Shining Through the Seasons Managing Your Mood and Motivation with SAD

Welcome to Elevate Your Mindset with Tamika Brewington, the podcast where licensed mental health therapist Tamika Brewington helps listeners thrive in both their personal and professional lives through real-world wellness strategies.

In this insightful episode, Tamika dives deep into Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) — a form of depression that follows a seasonal pattern, often appearing during the fall and winter months when sunlight is limited. She explains how reduced daylight can affect serotonin levels, leading to fatigue, low motivation, and irritability. Tamika reassures listeners that these changes are biological responses, not personal flaws.

The episode also provides practical mental health tools for managing SAD, including adjusting personal and professional goals, setting realistic expectations, and prioritizing rest, light exposure, and self-care routines.

Tamika’s compassionate guidance encourages listeners to embrace and prepare for seasonal mood changes, rather than pushing through burnout or ignoring emotional shifts.
