Stressed, Overwhelmed, & Uncertain: Navigating the Emotional Rollercoaster of Entrepreneurship
Entrepreneurship is a stressful journey, and many of us get stuck in the grind of the day to day. Work and life merge together so that we are always “on” and never at rest. We also deal with many obstacles and challenges that impact our overall mood and confidence that we can succeed. All of this can unfortunately have a negative impact on our mental and physical health.

On the flip side, research shows that when we build time for our mental wellness, build resiliency habits, and ensure we take care of OUR needs, we are actually more productive and successful in the long-run.

This is easier said than done- How do we find the time to take care of ourselves, but still get our business off the ground?

This FREE workshop is designed to equip you with valuable insights and practical tools to navigate the challenges of entrepreneurship without sacrificing your well-being. We will review strategies to create balance in your life and business, such as:

Growing your Emotional Intelligence
Personalizing your Schedule
Incorporating Movement Breaks
Building Support Systems
