Summary
As we had the Mental Health Day last week, I thought it was appropriate to talk about business and mental health on the show. Today, we will go through my mental health challenges and how I struggled with them, especially at the beginning of my journey in this industry. Today's episode is about creating a compassionate look towards others because we never know what is going on in their lives. It is also an optimistic look at things, a call to be grateful even when it looks there is nothing to be thankful for.
What You Will Learn In This Episode:
- Why it is essential to address and deal with our challenges and triggers to our mental health issues
- What strategies we can use to get our business ready to function without us
- The discovery I made about my health in 2019 that would change my world
- What are the things the chronic disease taught me to be grateful for
I believe that normalising conversations about mental or physical health issues is a good way of showing people that, even while facing massive challenges, things can be done, a business can thrive, and an entrepreneur can be successful. Instead of pretending life is perfect, we can teach strategies to organise a business so that it doesn't require our presence 24/7.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to Making Money Online with Lisa Johnson, the podcast that tells you what it really |
| 0:09.2 | takes to build a business and the simple steps to get you there. I'm determined to share with you |
| 0:13.9 | the reality of easy, simple business marketing tips to make passive income so that you can |
| 0:19.3 | start making money online. |
| 0:29.9 | Hello and welcome to today's podcast episode. It's a solo episode today because we've just had mental health day for 2021. And one of the things that I never used to talk about in business at all is my own mental health |
| 0:41.5 | because from a young age I've had depression, I've been diagnosed with depression and anxiety |
| 0:47.5 | because of the, mainly because of the things that happened to me at school, the bullying that I endured at school |
| 0:53.1 | and because of a rather chaotic childhood. And I never used to talk about it. And then a couple of years ago, |
| 0:59.8 | I realised that by not talking about the things that happen in my own health, mental health and |
| 1:07.6 | general health, I'm kind of allowing the stigma, the tabooness of having any |
| 1:14.9 | kind of mental health issue to continue. And we need it to not continue because I think things |
| 1:22.3 | are getting better. People aren't kind of viewing mental health, especially the same way. |
| 1:27.4 | But there's still a lot of work |
| 1:28.5 | to be done. And so I started talking about it. And today I wanted to talk about it on here, because I |
| 1:34.6 | talked to you a lot about strategy and, you know, different ways of managing your mindset and that kind of |
| 1:41.1 | thing. But all of those things are very different if you're already dealing with a mental health issue or an ongoing chronic disease of which I also have. |
| 1:52.0 | I will tell you about that now. So, you know, today I wanted to cover some of the strategies |
| 1:56.4 | that I've used and how I've done things differently in case there is anybody listening |
| 2:02.8 | that is also going through something similar. So for me, I've always done business differently |
| 2:08.7 | because of the depression and because of the anxiety. So right from the beginning, I knew that I |
| 2:15.4 | needed to find some kind of way of making money without me constantly being in the |
| 2:20.4 | business because of that. Because if I had a bad day, then I wouldn't be able to show up. And, |
