May was Mental Health Awareness Month, and recently MEB employees joined our Wellness Director, Sarah Kert, for a Lunch & Learn on a topic that affects all of us: stress.
When people think about mental health, they often think about crisis situations. In reality, stress and resilience show up every day—in our energy, recovery, focus, mood, relationships, productivity, and ability to maintain healthy habits.
One of the key takeaways: resilience isn’t about avoiding stress or handling everything perfectly. It’s about recognizing stress, recovering from it, and continuing to move forward when life gets busy, messy, or overwhelming.
We discussed:
• How stress impacts physical and mental health
• The role of sleep, movement, recovery, and nutrition in building resilience
• How chronic stress affects energy, focus, and performance
• Practical strategies for building realistic, sustainable habits that work in real life—not just ideal conditions
Most importantly, we discussed how to stop waiting for the “perfect time” and start building habits that support health and wellbeing, even during stressful seasons of life.
We’re grateful to partner with organizations like MEB that recognize wellness as more than a benefit. Supporting employee wellbeing helps create stronger teams, safer workplaces, and healthier communities.
