Leia shares with us the importance of reflection and mental health as she tells us about her transitions from home to college and living in various different cities throughout her career. She shows us the importance of friendship, and how working with friends can be tricky. Don't be afraid to lean on your support systems (family, friends, university) during trying times. She's worked for agencies, corporate, startups, and now a non-profit that really aligns with her values. Leia shows us how to grind like an entrepreneur while also staying aware of your mental health and riding the waves of life. She's had to un-learn and learn a lot of new things in many new spaces. Tip: Therapy is awesome, give it a try!
