Leadership doesn’t just begin with how you treat others, it starts with how you treat yourself. In this episode, LIFT Intern Sean Lecathelinais shares why caring for your mental health is a cornerstone of positive, respectful leadership.

Sean dives into how being drained, distracted, or neglecting your wellbeing makes it almost impossible to lead with kindness, empathy, and focus. He also highlights the small, everyday habits that can protect your mental health and help you consistently show up as the best version of yourself.

We explore a common tension, the perception that talking about values, emotions, or self-reflection isn’t always seen as “masculine.” Sean shares whether he’s felt that pressure, and how he’s learned to navigate it while staying true to himself.

Tune in now to hear Sean’s perspective on building resilience, balance, and stronger leadership from the inside out.
