In this intentionally timed Mental Health Awareness Month episode, Barb welcomes Dr. Ashley Smith back to the Constructive Behaviors Podcast for a conversation around mental health, construction culture, and leadership… while simultaneously tying it to the Sticky and Slippery Rungs from Barb’s book, OneLadder to Leadership.
This episode explores:
• the mental load of constantly feeling like you have to prove yourself
• chronic stress, burnout, and impression management
• the pressure many people in construction feel to just “handle it”
• unconscious expectations around toughness and emotional suppression
• and how we can begin redefining strength, resilience, and mental health in the industry
