Weeeee're back! Let's kick off season 6 with a conversation that aims to diffuse some stigmas while showcasing a story of bouncing back in a big way.

During Mental Health Awareness Month in May, we sat down with Kayla Kozan who shared her experience navigating a nervous breakdown that eventually led to her being diagnosed with a mental health disorder that changed the trajectory of her life.

Kayla takes us through the signs of her nervous breakdown, how things culminated in a scary medical emergency, how she battled depression during her year off work, how she was able to recover and recalibrate, how it inspired her to make mindfulness meditation and corporate wellness more accessible for others, and how it brought her back to Saskatchewan to become a founder of her own startup.
