20. Working Through Depression with Tori Pintar

Season #2

She found freedom when she stopped trying to "fix" depression. 

 

Tori Pintar knows a thing or two about viewing life through different lenses. A photographer by trade, and a marketer by choice, she's come a long way from her point-and-shoot days. Her business is all about capturing everyday people in raw moments. 

 

Luckily for us, she shares some of her rawest moments in return.

 

Depression has ebbed and flowed through Tori's life for twenty years. Whenever it reappears, it's met by a version of her who is wiser, more compassionate, and better equipped to move through it. Even when the will to participate in life wanes, she knows joy will return—and she has her toolkit at the ready. 

 

"I want to get 'Go Outside' tattooed on my arm." It helps, as does reawakening her senses through cooking. Depression has boosted her endurance in many ways, even more so than the marathon training that helps her reach the other side. 

 

In this episode, Tori shares how she learned (and keeps learning) to show herself grace. She also speaks openly about her past struggles with orthorexia and the intuitive eating practices that helped her reharvest time and energy for things that truly bring her joy.

 

Like bringing her neighbors homemade sourdough baguettes in her pjs on a snowy Christmas morning.
