LinkedIn Presents

I'm Maura Aronsmeli, and this is the Anxious Achiever.

We look at stories from business leaders who've dealt with anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges,

how they fell down, how they

pick themselves up, and how they hope work will change in the future.

The conversation around mental health, it's never really finished.

It's not about an awareness month or a two-hour awareness session.

It's an ongoing thing that we all need to be aware of and constantly evolve on.

And incorporating mentally healthy practice into your work is something a lot of us don't think about or we don't know how to do.

But it's a

discipline and it's a skill, just like filing your expense reports or showing up every day.

That's why we think it's really important on the show to follow up with some of our favorite

guests from past seasons and see where they are now. I'm super excited to bring back Prisca Neely

today. We first talked to Prisca early in the pandemic.

She was just beginning her first job as a manager, and she really hoped to lead from a place of

empathy and understanding. I invited her back to see how her relationship with her team has gone

and how her career has progressed and what she's

learned. I think you'll take away some practical tips on how to be a more mentally healthy

manager, considering things like onboarding and building a real team culture over Zoom.

And if your manager needs these ideas, you could slyly suggest they have a listen to the show.

Priskenili is a journalist, and she's now the managing editor of the Gulf States Newsroom,

a public radio collective covering Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana.
