"Mental health isn’t a side conversation anymore—
it’s THEE conversation. And I’m showing up to lead it."

About Me
If there’s one thing I’ve learned after 30 years in HR, it’s this: the workplace can make or break your mental health. That’s why I created a podcast dedicated to exploring the connection between work and well-being. As a professional speaker, workplace strategist, and mental health advocate, I’ve spent years having honest conversations about the challenges people face behind the polished job titles and performance reviews.
I’ve listened to leaders trying to navigate impossible pressures and employees quietly struggling under the weight of burnout, bias, and unrealistic expectations. Now, I’m bringing those insights to the mic during my podcast "As I Was Saying".
