As I have been going on this journey with mental health, I have met many people along the way who all have their own stories to tell. In fact, one of the things that inspired me to start sharing my story was hearing from others. Every time I heard from a friend or an acquaintanceContinue reading “A mini interview series on mental health”

Why I like coaching
I’d like to start coaching people, and I just added a section on my website to that effect. So before I send out a call for volunteers, I thought it was important to explain what I like about it and why I’ve decided to pursue this path.
Reflecting on 2018
Although 2019 has already started and people are furiously writing about trends, goals, and everything future-gazing, I wanted to take the time to reflect on 2018. As I sat down to write an end of year Facebook post I realised that I simply had too much to say, so why not turn it into aContinue reading “Reflecting on 2018”
The end of year breakdown
Originally this blog post was going to be tongue in cheek – recounting funny experiences of end of year breakdowns.

How to change workplace cultures that lead to mental health issues?
I’ve been addressing mental health in the workplace for a while, but one cannot talk about burnout (or other issues) if one doesn’t talk about what leads to it… A lot of my articles focus on the individual and knowing oneself, which I continue to believe is of utmost importance. But is undeniable that certain environmentsContinue reading “How to change workplace cultures that lead to mental health issues?”
My favourite resources in 2018
While I still want to talk about mental health, learning and development and leadership on the blog, I thought I would switch things up and share my favourite resources of 2018 so far. After all, it’s only fair to share some love with those who are inspiring me, give you other places to search forContinue reading “My favourite resources in 2018”
How to support a colleague – mental health in the workplace
Last time I wrote about team dynamics in the workplace and how they can affect your mental health. A really important part of that, is how to help someone else when you see they are in need. If that person is part of your team, or a colleague you see suffering, what can you do?Continue reading “How to support a colleague – mental health in the workplace”
