What if one tiny daily habit could change the way you lead, work, and recover, even in the busiest, loudest moments of event life?

In this episode, we explore the small, practical tools that make wellbeing actually doable, not theoretical, not overwhelming, just real.

Johanna Roodt is a high-energy event leader, wellbeing consultant, and the creator of the first CPD-certified Mental Wellbeing Certification for Event Professionals.

With 15+ years of global event experience, Johanna blends deep industry knowledge with her lifelong dedication to wellbeing.

In this conversation, Johanna and Nika explore:

• the childhood moments that shaped her sense of calm
• burnout, overwhelm, and the first tiny steps toward recovery
• rituals and grounding practices that actually work in high-pressure roles
• the turning points that shaped her career and her wellbeing philosophy
• navigating leadership, boundaries, and sustainable team care
• messy failures, support systems, and “quiet expertise”
• the one small change organisations can make tomorrow to create kinder workplaces
• a simple action listeners can try immediately to protect their mental health.

This episode is honest, energising, and full of small shifts with big impact, for event pros, leaders, and anyone rebuilding their relationship with wellbeing.
