Warning: This possibly triggering dialogue about personal growth, workplace healing, and the intrinsic responsibilities of being an entrepreneur is intense — but could be exactly what you need for the leader you are becoming.  Working through our own unresolved traumas is a deeply personal journey. It’s one that we typically don’t consider when setting out to grow a business, because it just feels so… separate. Or so we think.  For Annie Wright, LMFT, it's time to start rewriting the way we look at relational trauma and healing not only for ourselves – but for who we are becoming as *business leaders*… and those around us whom we impact. As a licensed trauma therapist, successful entrepreneur, and passionate advocate for mental health in the workplace, Annie founded Evergreen Counseling — a multimillion-dollar therapy center in Berkeley, CA that specializes in supporting individuals who have experienced relational trauma. And she is a champion for mental health and trauma healing within companies and business environments — in the interest of both employees and founders. In this episode of Reward, The Trust founder Ali Brown sits down with our member Annie to discuss how *critical* it is for personal growth and unresolved issues to come to light when building your own business, *especially* when our life’s work is so deeply intertwined with our deeper soul-work. Do NOT miss this.  On this episode of the #REWARDPodcast, you’ll hear: How Annie’s own journey navigating childhood trauma informed her leadership style The actionable steps you can take in addressing personal trauma in the workplace (HINT: this means being aware of your own unresolved issues as a leader too!) Annie’s powerful advice on how "rupture is inevitable, but repair counts” in *every* situation, from kids to clients Ali’s personal confession of her fears around her own parenting (this was an emotional one!) The *BEST* therapy methodologies for effective results (it might be time to switch methods for what you need) Annie and Ali’s mutual love of the coveted Eselan Kale Salad (IYKYK) AND the affirmation you may have been seeking that your mental health deserves to be protected — not only in your personal life, but as an entrepreneur too!
