Mental Health is Your Superannuation: Chelsea Pottenger's Blueprint for Burnout Prevention
Chelsea Pottenger, founder and director of EQ Minds, shares her deeply personal journey from corporate high achiever to mental health advocate after experiencing severe postnatal depression that led to a five-week psychiatric hospital stay. She reveals how this life-changing experience inspired her to dedicate her career to helping others achieve high performance without burnout through mindfulness and resilience strategies. Chelsea discusses practical workplace burnout prevention techniques she's implemented with major corporations like Google, Westpac, and CBA, including simple changes like scheduling late-night emails and conducting empathetic leadership check-ins. She explores the fascinating connection between gut health and mental wellbeing, explaining how the gut-brain axis impacts mood, energy, and our ability to handle stress. Chelsea emphasizes her non-negotiable daily meditation practice and shares her powerful philosophy that "mental health is your superannuation" - encouraging listeners to invest in their wellbeing with the same consistency they would their financial future.
