Burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome rarely appear in isolation—they are often the result of unresolved trauma, fractured self-connection, and years of emotional overcompensation. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with Lisa Skeffington, a multi-award-winning psychotherapist, self-esteem expert, and executive coach with over 25 years of experience, to explore what true healing looks like beyond surface-level solutions.

Lisa shares her deeply personal journey from growing up in a domestically violent home to working in diplomatic and investment banking environments, and ultimately finding her calling in psychotherapy. Together, we discuss why traditional, highly scripted therapy models often fail trauma-impacted individuals, and why a holistic, person-centered approach—one that integrates psychodynamic mentoring, trauma-informed care, and authentic human connection—is essential for burnout recovery, emotional resilience, and sustainable mental wellness.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome are often symptoms of deeper emotional wounds and unresolved trauma
• How high-achieving women unknowingly mask anxiety as ambition, overwork, and people-pleasing
• Why holistic, trauma-informed approaches outperform rigid, one-size-fits-all therapy models
• What psychodynamic mentoring is and how combining modalities accelerates healing and empowerment
• How vulnerability, honest communication, and self-connection are essential for sustainable mental wellness

Lisa Skeffington is the founder of Empowered Momentum, author of From Anxious to Empowered, and a global mentor for women navigating burnout, self-esteem struggles, and identity transitions. Her work helps women stop running from themselves, reconnect with their inner strength, and build lives rooted in authenticity, resilience, and emotional freedom.

Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, for this deeply human conversation on trauma healing, burnout recovery, self-worth, and what it truly means to move from anxiety to empowerment.

Burnout isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a signal that something in your life is out of alignment. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with empowerment psychologist, wellness consultant, and seven-time author Dr. Rosenna Bakari to explore how high-functioning individuals can reclaim their energy, clarity, and purpose by focusing on alignment and self-centeredness rather than external validation.

Dr. Bakari shares insights from her latest book, Seven Exits: Leave Behind What No Longer Serves You, a transformative framework designed especially for high-functioning individuals who appear strong, capable, and successful on the outside, yet feel disconnected, depleted, or unfulfilled on the inside. Together, we unpack why traditional help-seeking models often fail high achievers and how lived experience, self-awareness, and alignment are essential to sustainable well-being and leadership.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why burnout is often a sign of misalignment rather than personal failure, especially for high-functioning individuals
• What self-centering truly means—and how it builds resilience, agency, and emotional wellness without selfishness
• The Seven Exits framework and how releasing patterns like hyper-ego, silence, and stagnant relationships restores clarity and peace
• How alignment and wholeness—not chasing passion or purpose—create sustainable fulfillment and effective leadership
• How to recognize when it’s time to exit a situation with wisdom, self-trust, and emotional empowerment

Dr. Rosenna Bakari helps high-functioning individuals cultivate alignment, self-trust, and personal freedom. Her work blends lived experience, mental wellness, and holistic strategies to guide people toward authentic leadership, self-centered practices, and sustainable well-being.

Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, for a transformative conversation with Dr. Bakari on alignment, self-trust, and reclaiming your power so you can lead, live, and thrive from the inside out.

Marketing can make or break a business—especially in healthcare and service-based professions where trust, timing, and connection matter. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with marketing strategist and Rev Key founder John Sanders to explore how businesses — especially healthcare and service-based professionals — can transform their visibility, conversions, and long-term sustainability through smart, data-driven marketing.

From AI-powered advertising to improving lead follow-up systems, John breaks down the real reasons businesses struggle to grow and how outdated marketing habits can create both financial and psychological stress. Whether you’re a therapist, physician, lawyer, or small business owner, this conversation highlights why modern marketing requires more than a website and a few social posts — it demands strategy, consistency, and a willingness to evolve.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why ineffective marketing creates financial and psychological stress—and how to fix the most common mistakes businesses make with Google Ads and SEO.
• How AI and Performance Max ads can improve visibility across Google, YouTube, Gmail, and Maps, helping practices attract the right clients faster.
• Why lead response time is one of the biggest predictors of revenue, and how a simple system can prevent you from losing potential clients every day.
• The importance of understanding client lifetime value, starting small with ad spend, and scaling only when your systems can support growth.
• Why successful marketing requires a multi-layered approach, including SEO, social media, paid ads, and a responsive internal workflow that nurtures trust.

John Sanders brings years of experience helping therapists, dentists, chiropractors, lawyers, and local service businesses grow with transparent, honest, and data-driven marketing. Through Rev Key, he advocates for strategies that are measurable, ethical, and aligned with real human behavior—not gimmicks or guesswork.

Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, and John Sanders for a grounded and insightful conversation on how AI, smart marketing, and better business systems can reduce stress, improve conversions, and help values-driven professionals thrive in a competitive digital world.
