Dive into your Career

071: Does your career journey feel stressful or lonely? (Inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week)


Listen Later

You're currently on your career journey (we all are... as career is all about your journey through work, learning and life). Has this journey ever felt lonely or stressful?

Ah - for you too? You're not alone.

Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK took place from 9-15 May 2022 in the UK and as is the case with most awareness weeks - it's brilliant that the issue at hand achieves  huge focus on the week itself but it remains important that it is on the agenda all year around. This episode "Does your career journey feel like a stressful or lonely one" is inspired by this week. 

So, how does mental health (wellness and illness) and career progression go hand in hand?

Ummm... how doesn't it?!

I am honoured to support students and new graduates on their journey from education to employment (and entrepreneurship) in a spirit of fun and optimism, not fear and overwhelm - and paying attention to your mental health is a really important part of that.

This episode touches on a few important topics which will make a huge and nearly immediate positive difference to how positive your journey can feel - those are:
1. Comparisonitis and
2. Community
