It’s essential for all women entrepreneurs to keep their stress under control. Pushing yourself too hard can have disastrous consequences on your health. Three years ago, Lioness’s Co-Founder, Natasha Zena, was sent to the ER over high blood pressure from stress.
Managing your stress level is hard for any entrepreneur, but everyone seems to have different needs and strategies. Meditating might help, but how do you squeeze in the time between Zoom calls? How do you stay on top of your business and keep yourself sane?
It’s possible when you find the best technique for you. We have a roundup of the best resources across Lioness to help you breathe out and conquer your stress.
