12.01.2022 The pressures of starting and running a business and leading a team can be overwhelming. We're often pretty good at looking like we've got it all together on the outside, but the reality behind the scenes can be pretty messy. Today is RUOK Day. Check in with each other, even those who look like they have it all together. Today isn't about posting lighthearted "I'm OK, Are You?" messages on social media, it's about starting authentic conversations and becoming comfortable with talking about our mental health care in the same way we do for our physical. And if you're not okay, don't fall in the trap of comparing yourself to others...the truth is, we're all winging it.
