Building Better Mental Health Support with Angela Mancini of La Luna Counseling & The Drop In Nest

In this episode of Grit Won't Quit, Tom sits down with Angela Mancini, founder of La Luna Counseling & Wellness and The Drop In Nest, for a conversation about mental health, entrepreneurship, and building support systems that people truly need. After experiencing postpartum anxiety and depression herself, Angela was inspired to create La Luna Counseling & Wellness, a practice built around helping people feel seen, supported, and comfortable asking for help. Since launching in 2022, La Luna has expanded to multiple locations while continuing to grow its client-centered approach to care. Tom and Angela also dive into her newest venture, The Drop In Nest, a virtual urgent care concept for mental health designed to help people connect with support immediately instead of waiting days or weeks for an appointment. They discuss how conversations around mental health have evolved, the importance of recognizing when everyday life is being impacted, and the challenges of starting a second business while continuing to grow the first. This episode is a real conversation about burnout, healing, entrepreneurship, and creating spaces where people can get help when they need it most.
