071: Does your career journey feel stressful or lonely? (Inspired by Mental Health Awareness Week)

Dive into your Career

You're currently on your career journey (we all are... as career is all about your journey through work, learning and life). Has this journey ever felt lonely or stressful?
Ah - for you too? You're not alone.
Mental Health Awareness Week in the UK took place from 9-15 May 2022 in the UK and as is the case with most awareness weeks - it's brilliant that the issue at hand achieves huge focus on the week itself but it remains important that it is on the agenda all year around. This episode "Does your career journey feel like a stressful or lonely one" is inspired by this week.
So, how does mental health (wellness and illness) and career progression go hand in hand?
