Dr. Rhonda Wood, an award-winning international keynote speaker and mental health advocate with over 30 years of corporate experience, joins host Lady Kendall for a deeply personal conversation about breaking mental health stigmas. Both women courageously share their own struggles with mental health, revealing how they’ve learned to navigate between genuine smiles and the masks we often wear to appear functional while battling inner turmoil. The discussion powerfully illustrates how mental health doesn’t discriminate, affecting corporate leaders, mothers, and advocates alike, often running through generations and requiring ongoing support and therapy. They explore the dangerous societal expectation to always appear strong, challenging the stigma that views self-care as weakness while celebrating those who constantly give to others. Their conversation emphasizes the critical need for workplace mental health support, including ‘care days’ for employees experiencing triggers, and highlights how personal adversity can transform advocates into powerful voices who can recognize suffering in others and offer the invisible hand of support.
