About this episode

Sheldon discusses the importance of mental health check-ins for safety professionals in high-stress environments.

📄 Description / Show Notes As safety professionals, we’re wired to look out for everyone else’s well-being — but when was the last time you checked in on your own mental health? In this introspective episode, Sheldon opens up about the importance of taking care of your emotional and psychological safety, especially in a high-stress, high-responsibility field like EHS. 🎧 He challenges you to ask: What are you doing for your mental health right now? How are you managing burnout, isolation, or overwork? Do you treat mental health as a compliance issue — or a culture issue? From self-awareness to intentional self-care, this episode is a needed pause — a mental PPE check for those who often carry the weight for others.
