What is the healthy balance between growing your brand and taking care of your mental health as an entrepreneur?
The COVID-19 crisis has put unprecedented strain on Americans, with measurable effects on mental health, including a 1000 percent increase in texts to the federal disaster distress hotline, an increase in alcohol sales, and nearly half of survey respondents agreeing that their mental health has been affected by the pandemic.
