Welcome back Rebels!

It’s Ngozi here, and this episode The Wellbeing Rebellion is a special one. For the first time, I’m taking a step back from our usual discussions on workplace well-being to introduce myself and my journey to you.

I’ll share the deeply personal and candid story of how I came to co-create Aurora with Obehi, and why our mission to promote mental health in the workplace is so close to my heart.

Expect a raw and vulnerable dive into my experiences with mental health challenges and why I am driven to ensure everyone can have fulfilling and healthy work environments.

Join me in this unusual episode as I open up about my past, my aspirations, and the transformative experiences that shape my advocacy today.
