1. Stress management for business owners (Part 1)

Bettermental

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]
