This is Doone for Female Startup Club

Hi everyone and welcome back to the show! It’s Doone here, your host and hype girl! If you’ve just found us - welcome welcome welcome. Thank you for tuning into my mini solo episode this week, where we chat all about the things I’m doing right now for my mental health.

Before we jump into this - I’d love for you to be involved in my new solo episodes. All you need to do is send through a voicenote in the DMS either to female startup club on IG (or my personal account). It can be a specific question you have about business or life or a personal question, something you want to know or learn more about. We’re keeping it broad so we can mix it up! It’s part of a new content series where we will play your recording (so whatever you send in the recording will play on the show) and chat through that topic or question. And I’m so excited for this! See you in the DMs.

Let’s get into the episode. Chatting to Wonderwind co-founder Daniella Pierson on the show at the end of last year reminded me just how much of a shared experience this all really is. And why it’s important to talk about it so we feel less alone. If you didn’t hear her episode, def go back and listen to it - Wondermind is a mental fitness startup that Daniella launched with her co-founders Selena Gomez and Mandy Teefey after a powerful conversation around their mental health struggles. And my conversation with her was really powerful. Daniella shared deeply about having ADHD, OCD, and Depression, and her vulnerability really lit a spark in me.

When you read through Wondermind content, it points out that self-care refers to the things we turn to when we’re in desperate need of a mental health pick-me-up. The thing is, relying on it to put out fires after they’ve already started is not the best way to stay on top of life’s stresses. Self-care can and should be a tool you use to set yourself up for success every single day, not just an emergency switch you pull during crisis mode. And because I’ve been going through the motions of getting my mental health in a place of priority, this might be just the right time to talk about the things that I’m doing for my mental health in the hopes that if you’re experiencing any of these feelings, it helps you too. 

Today I’m sharing 5 of the things that I’m doing right now to give my mind that little pick-me-up. And remember, maybe you’re in a really great place right now - and that’s a great place to be making sure you’re building habits that support your mental health ongoing. There’s no time like the present when it comes to getting up close and personal with mental health tools. You’ll thank yourself later.

Ok, now let’s jump into today’s episode!
