Disclaimer: While the tools shared in this episode are for educational purposes, this episode should not be used as a substitute for prioritizing your own mental health journey. These techniques are broad for the sake of our audience, and it is essential to gain the personal, specific help you need. If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please call the National Suicide Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. In this episode of My Rough Draft Podcast, we are talking with licensed associate professional counselor, Victoria Glover, on how to prioritize your mental health as an entrepreneur, content creator, influencer, creative or working professional!    Building your brand and business can often come with stress, fear, anxiety, and imposter syndrome. But the fear, anxiety, and depression you're experiencing can also be a symptom of unresolved trauma. Today Victoria and I talk about why entrepreneurs can be subject to more triggers and deal with more mental health issues. We also share practical tools, resources, and exercises to heal, learn your triggers, and prioritize your mental health on a daily basis!  Youtube version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EYfmhX9C0U&t=2778s Timestamps  00:00 Introduction  04:00 The reality of entrepreneurship and my mental health journey  09:00 Why we struggle more with mental health issues when building or starting something new  16:00 How to structure and organize your day to avoid burnout  22:20 Understanding your triggers when putting yourself out there  30:40 How Victoria prioritizes her health as a 9-5preneur and therapist  33:00 How to deal with a lack of support in your business  37:10 Tools to use in the moment of an anxiety attack or depressive wave  42:08 The rhythm tapping exercise   45:49 More on Victoria's brand, podcast, and therapy practice   Here are Victoria Glover's links!  The Victorious Counselor Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1729916 Email: [email protected]  Website: https://www.worthwisdomwellness.com/vglover Instagram: https://instagram.com/thevictoriouscounselor Facebook: https://facebook.com/thevictoriouscounselor Twitter: https://twitter.com/counselorvrg Link to our first interview with Victoria - https://anchor.fm/myroughdraft/episodes/Interview-with-Victoria--Licensed-Associate-Professional-Counselor--Mental-Health--Career-Setbacks--Toxic-Relationships---Celibacy-e12id0a  Here are my links!   My Rough Draft Podcast: https://anchor.fm/myroughdraft Email: [email protected]  Website: https://melaniechristina.org My Consulting Agency (Career Coaching, Business Consulting, & Project Management) : https://workredefinedconsulting.com Instagram : https://instagram.com/_melaniechristina Facebook : @Melaniechristina.org Twitter: @_melchristina
