About this episode

The episode discusses the complexities of sharing mental health diagnoses in the workplace and features insights from mental health professionals.

Mental health is something many workplaces say they support today. But when it comes to actually sharing a diagnosis at work, many professionals still choose to stay silent. Why is that? Through an honest and thought-provoking discussion, we unpack the fears, trade-offs, and decisions people face when navigating their careers while managing their mental wellbeing. Joining us for this conversation are two experienced voices in mental health: Sharon Teo - Psychotherapist and Educator , who works with individuals across diverse communities including athletes, military personnel, and youth. Dr Mian-Li Ong - Clinical Psychologist , who works with children and adults navigating ADHD, trauma, depression, and other mental health challenges. Together, they share insights from both clinical practice and real-world workplace experiences, helping us better understand the difficult decisions professionals face every day. If you’ve ever wondered whether being open about mental health could impact your career, this is a conversation worth listening to. 🎧 Tune in to hear the full episode. --- 🎧 The Financial Coconut: Your weekly source for empowering financial knowledge and unlocking…
