96 - An interview with Michelle E Dickinson - Ted Speaker, Wellbeing Strategist and author

Our guest, Michelle E. Dickinson, is a very passionate mental health advocate, a TED speaker, and a published author of a memoir entitled Breaking Into My Life. She goes first and sees herself as the bridge that helps people get comfortable with their mental health so that they reach out and get the support they need before they hit a crisis. She makes it ok to not be ok and thrives on making a real difference in the lives of others – especially around their wellbeing. After years of playing the role of child caregiver, Michelle embarked on her own healing journey of self-discovery. She went on to spend years working to eradicate the mental health stigma within her own workplace by elevating empathy and compassion, causing more open conversations, and leading real change in how mental illness is understood. She also knows first-hand what it feels like to struggle with a mental illness after experiencing my own depression due to challenging life events. This has provided her with a rich perspective. Michelle is out to do her part to eliminate the stigma by normalizing the mental health conversation within the workplace and beyond. She partners with innovative leaders to bring her programs and mental health strategies to help them cultivate cultures of compassion for those living with or caring for those with invisible disabilities. Her Resilience webinar has made an impact with empowering thousands of employees during COVID-19 quarantine.
