LinkedIn Presents.

I'm Maura Erin's Mealy, and this is the anxious achiever, the show that looks at the intersection of mental health and work and how we can all do both better.

One of the things I love best about hosting the show is the community we created.

It can be so lonely, so lonely to deal with mental health challenges, and many people still suffer in silence.

But since starting the show, I've heard from so many of you who are working to fight stigma,

who are coming forward and telling their story, and who are making work better and healthier for everybody.

You know, almost three years into the pandemic, the good news is that we're talking about

this stuff in the open.

But we're also now in a moment, call it return to work meets quiet quitting.

That feels really uncertain, messy, and scary.

A lot of people also ask me questions.

They want advice.

And so to kick off the new season of the anxious achiever,

we're going to answer some of those questions.

Later in the show, I'll bring in Callie Yost, CEO and founder of the Flex Strategy Group,

to talk about remote and hybrid work in particular.

But first we have Amelia Ransom.

She's VP of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at SmartSheet, with over 20 years of experience

in HR.

I wanted to talk to Amelia about all things mental health and work, especially now in this particular moment.

I'm so thrilled to have you on the show. I have had over these past few years really memorable conversations with you, and I value your counsel. So I'm going to give you a bunch of questions from listeners that are relevant to work you currently do or work you've done over your career. And I think this is really helpful because I don't know about

you, but I think that people are just really confused about what work is right now.
