What happens when you’re in a leadership role, but you’re dealing with your own mental health crisis?

How do you lead others, but deal with having a mental breakdown?  

What happens if you have to go out on leave, take medications, or seek additional help with your mental health (yet you’re a leader)?

Josh Cutler is my guest on this episode, and he shares his powerful story with us as a leader in healthcare, an author of his first book and a licensed therapist.  

Josh Cutler, MSW, LICSW is an experienced psychotherapist, clinical social worker and he has a true COMMITMENT for improving access to mental health services for people vulnerable to suicide.  

Josh is passionate about sharing his own struggles with diagnosis of and recovery from a serious mental illness.  His hope is that his own vulnerability will lead others to seek help. 

I feel deeply grateful for getting the chance to have this conversation with Josh, and more than that, the work he is doing is truly helping so many others out there in the world.  

We have all dealt with some form of mental struggle, and now more than ever we MUST begin to incorporate ways to support our teams and ourselves during this time.  If you’re in a leadership role, you know there is an added element of responsibility that can end up contributing to your own burnout and mental health stress.  

Give this episode a listen and comment with your take-aways.  You never know who you might be affecting by sharing YOUR story!  

Stay well, friends, and let’s continue this journey together—On the Way Up!
