Ep 34 | Balancing Business, Babies, and Burnout: Naomi’s Inspiring Story

Touched Out!

Welcome to Episode 34 of Touched Out!: A Mental Health and Parenting Support Podcast!

In this episode, I sit down with Naomi, a passionate entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and mother, to explore her remarkable journey from a high-pressure finance career to building a life aligned with her values. Naomi shares how she embraced change amidst the chaos of pregnancy, COVID-19, and mental health challenges, creating opportunities for parents through her business ventures, including Our Gypsy Collection and a talent agency designed to provide flexible work.

Join us as Naomi opens up about:

• Leaving a Finance Career to Build a Life of Passion: Why she chose a spiritual, creative path over a corporate career and how her ventures reflect her personal growth.
• Navigating Mental Health Diagnoses: Her experiences with anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and major depressive disorder, and the challenges women face in receiving proper diagnosis and care.
• Motherhood Amidst Adversity: From pregnancy complications to the joy of motherhood, Naomi shares how she coped with fears of miscarriage and found strength through community.
• Mental Health Advocacy and Innovation: How Naomi is breaking stigmas with ideas like home birth-friendly Airbnbs and leading fundraisers for the Black Dog Institute.

Through her candid storytelling, Naomi reminds us of the importance of empathy, resilience, and supportive communities in managing life's toughest challenges. Whether you're navigating mental health struggles, balancing family life, or building a business, this episode offers insights and encouragement to keep moving forward.
