Summary

Wellbeing shaming: What is it? Is it happening to you? How do you navigate it without making things awkward? For this week's episode, I'm bringing in Melissa Doman, organizational psychologist, former Clinical Mental Health Therapist, and mental health at work specialist. She's also the author of Yes, You Can Talk About Mental Health at Work...Here's Why (And How To Do It Really Well). We talk about how to make the most of an uncomfortable scenario, and how to stick up for your own personal boundaries during your 9-to-5.
