Entrepreneurship is among the most stressful endeavors you can pursue because it requires you to manage not only your own emotions, but others’ feelings and behaviors on a daily basis. From financial challenges to choice-making concerns, you often face high-stress situations that can leave you feeling beat up and uninspired.

This course teaches you targeted strategies for self-care and wellness, starting with a comprehensive inventory of your whole self—personally, and as a business owner, parent, partner, friend, and community member.
You will learn techniques for how to stop absorbing stressors, manage challenging situations, build long-term self-care strategies for all areas of your life, and track your progress through a series of somatic and emotional self-evaluations. This course gives you the opportunity to invest in yourself so you can build a more grounded, inspired, and sustainable career as a business owner.
