🎙️ Episode 13: Cheerleading Is an Action Sport – How to Stay Up When Your Person Is Down

What do you do when your person is not okay—and nothing you say seems to help? How do you stay present, grounded, and hopeful when the weight keeps falling on you?

In this episode, Tony and Kristy open up about the quiet, exhausting work of carrying each other through hard seasons—especially when one of you is shut down or running on empty. Whether it’s depression, ADHD, burnout, or just that long ache of emotional fatigue, this isn’t about “being strong.” It’s about staying connected when the gap feels wide.

This one is for the quiet fighters. The ones who stay up when their person is down. The ones who pray in the hallway and show up when it’s not easy. If that’s you—this episode is for you.

🔥 What You’ll Hear in This Episode:
• What emotional cheerleading looks like behind closed doors
• The tension between support and silence
• How depression, ADHD, and burnout affect your rhythms
• Why gratitude is less about mood and more about training your eyes
• How to plan for hard seasons before they hit
