On this week's episode author Fiona Thomas shares her experience of mental health and the importance of managing it in the workplace. She discusses the dangers of burnout and why creating a positive community online is so important.

Fiona is from Birmingham, UK and was diagnosed with depression in 2012 and felt completely lost. She was unable to work for almost a year, and turned to blogging in that time turned as a hobby. However, though it started off as a way to pass time, Fiona quickly became obsessed with the online world, leading her to experience high levels of anxiety. Now a proud advocate for technology as a communication tool for those of us who suffer the crippling symptoms of mental illness, Fiona has used the internet to help hone her identity and create a supportive community. Fiona has her own website and is a freelance writer with work published on Metro, Grazia, Healthline, Heads Together, Mind and Happiful magazine. This book is an extension of her work, and a celebration of all that's possible through the power of social media.
