Lisa:

Hello & welcome to Wired to Connect, the startup mental health podcast that keeps you going every week, with our easily digestible lessons, skills, & stories, that you can put into practice immediately. I’m your host, your coach, your teacher, Lisa Birnbaum; I’m also a social worker, a therapist, & the Co-Founder of Strengths Squared: a therapy, coaching, & consulting practice, for startup founders & their teams, that I started with my wife & Co-Founder in 2021. The learnings we are sharing here, come from a combination of the lived experiences of the startup founders & startup team members we’ve worked with over the years, from our own lived experiences, & from research-backed strategies, too. And we are so excited to be able to share these insights here, with all of you now, about what it takes to develop, build, and sustain a mentally healthy startup culture. If you’re listening to this trailer in real time, our first episode will drop on Tuesday, June 14, 2022; and if you’re listening to this trailer after that, our first episode will already be available for you. You can access Wired to Connect, for free, on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you’re listening now. Don’t forget to tap or click on the button labeled with the plus sign (“+”),-“Subscribe”,-“Follow”-or whatever word your podcast app uses to indicate you’d like to know when our episodes are released. We are really looking forward to connecting with all of you, as we will come to appreciate that we are all Wired-to-Connect.
