Depression Does Not Have to Be the End of the Story — Ullis Karlsson on How Spirituality Became Her Path to Healing

For Ullis Karlsson, the journey through depression was not just personal. It brought her face to face with the question of whether life was worth continuing, and what she found on the other side of that darkness became the foundation of everything she now teaches. A spiritualist and author, she joins Stacey Chillemi to share the tools and insights that helped her move from the depths of depression toward genuine inner peace, and how spiritual wellness became not a supplement to healing but its core. What she shares about the specific practices that helped her find purpose when everything felt purposeless, why spirituality offers something that conventional approaches to depression often cannot, and what she hopes her newly released book gives to people who are in the place she once was will give anyone navigating depression, or supporting someone who is, something honest, compassionate, and genuinely hopeful to hold onto.
