Dive into this candid conversation with Stephanie Kaiser, founder of saymore—a virtual community that champions mental wellness. In this episode of The Flourishing Entrepreneur, we peel back the layers of social facades to discuss the real, raw, and often unspoken aspects of mental health. Stephanie shares her journey from a high-pressure finance career to creating a space where people can honestly say they are not okay—and that's perfectly fine.

Key Takeaways:

  1. The Reality Behind 'I'm Fine': Discover the truth that lies behind the common response, "I'm fine," and why it's crucial to address our genuine feelings.

  2. Creating Safe Spaces: Learn about the inception of saymore and how it provides a supportive environment for open discussions about mental health, offering a refuge from the often isolating struggles many face.
