Let's delve into the realm of mental health today! In our discussion, we'll explore the prevalent challenges surrounding mental well-being, offering practical strategies for navigating and fostering mental health, particularly within a professional context.
Recognising mental health as a cornerstone of overall well-being is paramount, especially for business owners. Its impact extends to decision-making, creativity, and relationships with both employees and clients. The rigors of work challenges, stress, and long hours can adversely affect mental health, both professionally and personally. Creating a supportive environment is crucial. As a business owner, empathy plays a vital role, given that clients and collaborators may also require support.
Joining Sarah today are Natalie Ellis, the award-winning founder of Rebox HR, and Matt Young, from Who Needs Instructions, also known as 'The Journalling Guy'.
Natalie Ellis, who established Rebox HR in 2020, shares her journey of success and the importance of shedding the metaphorical mask that business owners often wear. While accolades were attributed to the business, recognising and celebrating personal achievements is equally vital.
Having started her business after experiencing burnout in her corporate role, Natalie emphasises the significance of acknowledging signs of mental health challenges and seeking help.
Her book, 'Launch Your HR Career,' is available on her website, with a second book due for release next February.
Our second guest, Matt Young, of Who Needs Instructions, a not for profit business, and The Journalling Guy focuses on men's mental health, and shares the alarming statistic that 75% of suicide rates are men over 50, often due to suppressed feelings. Matt's initiatives include free events, walks, night hikes, breakfast meetups, and a supportive WhatsApp community, creating a safe space for men to openly discuss their thoughts and feelings.
'The Journalling Guy' is an online course, promoting the transformative power of journaling, both online and in-person in Devon.
Matt now runs The Journalling Guy online course, and locally in person in Devon.
