One of the conversations that is coming up more frequently - which is so great to hear! - is the topic of mental health and how this plays a role in our day-to-day life. It affects us personally and professionally and without getting a hold on it, can lead us into places we don't want to be.

I am so glad that Jennifer Bussey offered to come on the podcast and talk about this from the perspective of someone who has been through it. 

On this episode, we talk about:

- How insecurities can sneak up and how to confront these before they become bigger detriments in your life.

- How to identify if you're struggling from any depressive or anxious tendencies and what to do when you do face these.

- Dissociating what happens in your business from you as an individual

- What to do when you are feeling lonely and why you need to have a WHY at the pillar of your business.
