216: Mental Health at Work with Megan Hammes

216: Mental Health at Work with Megan Hammes

What if we thought about mental health the same way we think about physical health?
That's the question at the heart of this week's conversation with Megan Hammes, founder of Hammes Homestead and Consulting, workplace well-being expert, and long-time listener of The Found Podcast.

Megan brings over 20 years of experience in employee health and wellbeing management, and in this episode, she shares her personal journey from being on the team at a large organization to starting her own business after the pandemic. Her story is both deeply personal and highly relevant for ambitious women, entrepreneurs, and leaders navigating how to care for themselves and their teams.

Together we talk about:
✨ The slow, intentional process of leaving a place you love to start something new
✨ Why mental health deserves the same attention as physical health and how to talk about it
✨ The reality that 1 in 5 adults will experience a mental health challenge in any given year, and what that means for the workplace
✨ Why social connections are the most powerful thing you can do for your health
✨ How redefining success and leaning into your strengths can lead to more joy in life and business

This is a conversation for anyone who's ever felt stretched too thin, wondered how to balance ambition with well-being, or wanted to better support themselves and others at work.
