Join us for an honest and practical conversation about the mental health challenges entrepreneurs face — including burnout, anxiety, decision fatigue, and isolation — and how to overcome them. You’ll learn proven tools and strategies to strengthen your mental fitness, maintain clarity under pressure, and create a healthier relationship with your business. Whether you're scaling your startup, managing a team, or launching your first idea, this session will equip you with insights to navigate the highs and lows of entrepreneurship with confidence and clarity.
