How did Acumen Mindset come about?

Get ready to be inspired! Acumen Mindset sprouted from a small seed, a podcast featuring the incredible mental wellness journey of Shenna Whitley. Every episode was crafted with the intention of giving listeners a glimpse into Shenna's life, offering valuable tips on how to work towards better mental health, and so much more. But soon, Shenna began to receive requests from listeners longing for more. The podcast had grown into something way more profound than she could have ever imagined! She refused to let this opportunity slip and decided to transform Acumen Mindset into a non-profit organization. This story is a testament to the power of passion and perseverance, and we are thrilled to see Acumen Mindset continue to grow and impact more lives. Let's go, Acumen Mindset!
