Description: In this episode, I want to discuss mental health issues that I have seen around me. We just spent 3 weeks back in the United States and I had many meetings with friends, past clients, and professional colleagues. I heard many of them speak about the mental health issues they or their families were experiencing in this post-pandemic world. I wrote about this in my last Career Pivot Insights newsletter, and I receive more responses than I have ever received. It obviously resonated with a lot of people. This episode is sponsored by the Career Pivot community but more on that later. I am going to keep this short as I think it is an important topic. Topics I discuss are as follows: Burnout and the need to take a break Job has changed due to climate change and now dealing with unhappy customers Mental health issues due to businesses collapsing due to the pandemic The once tolerable commute is now intolerable because of unreasonable demands of management Going down a rathole of conspiracy theories My own battles with mental health and how I now deal with it If anything in this episode sounds familiar I want to encourage you to get help. I have experienced a lot of mental health issues in my life and it took some real prodding to get help. I have sought help multiple times in my life and I am always glad I did. The pandemic has been hard on all of us. If you need help go get it. This episode is sponsored by Career Pivot.
