S10 EP11: Depression Warrior Katie Zornes is Here!

Meet Katie Zornes! She calls herself a depression warrior and we
call her an inspiration! Katie struggled with loss, grief, and
depression early on. Have you heard the saying that time heals
everything? We've heard it too, and it's BS. As many of us know,
it's quite possible to do the things we need to get done and to
look just fine doing them, while on the inside, old wounds still
feel debilitating, and we go about our day not knowing if we'll
fall apart. 


Katie was at odds with her body for a long time and her weight
became her identity. She cursed her body and thought weight loss
would be the golden ticket to a happy life.  Want to hear
how Katie managed to lift herself out of a very dark place using
one ounce of courage at a time? Katie shares her story in the
hopes of helping others who struggle as she did, and admittedly
still does. Katie's story doesn't involve any quick fix or magic
diet. But we'll give you a hint: she talks about intentional
movement and the importance of meeting ourselves where we are at.
In 2022, Katie made a list of hard things that turned into a
movement and has inspired so many people to do the same. Want to
know how she got started? Because we all know, starting is the
hardest part.
