How Having a Mental Health Difficulty Helped My Business

Oh hey there, listener! It’s been more than a minute!

Now, this is going to be a bit of a different episode, but I found that the podcast gods just wouldn’t leave me alone if I didn’t address this topic. So, somewhere deep down in my perfection-desiring soul, I had to accept that calling and allow this piece of vulnerability out.

But I believe this could just be one of the most important subjects I’ll ever cover on the podcast.

Today, I’ll be going into the heavy topic of how my struggles with mental health in June of 2021 impacted my business.

At that time, I was falling down the deep rabbit hole of trying to figure out whether those struggles were age-related, hormonal, or even postpartum depression. It wasn’t easy to pinpoint the source of my mental health challenges. We were in the midst of a global pandemic, after all.

I was eventually formally diagnosed with an alphabet soup’s worth of conditions, ADHD being among them. This diagnosis forced me to slow down and reflect on my deepest mission and purpose as an entrepreneur, as well as how to make my brand more intentional and aligned to who I truly am and what I stand for.

Listen in and learn the priceless lessons I learned from this life-changing experience about becoming a better business owner and coach, and how to optimize your mental health in order to stay productive and motivated on this exciting journey!
