Lara Burmeister's journey with depression

Spread the light with Dr Devika B

Lara Burmeister, MBA, is a first-generation German-American who has spent most of her career working in roles to combat climate change. She lives with depression.
Hear about what Lara challenged herself to do to get through her darkest moments, her well-time and red flag toolkits, how depression changed her, and how she rebuilt her identity in its wake.
Trigger warning: In this interview, we talk about passive suicidal ideation and depression.
