Do you ever feel like you’re juggling more than just your work? You’re not alone.Between balancing the demands of your job, personal challenges, and the constant pressure to show up as your best self, it’s not always easy to thrive at work. The modern workplace (and life) has made it difficult—if not impossible—to take care of yourself and your mental health.But the truth is, taking care of your mental health is just as important for your professional success as it is for your personal well-being.In this episode of Prevention Pioneers, Laura sits with Shira Wilensky, National Practice Leader for Health and Well-being at One Digital. Shira has spent over fifteen years in the corporate wellness space, helping organizations shift the way they approach employee well-being. Together, Laura and Shira dive into how workplace mental health has evolved, why emotional support at work is essential, and the generational differences that shape how employees experience mental health today.Shira opens up about the challenges of being part of the “sandwich generation”—balancing care for aging parents with raising kids—and how that personal stress shows up at work. Finally, they also talk about the importance of emotional intelligence in leadership, how to make employees feel safe enough to ask for help, and why managers need the right tools to support their teams through tough times.If you’ve ever felt like you’re barely holding it together or you’re trying to create a work culture that actually supports mental health, this episode is for you.Tune in now for more insights from Shira.Key Takeaways: Introduction (00:00)Meet Shira (00:39)The evolution of corporate wellness programs (02:25)Generational perspectives on mental health (15:36)All about mental health literacy (26:23)How to create a supportive culture for employee well-being (36:47)Additional Resources:🌱 Book a FREE demo of our preventative mental health platform: https://spirencewellness.com/solutions/ 🌱 Go to https://spirencewellness.com/ and gain access to: 🔹 Extensive content library with courses, live events, and tools🔹 One-on-one coaching & therapy for individuals🔹 Manager wellness & leadership support 🔹 Seamless integration into your existing benefits ecosystem—Prevention Pioneers is a podcast for leaders who are committed to using cutting-edge preventative wellness strategies to shift the narrative of mental health, maximize engagement, and minimize absenteeism.This podcast is hosted by Laura Kunz, the Co-Founder & CGO of Spirence and a passionate mental health advocate. Don’t forget to follow/subscribe so you never miss a new episode!
