Lunch & Learn: It’s Okay Not To Be Okay: Navigating Perfectionism And Resilience With Julie Hang, PsyD, MBA, And Karen Owens, PsyD

There’s a certain pressure to perform in the world of entrepreneurship and academia. We are told to “hustle harder,” but at what cost to our mental well-being?

Join Julie Hang, PsyD, MBA, and Karen Owens, PsyD, for a conversation on mental health, identity, and the psychological hurdles of the startup journey. As Staff Therapists at the Drexel Counseling Center, this session will be dedicated to unmasking the pressures of success.

Dr. Hang brings her extensive expertise in supporting students and professionals as they navigate life transitions, identity development, and the unique stressors of high-achievement environments.

Similarly, Dr. Owens has experienced a multitude of environments, such as college campuses, private practice, jail, homeless shelters, and a community organization in Kensington, allowing her to offer knowledge through a multifaceted lens.

During this interactive discussion, they will explore how to identify patterns throughout one’s life, empowering identity development, the multiculturalism of first- and second-generation experiences, overcoming impostor syndrome, and social inequalities.

Whether you are currently building a venture, leading a student organization, or navigating the complexities of your degree, this session offers a supportive space to acknowledge that your well-being is your greatest professional asset.
