What a difference a few hours make in BC! To make business travel healthier for body & mind, I pick 1 or 2 outdoor adventures per trip. In this case, kayaking in Deep Cove then a gondola ride in Whistler. Glad I packed for all-season weather!! ☀️🥶

Folks are reluctant to take a stress leave because they don't want their teammates to have to pick up the slack. But if you don't take care of yourself now, it can get worse and lead to bigger problems. Prioritize YOUR wellbeing so that you're ok, and you can help others later.

Don’t get discouraged when you go a few steps forward and then back one. You’re still making progress. Mental health is a long-term investment, not a penny stock.

Always hopeful, never ashamed. That’s been my mental health mantra to feel strong and let go of the stigma surrounding depression (hey, no one put “watch life pass me by” on their vision board!) Hope you find empowering/comforting words to get you through difficult times. 💛

Have an honest talk about why you're on the phone so much. My son shared he's on his phone because "there's nothing to do." So we asked him about hobbies, books and goals he'd like and now he spends less time scrolling.

I share my mental health story to show the possibilities that await you on the other side of adversity. To anyone knee-deep in the stressors life throws your way, take a moment to acknowledge what you’ve overcome. Celebrate your wins. You’re stronger than you think.
