In this week’s episode, the Lautners sit down with Colleen Pelly, founder of The Linchpin Co., a company focused on building healthier, more human-centered workplaces! Colleen brings a wealth of insight on the intersection of mental health and the work environment, drawing from her experience as a small business owner, mental health advocate, and mom navigating postpartum life. She dives into what’s broken in the way most companies approach mental well-being, why burnout and disengagement are at an all-time high, and the common misconceptions organizations have when trying to support employee mental health. Colleen shares her perspective on psychological safety, what it really means, and how leaders can begin to foster it within their teams, as well as how redefining your strengths can help you thrive both at work and at home. She opens up about the tools and daily habits that keep her grounded, the importance of boundaries in a world where we’re constantly reachable, and how small, intentional moments can make a lasting impact.
