What happens when we stop treating mental health like a corporate checkbox… and start talking about it like real humans?
Mental health week is not a mental health strategy. Jodi Brown on what genuine support looks like inside a business, and how confidence and stress feed each other in both directions.
Together they explore:
• The moment Jodi realised mental health needed to be spoken about differently
• The biggest challenges he sees across businesses, communities, and youth today
• Why audiences often switch off from traditional mental health education
• How lived experience changes the way conversations land
• What organisations often get wrong when trying to address mental health
• The role confidence, stress, and responsibility play in modern life
• And the small shifts that can create powerful personal change
This is a thoughtful, practical, and refreshingly real conversation about mental health — one that moves beyond buzzwords and into conversations that genuinely connect.
If you organise events, work with teams, support young people, or simply want to understand mental health conversations in a more human way, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
