Podcast: Joel Muise Finds Tranquility With A Digital Startup
The Halifax-based entrepreneur suffered from anxiety as a boy growing up in a small village outside Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. It went untreated for years until he finally asked for help in Grade 12.
Joel eventually made a lasting breakthrough in therapy years later and ultimately left his job as a financial analyst to pursue something more aligned with his values and passions. His startup Tranquility is an online platform that helps people manage anxiety and depression with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
Tranquility’s digital platform has been especially helpful to people during the pandemic when it’s not been easy to access in-person care.
