This week we are featuring , who recently released her book “Closer Together.” Sophie is a powerful voice in mental health advocacy, drawing on her personal experiences to inspire others.

In collaboration with Dr. Gabor Maté, Sophie’s book delves into the importance of emotional literacy. She advocates for a deeper understanding of our feelings and how they shape our lives. As she reflects, “It’s not a moment, it’s a growth, it’s an evolution” - underscoring the profound personal growth that can arise from even the most challenging circumstances.

Sophie’s journey has been shaped by her time in the public spotlight, which she freely admits has been incredibly difficult. But she has used that platform as fuel, channeling her purpose into uplifting others. At the core of her message is a belief in the power of community - a value that resonates deeply with us at Stories.

Sophie’s willingness to share her story and promote emotional well-being makes her an invaluable voice in the mental health space. We’re excited for our readers to discover the transformative journey she invites us on through “Closer Together.”

Sophie’s story reminds us of a quote we love by Dr. Caroline Leaf: “Your purpose is not the thing you do, it’s the thing that happens in others when you do what you do.”

Mental health is crucial, especially in the workplace where we spend most of our time.

The average person spends about one-third of their life at work, equating to roughly 90,000 hours over a lifetime, according to research by the

Given this significant time investment, the culture and environment of the workplace play a crucial role in shaping employees’ mental wellness.

As we enter Mental Health Awareness Month this May, let’s reflect on how the former CEO and co founder of , managed to navigate work-life balance.

With an audacious vision to revolutionize the entertainment industry Marc Randolph, alongside Reed Hastings, launched Netflix in 1997, armed with just 925 DVDs and a determination to disrupt the status quo.

But the road to success wasn’t a smooth one. Despite their bold ambitions, Netflix struggled to gain traction in its early days. With skeptics lurking around every corner, many dismissed the idea —a tiny blip on the radar of entertainment giants like Blockbuster.

Instead of giving up Randolph doubled down on his vision, tirelessly refining the Netflix model and pushing the boundaries of innovation.

Yet, amidst the hustle and bustle of entrepreneurship, he also recognized the importance of work-life balance and mental well-being.

Reflecting on his journey, Randolph shared his dedication to spending quality time with his wife, highlighting their cherished Tuesday date nights.

For over thirty years, he had a hard cut-off on Tuesdays, leaving at exactly 5 pm to spend the evening with his best friend. Those moments kept him grounded and provided perspective on his work.

In a bold move that shocked the industry, Netflix transitioned from DVD rentals to online streaming—a game-changing shift that redefined how the world consumes entertainment.

Today, Netflix boasts over 200 million subscribers worldwide, reshaping the very landscape of entertainment.

Marc exemplifies mental well-being amidst entrepreneurial challenges—a struggle faced by 95% of founders. His commitment to quality time with loved ones reminds us of the importance of balancing personal life with professional pursuits.

26/04/2024

76% of companies don’t believe in achieving work-life balance

80% of business owners report feeling like they work too much

77% of workers have experienced burnout

Every founder dreams of reaching the ultimate balance between work and life, and on your journey, you feel a lot of guilt and pressure.

The reality however is that pursuit of a perfect work-life balance is unrealistic and leads to frustration, burnout and disappointment. Instead we invite you to explore a more realistic and attainable concept – creating harmony between your work and personal life.

Join “Build a Sustainable Business with Work-Life Harmony,” hosted by , to hear our founder and CEO , MA, PCC speak about work-life balance, particularly for founders and entrepreneurs.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights and connect with fellow founders and entrepreneurs striving to find balance in their journey towards success.

🏆MOST INNOVATIVE MENTAL HEALTH TECH

Repost from
They told me I was crazy, I kept going…

They told me I was too early to the market, I kept going…

They told me not to talk about mental health, I kept going….

This week, we won "Most Innovative Mental Health Tech" award by mentl

I am grateful for the judges 🙏
I am grateful for every single founder, leader, CEO, HR leader and human who shared amazing insights with the Stories team, as we navigate a new territory 🙏

I am grateful to the Stories team 🙏

I am grateful to Scott Armstrong for finally bringing mental health to the forefront. 🙏

Everyone is chasing more money, revenue, clients, visibility, and productivity…

But, there is something stopping them from achieving these…

Pause…

Pizza time is always a good time but if you can relate to this, we need to talk ✋🏼

Well-being at work should most definitely be a priority for every company.
🍕 And that looks like different things to different people.

Is it company retreats? Increased benefits & pay? Maybe personal coaching?

Whatever it is, our stance is, wellness needs to be defined BY the EMPLOYEE. At the end of the day, that’s who it’s meant FOR.

And if these initiatives are not going to make a difference in overall wellness, what’s the point?

What does corporate well-being look like to you? Share your thoughts with us below 👇🏼

Are your employees disengaged? Burnt out? 🔥

It's not them it’s you.

The truth is that the problem lies with the company, not the employees.

👨‍💻 While you can target the issue through employee-focused initiatives, the real secret lies in changing the structures that lead to burnout in the first place.

👉 These include heavy workloads, job insecurity, excessive collaboration, or frustrating work routines*.

💥 One you target processes at an organizational level, only then can you truly combat burnout on an individual level.
