Saúde mental como governança, não apenas autocuidado, com Denise Braga

Mental Health as Governance, Not Just Self-Care Companies invest in financial capital, in human capital, but they don't always invest in preserving the most critical asset of all: the mental capacity of those who make decisions. In this episode of Consense Talks, Anderson interviews Denise Braga, a businesswoman who led a fruit exporting company for over 30 years, experiencing the loss of partners, severe burnout, and septic shock that nearly cost her life. From this experience emerged a dedicated body of work focused on helping leaders preserve what she almost lost. The episode explores how the "knife in the skull" pattern, so common among high-performing leaders, silently operates as a risk factor. The conversation covers the signals the body and mind send before collapse, why they are systematically ignored, and what changes when a leader develops enough self-awareness to recognize their own limitations without compromising who they are. More than a story of overcoming adversity, this episode is a conversation about decision-making quality. What happens to an organization when those at the top chronically operate below their capacity, and why companies that treat leadership mental health as a strategic priority get ahead of those that wait for collapse to act?
