Why Am I Still Not Okay? Breaking the Silence Around Depression

Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. Sometimes, it looks like a smile, a full calendar, or a woman who seems to have it all together. In this powerful episode of She Knows Her Worth, Dr. Avery Neal is joined by Registered Psychotherapist and mental health advocate Jenn Horrocks to explore the silent struggle of high-functioning depression—especially among women who are used to being the strong one. Together, they break down what depression really looks like, why it so often goes unrecognized in high-achieving women, and how emotional burnout, people-pleasing, and internalized shame play a role. If you’ve ever thought, “I should be fine... so why do I feel this way?”—this episode is for you.
