In this somewhat personal episode, Fiona chats with her brother, Professor Eóin Killackey - a clinical psychologist and researcher at Orygen who specialises in youth mental health and employment outcomes. While Eóin isn't a small business owner, his insights on managing uncertainty, the relationship between work and mental wellbeing, and learning to switch off are invaluable for entrepreneurs. 

They discuss the science behind why purposeful work matters for mental health, practical strategies for dealing with constant stress and uncertainty, and how to recognise when you need professional help. 

Eóin also shares his approach to maintaining boundaries in meaningful work and offers coping mechanisms for those feeling overwhelmed by responsibility. 

A conversation filled with practical wisdom for anyone juggling business pressures with mental wellbeing.
