Why I Started This Newsletter

Anyone alive in/ 2023 is feeling more anxiety than every before. The world feels crazy to all of us. We’ve come out of Covid that has affected many people’s mental health. And now we’re entering wars, bank runs, a recession, and more.

It feels upsetting right now. And I’ve been here before: as a business owner, I’ve dealt with some very tough times in the past. I’m a busy person and don’t have a lot of time to deal with stress effectively, and so over time I’ve tried and tested a number of ways to keep a positive mental outlook.

I created this newsletter to pass on my learnings and learn new strategies with you all. This is my post on beehiiv where the newsletter will migrate over to. I started this newsletter on another platform 3 months ago, and 900 people read me on there each week to stay afloat during these tough times.

I hope you’ll join this community and can’t wait to start learning with you.
