13. Mental Health in the Events Industry

Beyond the BEO

We all know event planning can be stressful and in our busiest seasons, sometimes it feels like we can’t stop for a breath. But that is why our mental health is so important. In order to do our best work, we have to be sure we are taking care of ourselves.

This week’s episode, I’m chatting with Anika Ved, a freelance events consultant and mental health advocate. We discuss mental health in the events industry including why it’s important to take care of our mental health as much as our physical health, how we can find ways to take care of our mental health and industry-specific resources.
