‘Being mentally well for me means that I have the resources and capacity to deal with whatever is in front of me.’

As a Customer Engagement Communication Manager, Janssen Judge spends her days crafting meaningful content for customers. In her spare time, Janssen finds mindfulness by slowing down and savoring life’s simple joys.

“Pausing in good moments to be present and really savor them bring me mindfulness,” Janssen says.

Whether it’s enjoying a warm cup of coffee, sharing a meal, snuggling with her pets, or taking in a scenic view, small pauses ground her and cultivate presence.

Mental wellness is a priority for Janssen, both professionally and personally.

“Being mentally well for me means that I have the resources and capacity to deal with whatever is in front of me,” she says. “In work, taking breaks, laughing with coworkers, making sure I eat and stay hydrated, and reaching out for support when I’m stressed.”

When she needs to recharge, she turns to two reliable sources: music and movement.

“A good playlist can change my entire mindset. A walk or a yoga class always provides an instant recharge,” she notes.

Janssen credits Wellabe’s culture with helping her stay mentally well. The flexibility to work remotely when needed and a manager who encourages self-care makes a big difference.

“Wellabe is incredibly flexible, and my manager does a great job of encouraging our team to take good care of ourselves and have a sense of humor,” she says. “I also value the chances we have throughout the month to get out of work mode and do things like enjoy a team sponsored lunch or join an Employee Resource Group event.”

Her approach to wellness is about presence and connection.

She suggests:

  • Reach out to someone you trust when you are having a hard time.
  • Stop, take a deep breath, and check in with yourself.
  • Remind yourself that support is available.

Janssen’s story is a reminder that being well on the move doesn’t always mean doing more, it often means doing less, more mindfully. Whether she’s walking to a playlist or pausing to enjoy a quiet moment, she’s creating space for wellness in motion.
