In a world that glorifies hustle culture and celebrates the “just push through” mentality, conversations about self-worth, rest, and emotions often get labeled as weakness. But as Theresa Cantley and mental health therapist and speaker Deanna Pelley remind us in this powerful episode of The C-Suite Mentor, the real strength comes not from grinding yourself into the ground – but from embracing the gift of being human and knowing when to ask for help. This episode is the encouragement you need to keep going.
