We're peeling back the layers on a topic that's both heavy and incredibly important: depression. Life is filled with many struggles that people often carry in silence, and we want to foster awareness and understanding around these unspoken battles. This week's 'Mana Bombs' episode centers on the truth that people don't fake depression; they fake being okay. We're sharing personal insights, experiences, and reflections to shine a light on how even the most seemingly high-functioning individuals can be fighting their own silent battles. Join us for an intimate chat as we discuss how to recognize the signs, the importance of a supportive community, and how sometimes just being present for each other can be the greatest gift of all. 💖 Let's encourage a space of kindness, openness, and understanding. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 01:05 Understanding Depression 03:50 Personal Experiences with Depression 05:37 Supporting Loved Ones 08:42 The Importance of Aloha 25:53 Seeking Help and Resources   Follow Pō Mahina Designs: http://www.pomahinadesigns.com @pomahinadesigns, @manabombsllc   Follow the Moana Nui Podcast: http://www.moananuipodcast.com   •Moana Nui Podcast on YouTube  / moananuipodcast      / moananuipodcast   @moananuipodcast, @thereallifemoana #ManaBombs #MoanaNuiPodcast #PoMahinaDesigns #HawaiiPodcast #ManaBombMondays #LifeAdvice #SelfLove #BeKind #Aloha #HolidaysAndMentalHealth #MentalAwareness #SupportNetwork #Empowerment #GenerationalHealing #MentalHealth #EmotionalWellbeing #LifeLessons #PersonalGrowth #SelfReflection #Relationships #CommunitySupport #PodcastLife #MindsetMatters #KanakaMaoli
