Mental Health, Work-Life Balance & the Myth of “Having It All” (Part 2)

Mischa Zverev & Shanka Jayasinha Season 1 Episode 9

In the second part of their deep dive into mental health, Mischa and Shanka explore how pressure, purpose, and balance shape both performance and happiness. From growing up with little to losing deals worth millions, they share how setbacks can fuel resilience—and why even success can feel overwhelming.
They discuss:
• Why staying busy and having purpose can protect your mental health.
• How “work-life balance” looks different for athletes, entrepreneurs, and families.
• The danger of turning every feeling into a diagnosis.
Plus, in The Million Dollar Question, Mischa opens up about the personal sacrifices behind his career—and what he regrets most.
