Have you ever wondered how high-performing entrepreneurs manage anxiety and depression, especially in the age of social media?
If so, you're in the right place.
In this episode of the More Than Social podcast, we dive deep with therapist Valerie Martin, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience working with high-performance entrepreneurs.
We cover everything from burnout to structured workdays and how social media impacts mental health.
There are some key insights you will want to take advantage of.
We also got into how biological cycles impact performance. Valerie shared her perspective on how entrepreneurs, particularly women, must be aware of their cycles and adjust accordingly.
One of the key takeaways from our discussion was the importance of being present.
Both Valerie and I talked about the need to live in the moment, understanding that life is not just about climbing the career ladder but also about enjoying the journey.
She highlights the need to balance work with personal life, ensuring that entrepreneurs don't just survive but thrive.
Valerie provides valuable advice on maintaining mental wellness as a high-performing entrepreneur.
She suggests setting clear boundaries, recognizing signs of burnout, and ensuring that personal well-being is not compromised for professional gains.
Remember, even high performers need to pause, rest, and recharge.
