In this inspiring episode of Ignyte Your Why, I’m joined by someone who’s not only a close friend, but a true warrior--Tomas (Wise) Williams. After drifting away for a bit to focus on his gaming channel and personal growth, he’s back to share how his faith in Christ helped him fight through anxiety, depression, and self-doubt.

We talk about healing, rediscovering purpose, and the confidence that comes from surrendering to God — not the world. Whether you’re struggling silently or seeking that next step, this conversation will remind you: you’re not alone, and you are stronger than you think.

This episode gets real. We’re talking about something that’s often hidden behind a smile, a to-do list, and a busy schedule — high-functioning depression.

I open up about my own struggles with it… because honestly, I’ve been feeling drained. And if you’re listening to this feeling exhausted but still “getting things done,” you might be going through it too.

We dive into what high-functioning depression actually looks like, why it’s so hard to recognize — even in ourselves — and how we can start healing without guilt. This isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about starting the conversation.

If you’ve ever felt like you had to keep it all together for everyone else while falling apart on the inside — this one’s for you.

🎧 Take a breath. Tune in. You’re not alone.

This episode is for the content creators, the dream chasers, and anyone trying to navigate purpose in a world obsessed with perfection.
