Ep 230 - The Co-Founder of Neolth on Finding Your Path After Feeling Lost
Are you feeling a bit lost at the moment, peers? Maybe you don’t know where you’re meant to go next or what this moment right here is even leading to.
This feeling can ring especially true as an entrepreneur.
In today’s episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, we hear the journey of Dr. Katherine Grill, the CEO and co-founder of Neolth, a technology company that provides personalised mental health support to teens through a self-guided platform. While it sounds super impressive (and it is), Dr. Grill never envisioned herself in tech. In fact, she started out studying the creative art of painting.
Hear how Dr. Grill moved from painting, to art therapy, to being her own boss and helping countless teens with their mental health, in this week’s ep.
Dr. Katherine Grill:
What did you witness growing up, peers? There have been studies conducted which show that the emotional support a child receives during the first three and a half years of life has an effect on education, social life and romantic relationships even 20 or 30 years later.
While today’s guest felt emotionally supported by her single mother and grandparents, things weren’t always easy growing up in a low socio-economic home. It was through seeing the stigma of mental health in her own family – and in her work down the line – that led Dr. Katherine Grill to co-found Neolth.
Now, Neolth provides personalised mental health support to teens through a self-guided platform, aiming to destigmatise the taboo.
In this episode of Peers2Peers, powered by Shopify, Dr. Katherine Grill shares how she discovered the right path for her, the misconceptions of being a solo entrepreneur, and why the value of education was never lost on her.
