**content warning: we talk about suicidal ideation and how common it can be among entrepreneurs. If you're sensitive to that, proceed with caution. If you need help please dial 988**

INCREDIBLE. That's the word I've got for today's convo with Shulamit Ber Levtov, The Entrepreneur's Therapist. This one goes deep into the emotional rollercoaster of running a business, including the importance of self-care, vulnerability, and seeking support. If you're ready to get real about the mental health struggles entrepreneurs face, we'll show you how to navigate those dark moments with tenderness and care.

And a reminder: I'm glad you're here. I'm grateful every day you stay.

Can't-Miss Moments from This Episode:

• Two words (and a tiny mindset shift) to make it easier to have those sweaty, difficult conversations we all dread...
  
  
• My FAVORITE guest phrase, potentially ever: go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut (hear what inspired Shula to throw that out, to my utter delight)...
  
  
• What to do when your boss is a freaking jerk (and you happen to be the boss)...
  
  
• Two words (and a tiny mindset shift) to help you have hard conversations with a lot less discomfort and a lot more ease...
  
  
• Normalizing the dark thoughts: so many entrepreneurs struggle in silence, and Shula offers a powerful reframe that might just save your (or someone you love's) life...

Bonus: tune in for a surprise cameo by Minnie the Evil Office Cat.
