This is the Read to Lead podcast, episode 368.

Self-care and approaching for me, depression was all about a holistic view.

It was about putting healthy habits and rhythms into my life, so I didn't land

up in the same place that I was just coming out of. Shame tells those struggling with depression

and anxiety that they're not good enough. It tells them there is something fundamentally raw.

Well-meaning friends might even whisper that a lack of faith is the cause of these deep-rooted issues, adding another

layer to the shame.

Hi, I'm Jeff Brown, and this is the Read to Lead podcast, the podcast that's dedicated to your

personal and professional growth.

I'm here because I believe that if you want to achieve true success in business and in life,

that intentional and consistent reading is a must.

I help you narrow your reading list and through my interviews with today's most successful

and inspiring authors bring you the key insights and main ideas from their book.

Today we're going to be joined by Victoria Minninger, and we'll dive into her book,

Daring to Fight, when grit, grace, and faith take depression head on. I'll ask Victoria

to share what it means to own your story, why she calls depression the master of disguises.

She'll share how she reconciles depression with her faith and lots more.

As you probably heard, I'm in the process of releasing my own book coming out in August,

and I'm in that part of the process where I'm proofreading it, having read most of it over the weekend,

and it is riveting.

But seriously, I would love for you to consider pre-ordering a copy right now.
