How mental health impacts leadership: Daniela Seabrook on Lead From Within

When you grow up with a famous last name, or even just family expectations that feel impossible to escape, there comes a moment when you have to choose: keep performing the role, or dig deep and find your own path. This week on @livefreelifestylepodcast, Academy Award nominated actress, author and mental health advocate, Mariel Hemingway shares how she broke free from living under the shadow of being a Hemingway and stepped into being herself. Not rejecting the legacy, but refusing to let it write her story. We talk about: • Why the only person who can truly heal you is yourself- and how to stop outsourcing your power to teachers, gurus, and external validation • The survival roles we create as young as seven years old that keep us trapped in patterns for decades • How to recognize when you’ve become someone you don’t want to be—and what to do about it • Why taking responsibility for your story (not blame) is what allows you to leave it behind and transform it into purpose This episode is for anyone who’s ever felt trapped by who they’re “supposed to be” because of family, society, or the roles they’ve been playing their whole life.

When Ben Pearson shares that he works in the mental health realm, he immediately faces an invisible wall of assumption. It’s a powerful moment that anyone in a support-driven field can relate to: the moment your professional identity precedes you. The core challenge? It's not the work itself, but the widespread misunderstanding of what treatment is, how it works, and what it truly means to be a professional in the space. As Ben puts it: "If they know at all that I'm in mental health, I'm cursed... The assumption... is people get very in their head about what they think I'm thinking." This isn't just about therapists; it's a profound commentary on perception in any specialized field. We often project our anxieties or expectations onto the expert, assuming a constant state of "analysis" or deep insight, when in reality, they might just be trying to figure out, as Ben humorously notes, "where's the chips?" How often do we allow the audience's perception of our job title to dictate the interaction? We must proactively manage that narrative.

This feels apt to post on World Mental Health Day Even though Toks Aruoture is talking in the first instance about changing a business name & rebranding, I'm sure we can all relate to the energy drain it is to hold on to something for too long. I also see this shift all the time in my clients - yes, rebranding can feel scary! - but boy can it help you shift gears and move things on, too.

October is Mental Health Awareness Month, and in this short clip 🎧 CIBERVOCES PODCAST | With Sandra Suárez Pérez , we talk about something that goes far beyond technology “emotional balance in the digital era” In the full episode, we discussed digital transformation, female leadership, media evolution, presidential campaigns, and purpose… but in this moment, I wanted to open a more human space where we spoke about leadership, the constant pressure to stay “active,” and what it really means to take care of our emotional wellbeing when everything seems to be measured by visibility and productivity. In this clip, I am sharing part of my experience with anxiety and my Chief Mental Healh Companions 🐾 Bruno & Jordie (emotional support dogs) because it’s okay to be vulnerable. “What truly matters is to raise your hand, seek help, and surround yourself with professionals, mentors, and coaches. No one should have to face the silent battles alone.” 💬 This clip is a much-needed pause. ✨ October reminds us that mental health is also about leadership, through empathy, presence, and truth, even in the digital world. 🎙️ Don’t miss the full episode of #Cibervoces with Sandra Suárez, President of Círculo de Mujeres Semana-Dinero, including her insight into Mental Health 💡 Streaming this Saturday on Spotify , Youtube Channel , and all platforms Cibervoces Podcast By Andrea García Cyberspecs Training Hub by Andrea Garcia #Cibervoces #AndreaGarciaBeltran #SandraSuarez #CírculoDeMujeres #MentalHealthAwareness #DigitalWellbeing #FemaleLeadership #DigitalTransformation #PodcastLatam #MentalHealthMonth Círculo de Mujeres Semana Dinero

💫 In honor of #WorldMentalHealthDay, I’m reflecting on the deep connection between storytelling, creativity, and mental wellness. In the latest episode of “Starts and Stops with Sheila Harris,” I sit down with gospel artist and licensed therapist “Lesa Henry” to discuss the healing power of music and her uplifting new single, “I Am A Winner (Remix)”.

It’s an inspiring reminder that resilience, faith, and purpose-driven creativity all play a role in maintaining mental wellness — especially for entrepreneurs, creators, and change-makers balancing so much every day.

Why do so many people feel stuck even after years of therapy? Dr. Aimie explains the missing link: trauma lives in the body, not just the mind. Until biology is addressed, through nervous system regulation and cellular repair, healing will always feel incomplete. This conversation is a game-changer for anyone working in mental health, leadership, or personal growth. It shows why resilience requires more than mindset, it requires safety in the body. 🔔 Watch the full episode to learn practical tools for deeper healing and transformation. #TraumaInformed #LeadershipDevelopment #MentalHealth #HealingJourney #Podcast #EverydayAncestral
