In this episode of Life’s Checkmark, we welcome Saroni, a former IT professional turned mental health advocate, whose journey through personal family challenges has shaped her mission to spread awareness and resources about mental well-being. Host Jon Emery engages with Saroni as she recounts her transition from leading customer experience design in tech to owning a mental health clinic, spurred by the struggles and heartache brought on by the pandemic. Saroni opens up about the impact of COVID-19 on her family, discussing the mental health battles faced by her sister and son, and underscores the importance of seeking early intervention and professional help.

 

Saroni has truly turned her grief into purpose, dedicating herself to educating others about mental health through social media, podcasts, and performing arts. Her story not only sheds light on the critical importance of mental health but also offers hope and support to those experiencing similar challenges.
