  • Summary

  • Host Morra Aarons-Mele is on a mission to reframe how we think about anxiety and mental health in the workplace. Anxiety disorders are the most common mental illness in the U.S. We desperately need better models for leadership and a more holistic view of mental health. Our culture tells those of us who suffer from anxiety and depression that we can’t succeed, but we tell a different story — without sugarcoating the tough stuff. We feature stories from people who’ve been there and experts who can help you thrive. Listen in your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1480904163

  • How Envy Impacts Work and Leadership

    How Envy Impacts Work and Leadership
    Oct 23 2024
    Envy can drive us - but it can also drive us into a wall. It can motivate us at work, but it can make us - and the teams around us - miserable. And sometimes, envy is trying to tell us we might want a change in our own life. In this episode, we revisit a conversation with executive coach and president of PartnerExec, Nihar Chhaya, about how to recognize and reframe envy before it gets the best of us at work.

Don't think "codependency" applies to you?

Think it again! This 30 minutes will bring any interpersonal struggles at work into glaring focus! I found this so impactful and resonant, I had to listen to it twice.

Courage

Morra does us all a service and pushes the conversation on Mental Health in the absence of fostered conversations and professional work spaces. it is absolute nourishment to listen to these podcasts and read her book as it gives a basis for bringing these conversations into the workplace and if not at least what it would be like to work in such an environment. in my opinion this book is a classic as great as the many other cliches throughout time but this one has a modern conversation that just isn't being had amongst other authors and leaders.
