In this episode, Kayla chops it up with Erayna Sargent!

Erayna is the founder and CEO of the mental wellness brand Hooky Wellness. The Detroit native has her bachelor’s degree and a master’s degree in Business Administration from Grand Valley State University and Indiana University, respectively. She built her career in brand management and innovation across the consumer goods category and tech, working with businesses like Nestle and Intuit.

In June 2019, she changed direction when she started Hooky Wellness. Inspired by her own journey with mental health, her hope with the company is to encourage the working class to put themselves first. Her mantra is, “work hard, self-care harder.” 

In this episode we discuss:

  • The stages of grief as it relates to her leaving her job due to burn out. 
  • A walk through each of the stages of grief as it relates to her experience with burnout: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. 
  • The most difficult part of burnout that no one talks about as it relates to acceptance.  
  • How you can think about your own mental health as it relates to burnout.
