0:00.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, Episode 166, perfectly hidden depression, an interview with Dr. Margaret Robinson Rutherford.
0:12.0	Welcome to the Widowed Mom podcast, the only podcast that offers a proven process to help you work through your grief, to grow, evolve, and create a future
0:23.5	you can truly look forward to. Here's your host, master certified life coach, grief expert,
0:30.3	widow, and mom, Krista St. Germain.
0:34.5	Hey there, welcome to another episode of the podcast. This is one I didn't see coming. I'll have to be

1:37.1	mother of a child, which of course you all are because you're listening to this podcast episode,
1:42.8	pay attention to how this could be impacting your child
1:47.5	and preventing you from seeing what's really going on for them.
1:53.0	And then also I want you to consider,
1:55.0	do you relate to this idea of perfectly hidden depression?
1:59.9	Are you someone who is suffering from perfectionism,
2:04.9	who is suffering from a lack of self-acceptance? And what is there for you to gain from this episode?
2:11.9	All right? And then on another note, before we get into it, as you're listening to this podcast
