More Than Hustle: Protecting Your Mental Health While Building
This special Mental Health Month event will bring together founders, aspiring founders, and those passionate about entrepreneurship for an open and honest conversation about the mental and emotional realities of building something from the ground up.
Hosted by Sonia Kaurah, Founder & CEO of Tala Thrive, alongside Utkarsh Narang, Executive Coach, the session will provide a safe, supportive, and relaxed space where participants can share experiences, gain insights, and explore practical strategies for sustaining their wellbeing while navigating the challenges of entrepreneurship.
The discussion will touch on key themes, including:
Burnout and boundaries
Emotional resilience in the face of startup pressures
Mental health as a success metric
Redefining productivity and performance in a sustainable way
Mindfulness and grounding practices for day-to-day resilience
The event will be intentionally casual, blending light storytelling, open Q&A, and guided practices to help participants walk away with not just inspiration, but actionable tools for protecting their mental health.
