The Strive Together Podcast with Linda Neville & Guests

In this episode, Linda sits down with Aime Ayrehart to talk about mental health, the workplace, and the knock-on effect our struggles can have on the people around us.

At the centre of the conversation is one simple belief:

We all want to do the right thing.

We all want to be good people at work, to communicate well, to support others and to show up in the right way. But sometimes, when we are struggling ourselves, that becomes harder.

We talk about the assumptions we make about other people, why certain behaviours show up, and what might actually be happening underneath the surface.

Because sometimes it is not about someone being difficult. It is about someone having a difficult time.

A thoughtful conversation about mental health, behaviour, empathy and what it really means to support each other at work.

They explore the value of having people around you who challenge you, support you and give you space to be fully yourself - without judgement or expectation.

It is a conversation about growth, connection and neurocuriosity, and what can happen when we stop trying to fit people into boxes and start getting curious about who they really are.
