Have you ever felt torn between your professional responsibilities and your personal life? Join me, Melissa Franklin, on Structuring Chaotic Minds as I open up about my journey from a leadership role in education to prioritizing my family and mental wellness. Learn about the emotional and physical toll of trying to balance it all, especially in the wake of my grandfather's passing. I candidly share how my relentless dedication to my students came at the cost of precious time with my children, eventually leading to a complete mental breakdown and severe health complications, including a debilitating bout with COVID. These life-altering experiences forced me to reassess my priorities and embrace the necessity of being present for my family.
In the next segment, we focus on the imperative of self-care and mental wellness. Discover how letting go of certain responsibilities can open doors to new and better opportunities. It's crucial to acknowledge that it’s okay not to do everything and to seek support when needed. I highlight valuable resources available at structuringchaoticminds.com and structureinnovations.com, where you can connect with coaches or mentors to assist with mental wellness and life balance. Join me for an episode dedicated to breaking the stigma around mental wellness and underscoring the importance of personal well-being for a healthier, more balanced life.
