Mentally Chill

Welcome to your safe space to be messy, weird, dark, nervous, and excited! The purpose of "Mentally Chill" is to promote mental health awareness and normalize the highs and lows of life. We're spreading awareness one story at a time from real people with real struggles. Additionally, this is a place to get the inside scoop on mental health resources (therapy, medication, etc.), and find out what it's really like to ask for help. Also, we laugh a lot. Because life is hard, but it's also quite funny. Thank you for choosing to be here, you are where you need to be.

In the 3rd episode of the Mentally Chill, we're joined by my former colleague / close friend Petey Dandini! As a Sales Manager and Orangetheory coach, he walks us through his weight loss journey over the last few years. The rollercoaster ride of losing 130+ lb, running the Boston Marathon, gaining some weight back, and all the highs and lows in between. We discuss society's toxic relationship with the number on the scale and how to practice a healthier approach to fitness/weight loss.

$1M ARR, Rookie of the Year, President's Club, Account Executive turned Sales Manager in a little over a year - Petey gives us insight into his sales journey. He discusses his struggles with maintaining his mental health in the demanding world of sales; we also offer tips on setting better boundaries between work life / personal life. I'm so happy you're here, stay a while!
