Happy World Mental Health Month! Entrepreneurs definitely need reminders to prioritize our well-being, especially as we move into winter (AKA the depression season). In this episode of Marketing Sucks, I sit down once again with the one and only Natacha Pennycooke, award-winning psychotherapist and leader in workplace mental health and safety, to talk about our heightened risk of mental health issues during these sun-deprived months, and what we can do to stay healthy and protect our peace.

Tune in to learn the physical and emotional symptoms you should watch out for (and what to do when you recognize them), how to cultivate some game-changing self-compassion, and why we all need to overcome the internal stigma that keeps us from asking for the help we need.

Marketing sucks. Let’s learn together. Hit play to discover:‌ ‌

Common challenges we face during the winter months — and the 4 Ds that will help decrease your mental load!
