In the past decade the number of people struggling with mental illness in the Western world has more than doubled. So far, campaigns to reduce stigma, increase access to treatment and to upskill members of the public have failed to swell the tide of individuals succumbing to a life full of pain, fear and relentless nothingness. As those individuals struggling to find a semblance of light in an otherwise dark existence tumble ever further down the rabbit hole, the cost to their health not to mention, societies purse-strings, increases exponentially. Katie shares insight from both her own personal experiences and those of her clients as she makes the case for entrepreneurship as the silver bullet in the fight against an ever-increasing mental health crisis. As a psychologist turned business coach, she reveals the often-ignored truths about why mental illness occurs as well as the very real opportunity which only entrepreneurship provides to create a life full of freedom, purpose and joy for all. Katie continually strives to turn science into simple, actionable steps everyone can use to build the life of their dreams so that they can experience the reality they truly deserve. It’s time to discover whether entrepreneurship is the missing link in your quest to building a life full of everlasting fulfilment.
