Mental Health Week - Your Questions Answered with Natacha Pennycooke

Description

Happy Mental Health Awareness Month! In our quarterly mental health episode of Marketing Sucks, I’m joined again by the incredible Natacha Pennycooke for a deep dive into some of the biggest mental health issues faced by business owners. This time around, we’re tackling juicy audience-submitted questions, like:

How can I see myself as others do?
How do I figure out what my emotional needs are?
How do I create healthy boundaries — and actually STICK to them?
Is my drive to succeed in business just high-functioning anxiety?
How can I stop comparing myself to others on social media?
How do I know if I’m addicted to work?

What should I focus on first when dealing with loss?

Tune in as we explore our love-hate relationship with influencers (and how to strategically unfollow them), the benefits of connecting with like-minded people, and the surprising power of a well-placed sticky note.

Marketing sucks. Let’s learn together. Hit play to discover:‌ ‌

How to ditch the social media comparison game, so you can stop feeling bad about yourself for no reason
How to reframe the concept of boundaries (and stop feeling weird about setting them!)
How to put yourself first and fiercely protect your non-negotiables
