Mental Health for Founders 🚀🙂

hi everyone! I wanted to share something that might resonate with many of you.
A friend of mine is conducting customer development interviews with startup founders and small business owners for a project: a mental health service explicitly tailored for founders.
We all know how challenging the entrepreneurial journey can be—burnout, anxiety, unstable self-esteem, insomnia, and decision fatigue are every day and shared struggles. Often, general therapists and coaches don't fully understand founders' unique pressures, and support from loved ones can sometimes fall short.
Having experienced some of these challenges, I'm excited to assist her with this project and share it with you all. The project is still in the research phase and is far from commercialization, so your insights could make a significant difference!
If you have dealt with mental struggles (even burnout, anxiety, insomnia, etc.) during your entrepreneurial journey—or if these challenges have impacted your business—and are open to a 40-60-minute interview, please feel free to reach out to me privately. I will provide you with her email address for contacting her about an online interview.
If you know someone who might benefit from or contribute to this, please share this message with them. I appreciate your support, and here's to a successful and balanced new business year!

Thank you for your post. I’ll share it with my boss, hoping for his mental well-being—and that he stops tormenting me.
