Managing Mental Health as a Business Owner- Issue 48 is Live!

Welcome to the September special edition magazine issue! We’ve been working on this magazine issue for months and we’re so excited to share it with you because it’s focus is on a topic that isn’t talked about enough: mental health. As business owners, it’s easy to get slammed with feelings like anxiety, depression, or impostor syndrome. So, this month we have three ladies who have very generously agreed to share their stories with you about the challenges they’ve faced through their own mental health journeys. It’s real stories like these that help us all keep a healthy perspective on business ownership and life.

Here’s a look at what’s inside this month’s magazine:
Read about the unexpected doubts and challenges Meg has had to face while growing her stationery business into a brick & mortar storefront. Meg’s story is honest, raw, and she’s openly sharing how she’s handled the struggles and mental strain that she’s faced while growing her company.
Read Mary Kate’s story about having to close down her business overnight after a mental health crisis.
Read Kelly’s advice for learning how to work with your mind and body. Kelly owns two businesses, has a chronic illness, and has to deal with anxiety on a regular basis. As a long-time business owner, she’s sharing how she was able to structure her life and business in a way that suits her needs and lessens the mental and physical strain.
