Episode #52: Changing the Stigma Around Mental Health for Greater Impact with Joyce Marter

In this raw, powerful, and deeply personal episode, I sit down with Joyce Marter, an internationally recognized mental health expert, entrepreneur, and thought leader, to explore the revolutionary role of self-care in leadership. Joyce has spent over 25 years guiding individuals and leaders through their mental health journeys and is on a mission to redefine what it means to lead — with heart, power, and resilience.

Our conversation dives deep into the heart of the mental health epidemic that so many leaders and entrepreneurs are silently battling. From imposter syndrome to burnout and the great exhaustion sweeping across the globe, Joyce and I unpack how these challenges are more than just individual struggles; they are systemic issues that impact the way we show up as leaders in the world.

We discuss how embracing self-compassion and vulnerability is not a sign of weakness, but rather the key to activating your full potential. We challenge the outdated norms that tell us to “grin and bear it” and explore why asking for help, setting boundaries, and creating space for healing are not only critical to your well-being, but essential for the impact you want to make as a leader.

Throughout this conversation, Joyce shares the power of empathy and why true connection is the foundation of transformative leadership. She encourages us to stop hiding behind our egos and to lead from a place of authentic strength — one that’s grounded in compassion and deeply rooted in self-awareness.

We also dive into the importance of shifting the narrative around success and wealth. It’s not just about the numbers or external validation; it’s about cultivating an abundant mindset that supports holistic well-being — mind, body, and soul. This new era of leadership isn’t about “doing more” or “having it all”; it’s about leading with intention, embracing our full power, and creating an environment where all of us can thrive.

This episode is for anyone feeling the weight of the world on their shoulders, struggling with burnout, or questioning whether they have what it takes to step into their leadership. Joyce’s wisdom offers a clear path forward: Reclaim your energy, embrace your humanity, and lead from a place of authentic self-care and deep empathy.

If you're ready to redefine success, own your power, and step into a new paradigm of leadership, this conversation is your invitation to do just that.

💥 Tune in and join the leadership revolution. The world needs your light.
