Episode Summary:
Lisa and Gretchen dive into one of the most unspoken issues in today’s working world—suicide in the workplace. Drawing from 45+ years in corporate America and years of mental health advocacy, they unpack how leaders and peers alike can identify warning signs, offer real-time support, and create a work culture that doesn’t just talk the talk, but actually protects people. If you manage a team, work from home, or simply care about people, this is a must-listen.
✨ Lessons Learned:
- Warning signs of suicidal ideation and burnout often go unnoticed—especially in remote or hybrid work settings.
- Mental health support starts with conversation and genuine connection, not a handbook.
- Managers must normalize check-ins, encourage open dialogue, and stop stigmatizing “mental messy.”
- Creating psychologically safe workspaces can literally save lives.
