Mental Health Momentum

Today's guest is Nikki Walker, the Director of Community Engagement & DEI at Domo and the Founder of NWPR & Consulting.

A year ago, Nikki became weighed down with burnout, exhaustion, and was not taking care of herself like she knew she should. She checked herself into a mental health facility for 35 days, and this experience changed her life and opened up new opportunities to talk about empowerment, mental health, and to help others overcome their challenges.

Workplaces need to have a plan in place for helping their employees avoid burnout, and many workplaces offer free counseling for their employees. HR departments are full of those who want to help their employees have a healthy, happy worksite.

Nikki and her other amazing co-authors wrote "Awareness Put Me On" that you can read for yourself to learn more about some amazing journeys!

Eric and the Bloom team are creating a positive mindset for their employees – helping them know where their next paycheck is coming drastically improves mental health and creates mental health stability. Eric also strives to be "on" wherever he is – when he's home, he is intentional bout being home, and the same is true for when he's at work. This helps him decrease any mental health burdens that would decline his mental health.
