Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in self-doubt, or teetering on the edge of burnout? You’re not alone! Come and learn real and relatable tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life and business.

The Thriving Entrepreneur is a mental health workshop created for creatives, freelancers, and small business owners who are juggling passion, purpose, and pressure. We’ll explore the real-life signs of anxiety and burnout (hint: it’s not just being tired) and how your self-worth can get tangled in what you do.

You’ll walk away with:

🌟 A better understanding of the difference between stress, anxiety, and burnout

🌟 Tools to stay in your window of tolerance and out of panic mode

🌟 Strategies to build internal self-worth, not just “other-esteem”

🌟 Mental health practices that support creativity, clarity, and sustainability

Whether you’re a solopreneur, designer, coach, or creative professional, this workshop will help you protect your peace while doing what you love.
