Natasha Zanolin, MBA. I struggled with an eating disorder for thirty-four years. I navigated two divorces. I raised two children through their own mental health and addiction crises. And somewhere in all of that, I built a career in executive leadership, became Executive Director of NIED (National Initiative for Eating Disorders), and wrote my first book, How to Make Life Your Gym.

I have spent over twenty-five years in high tech, including more than fifteen in management, and I hold an MBA along with an advanced change management certification (LCeX-P, Leanova Academy). Much of that career was privately shaped by my own illness and my family's. I know what it costs to lead while struggling, and what it takes for organizations to make that less true for the people in them.

I speak to audiences who need to hear one simple truth: mental illness is not a moral failing. It is an illness like any other, and it deserves the same research, compassion, and treatment we give to physical disease. There should be no shame in being sick.

I speak to two audiences: people in the thick of their own crisis, and the leaders trying to build workplaces and communities where that doesn't have to be a secret. The work is the same. Only the audience changes.

I'd love to hear from you.
