102 Mental Health, Resilience, and Dispelling the Myth of Work-Life Balance with Edy Greenblatt, Shaesta Waiz, Mandy Hickson, Nikki Stone

When Women Fly

This compilation episode is for mothers, daughters, sisters, friends, and women everywhere who are challenged by work, life, and everything in between. It’s for women pushing to make a difference amid pressure and self-doubt and for those who need support along the way. It’s for anyone who has felt vulnerable but still found the courage to push forward. It is for you.
In this special episode, we are featuring four inspiring guests who talk about creating resilience in a high-pressure world, the need to pause and focus on mental health, and how to find happiness and balance amid life’s most difficult challenges.
Dr. Edy Greenblatt, a Harvard-trained educator, transformational coach, entrepreneur, and aerial artist, talks about the myth of work-life balance and how to handle the things that restore and deplete us.
Shaesta Waiz, the first female certified civilian pilot from Afghanistan and the youngest woman to fly solo around the world in 2017, on the need to pause, regroup, and reset after big accomplishments instead of rushing to the next big thing, as well as eliminating the stigma around mental health in aviation.
Mandy Hickson, motivational speaker, entrepreneur, and former royal Air Force Pilot of the fast-jet Tornado, discusses her #1 tool for dealing with high-pressure situations and the importance of acting how we want to feel.
Nikki Stone, the first American inverted aeriel skier to win gold at the Olympics, talks about the false sense of security that accomplishments bring and how true happiness must be found in all you do – even in moments of failure.
This episode challenges the bounds of what’s expected from us and shines a light on what we all bring to the table. I hope it helps you find balance, reflect, and take inventory of the strength you carry every day, no matter the circumstances.
