Mental Health & Self-Care Management for Entrepreneurs
Entrepreneurship can be empowering but it can also take a toll on your mental and emotional well-being. The pressure to perform, the long hours, and the weight of constant decision-making often lead to burnout, isolation, and stress that goes unspoken.
Join us on Saturday, August 16 for a meaningful Lunch & Learn focused on mental health and wellness for entrepreneurs. This session will feature two powerful fireside discussions along with couple of inspiring presentations from esteem guest speakers:
Speakers:
Karisha Duncan, Co-Founder - All Blk Market
Dani Chang, Registered Psychotherapist
Christene Lewis, Community Leadership & Inclusion Coach
Troy Crossfield, Founder, Iron Sharpens Iron
Tamara Henningham, Relationship Therapist
Lincoln Alexander Estridge, Accountability Coach
Kimberly A. Beckles, Founder, Sapphenix
Together, they’ll explore how to protect your peace while building your business, navigate the emotional highs and lows of entrepreneurship, and embrace strategies for sustainable success that don’t come at the cost of your well-being.
Whether you’re in the early stages or deep into your journey, this conversation is a reminder that you are not alone and your mental health matters.
