It’s Dec 24 -- and many of us are heading into PTO.

Science reminder:
Vacation helps only if you mentally detach.
Thinking about work = stress, not rest.

Culture change doesn’t happen just because we care about mental health.

It happens when we systemize, embed, and normalize it—turning wellness from an afterthought into a daily operational standard.

This quote from my podcast guest Monica McConkey has stayed with me:

“Meeting people where they are means acknowledging their reality - not dragging them into yours.”

That’s what it takes to build trust in workplace mental health.
