Hello, I'm Eric Anderson and welcome to YXE Underground. If you are a long time listener of the podcast, thank you!

If this is your first time listening, welcome. YXE Underground is a local, independent podcast here in Saskatoon that shines a light on people who are doing incredible things but are flying under the radar. 

I am so excited that the wonderful Lisa Greig has joined us every month for Walking With Lisa episodes. 

In the past few seasons, we've done several episodes focusing on mental health and they have become some of the most listened to episodes in the six seasons of the podcast. It got me thinking that it would be great if we could do a quick mental health check in every month and luckily Lisa said yes to the pitch. 

Lisa Greig is a mother of two young children, a social worker who is a few months into a new role with Saskatoon's Rock and Bloom, the author of a best selling children's book entitled 'Scream! Shout! Let's Feel Our Grief Out' and a trusted mental health advocate within our community.

She has a true gift of explaining mental health issues and sharing insights in a clear, honest and compassionate way and I am thrilled that she will be sharing her wisdom with us this season. 

The premise of these Walking With Lisa episodes is simple. Lisa and I will go for a walk and I will start our conversation with this question: "What's on your mind, Lisa?"

In this 'Walking With Lisa' episode, Lisa turns her attention to the workplace. She discusses the importance of open and honest communication in a workplace culture and why it is important for organizations to invest time and energy in the well-being of employees. I always learn so much from Lisa but this conversation REALLY struck a chord as I have been doing some coaching exercises at my work recently and I am grateful to be part of an organization that invests in people. I think you'll have so many takeaways from this episode!

These Walking With Lisa episodes will continue next season, which drops in September, and I am grateful to Lisa for sharing her insights and wisdom and especially time with YXE Underground listeners. Listen to YXE Underground wherever you find your favourite podcast including Apple Podcasts and Spotify. You can Follow YXE Underground on your favourite podcast app so that you won't miss a single Lisa episode and feel free to leave a 5-star review if you like what you hear. 

Thanks so much for listening and have a great summer!Cheers...Eric
