- Defining boundaries that protect your mental health & sticking to them
- Having strategies to deal with the days or weeks when everything seems to go wrong
- Creating contingency plans & diversifying your sources of income so you know you can weather any storm
- Feeling confident making decisions for your business
- Knowing your value & trusting that it’s enough
Introducing the new & improved Mental Health Resilience Program

Because we know that as women entrepreneurs you have continued to face adversity, challenges, pivots, and opportunities this year. And we want to support you with the tools you need to support a resilient mindset, business, leadership approach, and financial strategy.
