In this episode...
Having worked in both the corporate and start-up worlds, Bridie understood the mental health challenges her team faced. But she didn’t show herself the same understanding.
As she helped her remote colleagues cope through the pandemic, she piled pressure on herself. Until one day, Bridie found herself literally paralysed with anxiety, unable to get home while walking her dog.
Starting a new job after a few months out, she was determined to not make the same mistake of neglecting her own needs again.
You’ll hear about the challenges of setting boundaries while working remotely, and how leaders sharing their own mental health battles can be a catalyst for change—both for their team, and themselves.
