Morra Aarons-Mele was way out in front on matters of workplace mental health, and it shows in these elevated, nuanced discussions and her empathetic & experienced moderation. 10/10 recommend.
Every time I pull up a new episode I’m like Wow this is an issue or topic I’ve been thinking about or working on.
I saw you joined the yap network and I’m so disappointed. The podcast network is known to cheat the charts and gaming the system with fake followers and fake likes just to look cool. You are better than that Morra. You don’t need to play games to get listeners. This seems to be something an anxious achiever would do out of fear and goes against everything I thought your show stood for!
The suggestion of a friend had me searching for podcasts that covered topics like ADD, imposter syndrome and similar. This one immediately seemed to hit the mark. I picked 3 different episodes, and I’ve already gotten so much from them. I feel so many feelings knowing there are people who get me. Thank you to the host and producers of this podcast.
It has really been an important prop in handling daily stress, work challenges and learning more about myself! Highly recommend
