?” “Can I rebuild my identity after trauma?”

    This episode offers validation, insight, and hope.

    ✨ You are not broken. ✨ Your struggles are part of your story—not your definition. ✨ Labels don’t define us.

  • Episode 21: Neurodivergent Burnout: Understanding, Preventing, and Healing It
    Feb 16 2026

    What is neurodivergent burnout—and why does it feel so different from regular burnout?

    In this powerful episode of Labels Don’t Define Us, Sarah explores the realities of autistic burnout, ADHD burnout, and bipolar burnout, and why neurodivergent individuals are especially vulnerable to long-term exhaustion, masking fatigue, sensory overload, and nervous system shutdown.

    You’ll learn the key differences between traditional workplace burnout and neurodivergent burnout, including symptoms like skill regression, executive dysfunction, emotional exhaustion, increased anxiety, and sensory sensitivity.

    Sarah shares deeply personal listener stories—including couples navigating burnout together—and highlights how healing is possible with the right support, boundaries, and lifestyle adjustments.

    This episode also features a special interview with Olivia, a neurodivergent entrepreneur and mental health speaker who transformed her own burnout into a purpose-driven business.

    She now gives lectures on neurodiversity, mental illness awareness, and sustainable mental health strategies.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • What neurodivergent burnout is and how it develops • The impact of masking and chronic stress • ADHD and autism burnout recovery • Bipolar burnout during depressive cycles • Sensory rest and nervous system regulation • Energy budgeting and boundary setting • Preventing burnout relapse • Long-term healing strategies for neurodivergent adults

    If you’re feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself, this episode offers validation, education, and practical tools for recovery.

    You are not lazy. You are not failing. You are responding to overload.

    ✨ Healing is possible. ✨ Rest is productive. ✨ Labels don’t define us.

  • Episode 20: Medication, Myths, and Mental Health Management
    Feb 9 2026

    Mental health medication is one of the most misunderstood and stigmatized topics in wellness today—and in this powerful episode of Labels Don’t Define Us, we’re breaking the myths and sharing real stories of long-term healing.

    Hosted by Sarah, this episode explores common misconceptions about antidepressants, mood stabilizers, anti-anxiety medication, and ADHD medication — including the fear that medication changes your personality or means you’ve “failed” at healing.

    Through compassionate storytelling, expert-informed insight, and lived experiences, we look at how medication can be a supportive tool rather than a defining label.

    You’ll hear real medication journeys from people managing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and ADHD, along with honest conversations about side effects, working with doctors, adjusting treatment safely, and building a sustainable mental health plan.

    Sarah also shares inspiring stories of individuals who turned struggle into strength through creativity, community support, therapy, and self-compassion.

    This episode is for anyone questioning medication, currently navigating treatment, or supporting a loved one on their mental health journey — and for anyone who believes healing is personal, powerful, and never one-size-fits-all.

    ✨ You are not your diagnosis. ✨ You are not weak for needing help. ✨ Labels don’t define us.
