On this episode of Transform Talks, Ardeshir Mehran, Founder and Principal at Human Work Studio, joins host Maria Villablanca.
 
Maria and Ardeshir dive into mental wellness or, as Ardeshir sees it, emotional wellness. Mental implies the mind or only the brain. In reality, mental health and mental illnesses are composed of feelings that radiate throughout the body.
 
Anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder are a few examples of mental illnesses. All of them impact more than just the mind.
 
Ardeshir illuminates the subject that is often taboo to discuss or even admit in leadership positions in the business world. Depression fought is actually a gift, he says.
 
He addresses the issue or common thought of having too many problems or fires going on in life to consider emotional wellness. Ardeshir breaks down this mirage of complacency around your body's health. Your mind should follow your body's messages rather than the other way around.
 
Listen to the entire episode to learn more and hear Ardeshir walk through an exercise to determine if you have anxiety.
