In this episode of Let’s Talk, Coach Che Marville sits down with Harriet Ekperigin, an extraordinary leader whose journey from mental health nurse in the UK to Vice President of People Success and Transformation in Canada reveals what it truly means to lead with empathy, strategy, and soul.

What begins as a reflection on childhood memories in Nigeria quickly unfolds into a wide-ranging and candid conversation about burnout, identity, and the future of mental health in Canada. Harriet shares how her near-fatal health crisis forced her to reevaluate success, reclaim boundaries, and prioritize well-being, not just as a leader, but as a mother, partner, and woman.

Together, they explore:
– The invisible burden of caregiving and high performance
– Why cultural stigma delays mental health treatment
– The long tail of the pandemic on youth and working parents
– How technology is reshaping social skills and connection
– The importance of teaching children resilience and emotional literacy
– And what it means to show up entirely as yourself, especially in leadership

This conversation is bold, honest, and filled with the kind of truth that changes how you think, lead, and live.
