Running a Business Can Run Down Your Mental Health
Did you know there is an inherent connection between entrepreneurship and mental health challenges?
There is!
Entrepreneurs have a higher prevalence of mental health challenges than the general population.
There’s an irony in this: people who are on the energetic, motivated, and creative side are both
1) more likely to be entrepreneurial and
2) more likely to experience strong emotional states…
In fact, in one survey, 49% of the entrepreneurs surveyed reported having a mental health condition, with depression and anxiety being two of the top three.
It’s common for business plans to cover financial, sales, marketing, and operations.
So why not include mental health?
As whole humans who own small businesses, a mental health plan should be part of your business strategy.
With a plan, you will know what to do when the shit hits the fan.
You will know what works–and what doesn't–to support your full CEO-self.
You will have a repertoire of empirically-grounded resources and strategies you can use to address the situation.
But most of all, you can mitigate (most) serious problems with preventative measures.
When your emotional life is cared for, your CEO capacities for
- focus,
- problem-solving,
- creative thinking,
- planning,
- prioritizing,
- and interpersonal skills
can take the fore and you can be your best self in business and in life.
In this virtual retreat, guided by me, a licensed mental health professional, you’ll get tools that are rooted in a holistic approach that, among other things, recognizes the impact of both systems of oppression and spirituality on mental health.
If you are
- A woman business owner who values their mental health
- A self-employed woman who wants to get off the stress hamster wheel
- Contemplating jumping into your side-hustle full-time but don’t want to burn out while doing it.
This in-depth, interactive virtual retreat is for you.
You (and your business) are
Stronger With Support
Running a business is like an emotional rollercoaster.
One minute you’re on the top of the world and the next you want to quit.
You’re isolated and overwhelmed.
Your friends and family don’t get it.
You feel anxious and stressed.
You worry you’re heading for burnout or worse.
You’ve tried all the things–meditation, yoga, essential oils, working out, “clean” eating–and none of it has “worked.”
And sadly, taking time off isn’t on the table right now.
You need your CEO-self to be in good shape in order to run your business.
Good mental health (as defined by you) requires a two-pronged approach: a plan and accountability for implementation.
This live virtual retreat will cover three key areas:
Learn
- Learn about the 7 factors of risk to mental health for women entrepreneurs
- Understand the role of trauma and nervous system regulation and dysregulation in mental health
Reflect
- Map your mental health KPIs (key performance indicators)
- Identify and apply the three principles of stress resilience
Implement
- Draft a mental health plan based on your KPIs
- Understand how to use your plan so it doesn’t just stay in the drawer like your business plan does (oops, did I just say that??)
- Apply different tactics to stay accountable for implementation
Put your CEO-self in the driver's seat.

I'm Shulamit.
I work with women business owners to discover what affects their
mental health & create a plan to deal with it in an era of relentless
stressors that can make you lose your biz shit on the daily.
I get what you’re going through (I’m a business owner myself) and I’m trained to support you (I’m a masters-level, licensed therapist).
For 21+ years I’ve been working in the area of mental health and personal growth. I’ve been self-employed (part-time since 1990 and full-time since 2016). I’m also a trauma survivor with my own, ongoing mental health recovery journey.
Working with me, you will get:
- the benefit of my training and expertise as a mental health professional and certified clinical trauma professional,
- my understanding of the impact of entrepreneurship, spirituality and systems of oppression on mental health, and
- the compassion that comes from working with someone who gets it–who gets both entrepreneurial and mental health struggles.
What To Expect From The Mental Health Plan Virtual Retreat
What This Is
What This Isn't
The pace will be slow and there will be quiet time to facilitate reflection, processing, and connection with self and other.
There will be large group exercises and large and small group discussions where you will get to talk through your plan with peers—business owners just like you who also want to care for their mental health.
It’s reassuring to know you’re not alone.
Get a handle on what’s impacting your mental and emotional wellbeing as an entrepreneur and what you can do about it, so you don't blow up your business when the shit hits the fan.
