What Can Grace and Frankie Teach Us About “Perfectly Hidden Depression?” You May Be Surprised!

Like so many things in life, anxiety and depression are often over-simplified in the movies and on TV. And, while tears and social isolation can indeed come with both of these conditions, the reality is often more complicated. So, today, I would like to share an article by one of our bloggers, Dr. Margaret Rutherford, on the topic of “Perfectly Hidden Depression.” This is a phenomenon that occurs when we hide our depression from others… or mask it with perfectionism, over-responsibility and plenty of forced smiles. I think you will find her connection to the show “Grace and Frankie” fascinating. Join us for a cup of tea (or coffee) and a chat. And, if you enjoy the show, please tell one friend about us today. Your support means so much to me!

NEW! Just in time for the holidays, we have released our very first aspirational card deck. It includes 46 inspirational messages to help you get more from life after 60. Watch the video below to see the cards. I poured my soul into creating these for you!
