Welcome to Bettermental’s first episode! Mike and Leanna are excited to be back recording together again in person. In this episode, they introduce a three-part mini-series on stress, exhaustion, and burnout.
Starting with stress, they dive into exactly what it is, what it looks like for business owners (and themselves!), and several in-depth tips for recognizing and managing it. You’ll leave this episode with questions to ask yourself, strategies like brain dumps, worry lists, and gut checks to try, and a list of further resources to check out.
In this episode, we discuss:
- “So what exactly IS it [stress]?” [2:00]
- “Some examples of stimuli as a business owner…” [07:46]
- “Tips for you to manage your stress...first is, do your best to identify it” [17:29]
- “It’s good to have symptoms of stress...keep them in mind (Tip #2) [20:38]
- “Once you have a better idea...of what kind of feeling it is...then you can start to find the source of the stress (Tip #3).” [23:12]
- “Quick pro tip if you’re listening that you can use if you’re beyond overwhelmed…” [30:32]
