Quotes about change: "Self-care is about being kind to yourself." Leslie Bennett is a Partner with Mental Health Innovations, focused on supporting organizations that prioritize workplace mental health.
Leslie has had a personal journey with her own mental health and has asked that we let our listeners know that this conversation may be confronting or challenging for some.
Leslie was diagnosed with a bipolar disorder in her 20’s, and she describes a very painful period of her life where the decisions she was making weren’t healthy or safe. Shame, isolation, and aloneness came with her diagnosis.

Leslie talks about the importance of self-care, including sleep, nutrition, exercise, and what she watches on TV. Self-care changes are based on what’s going on in her life.
