About This Episode:

On this episode of Unf*ck My Business, we examine the often-ignored topic of mental health in the workplace. Our host, who personally deals with manic depression and bipolar disorder, brings attention to the 'hustle and grind' mentality that can mask mental illness in the business industry. We explore the impact of high-stress environments, remote work, and societal attitudes on mental health. We also dive into the role of leaders in creating a compassionate space for employees and training people to recognize behavior styles in others to better navigate mental health challenges. With input from healthcare professionals and personal experiences, we discuss ways to cope with mental health issues and remove the stigma around talking about it in the business world. Join us to gain insights on how mental health is not just an individual issue, but also affects organizations and business outcomes.
