In the previous episode we tried to take an honest look at sadness, and a tried to speak candidly about my own experiences in dealing with depression, anxiety, and dark emotional periods. In this episode I really wanted to continue the conversation, to try and probe a little bit deeper, and to try take it in another direction. I think that there's more that we can say here and so, lets talk a bit more about sadness.
