Some of the strongest leaders are fighting battles no one sees.

In this episode of Ask Mrs. K, Kay Matthews opens an honest conversation about leadership and mental health. Being the person everyone depends on while privately navigating anxiety, depression, and emotional exhaustion.

This conversation is for CEOs, managers, team leaders, mothers, and caregivers who carry responsibility without always having space to rest.

In this episode, we explore: • What it means to lead while struggling mentally • Why high-functioning depression is more common in leadership than we admit • When leadership quietly becomes survival instead of service • How vulnerability builds stronger, not weaker, leaders • Why asking for help does not mean losing authority

This is not about having it all together. It’s about leading with authenticity, awareness, and humanity.

Welcome to Ask Mrs. K, a space where real conversations happen.

From my couch, where shoes are optional and good energy is always welcome, we talk about everyday life. How to lead with purpose. How supporting meaningful causes creates real impact. And how to build a business that aligns with who you are.

This podcast is also about awareness.About uplifting maternal and mental health.About holding space for leaders, caregivers, and change makers who carry responsibility while staying human.

This is not about perfection. It’s about presence, honesty, and growth.

I’m Mrs. K, and this is Ask Mrs. K.
