Research suggests around 40% of people are #introverts, so it’s essential that the #workspace offers a refuge. The answer lies in modularity and flexibility - furniture and spaces that can adapt by tasks, by time, by venue, and by user.

I love woody, earthy essential oils that ground/calm the nervous system. I especially love Vetiver when blended with Lavender and forest scents of Cedarwood and Juniper. Ideal for deep sleep.Learn more about Vetiver Essential Oil at @lovingessentialoils.eo bit.ly/3VlSwI9

So important! Self-awareness is everything, Brian. I needed this reminder as well, thx. 🙂

Talking about clear boundaries for #resilientleadership in today’s #mentalhealth call ⬇️ “I’d estimate at least half of my frustrations with others are actually frustrations with myself for failing to set clear boundaries and stand by them." -

Right?!? Grateful that there’s a growing number of us working together to change this outdated framework. Your mental health and well-being is your foundation, folks! #foundermentalhealth

The thing I find interesting about the debate around where to start a company is it never centers on health (mental, physical, or spiritual) it always centers on money (access, availability, and network)

Yes, please! Setting clear expectations and boundaries around our rest/off time is good for our mental health. Come on let’s do this! Auto-responder for text messages ✅

We need away messages but for texts.
I need to let people know I’m not ignoring them, just overwhelmed and will respond in 1-3 business days.

There’s such a need for safe spaces to talk about the emotional load, isolation, risk & vulnerabilities of being a founder. Thankfully I’m seeing more & more of this type of support! I’m also currently enrolling group participants for my 2023 #foundersupportgroup starting 1/19.
Quote Tweet
Is there a safe space for female founders raising capital to talk to other female founders raising capital about life, business, etc? It’s such an emotional process and I wish I had a support group I could trust with my emotions and business stuff.

Personal connection is an under appreciated mental wellness technique. Yet it’s the top technique used by Navy SEALs and F-15 pilots and Super Bowl champs and serially successful entrepreneurs in the app. Grab the app for a ton of simple ideas for more connection.

Women: continue to take up all the space you need.
Some will call you names bc you dared to be bold, ask questions, and push back on what you saw as a problem.
The only way we could affect change is to answer the calling, and continue to break down barriers along the way.

Responsible for being the psychological and physical health of employees. How cool would that be? :) Imagine the dividends that would pay.
