#133: How Entrepreneurs Survive Mental-Health Breakdowns (And Prevent Them) (Evita Robinson & Tania Kottoor)


Listen Later

Meet Evita Robinson, founder of NoMadness Travel Tribe, and Tania Kottoor, founder of WEST X EAST — two powerhouse entrepreneurs whose founder journeys include Emmy wins, global communities, brand deals, motherhood, and milestone growth…

but also panic attacks, postpartum crises, leadership burnout, financial pressure, and the kind of emotional unraveling entrepreneurship never prepares you for.

In this episode, we strip away the glamor and dig into the truth:
Founders don’t break because they’re weak.
They break because they forget they’re human and because the blueprint we were given for “success” is breaking an entire generation of entrepreneurs.

💡 Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

  • How to Stop Carrying What Was Never Yours: Why founders feel responsible for everything — and how to identify what’s actually yours to hold.

  • How to Catch Breakdown Before It Hits: The early signs (numbness, dread, emotional shutdown) that high performers often ignore.

  • How to Ask for Help Without Feeling Like You’re Failing: Language and strategies for getting support while staying in your power.

  • How to Rebuild a Rhythm Your Body Can Withstand: Daily anchors, boundaries, and scheduling shifts that prevent burnout.

  • How to Redefine Success So You Don’t Lose Yourself: The post-breakdown clarity that helps founders build from truth, not pressure.

This is the most honest conversation we’ve had about mental health in entrepreneurship, not a pity party, not a highlight reel, but a roadmap for leading in a world that’s been asking too much of us for far too long.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” and still falling apart inside, this episode will make you feel seen and give you a way forward.
