Self-Care as a Leadership Strategy with BetterHelp's Haesue Jo

Entreprenista

“You're pushing yourself beyond what you feel is comfortable, which means you're gonna have chapters of discomfort or feeling like, ‘I'm not really sure if I'm there yet. And sometimes that's true. Sometimes you're not there yet. It's good to tune into that because then you know where you should be focusing to improve.”

In this episode of Entreprenista, we sat down with Haesue Jo, Head of Clinical Operations for the world’s largest therapy service, online mental health platform BetterHelp. Haesue is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and in her role at BetterHelp, she oversees a team of therapists to ensure the delivery of high-quality mental health services and liaises between the clinical and technical teams to enhance the platform's capabilities with expert mental health expertise. She shows a true commitment to making mental health services accessible and affordable and continues to advocate for authenticity and self-care not only in her professional role but in her personal life too. Tune in to hear what Haesue told us about her pillars of wellness, the healing power of nature, and why research is so important when selecting the right therapist for you.

We talked about:

• It’s totally normal to end up on a completely different career path than you intended (05:33)
• The path that took Haesue from traditional therapy to her role with BetterHelp (07:34)
• The importance of looking after your own mental health and avoiding compassion fatigue (15:45)
• How online therapy benefits female entrepreneurs (24:11)
• Haesue’s recommendation for founders experiencing imposter syndrome (28:42)
