This episode is a group panel discussion, and we're diving into something that I think is one of the biggest hidden struggles of running a balloon business: mental health.

As a decorator, no one really prepares you for the constant juggling, the inquiries that never stop, the pressure to perform, the comparison on Instagram, the late nights before installs and that creeping feeling of burnout that can hit even when your sales are going well.

So I've invited three decorators: Travis, Nicole and Crystal, to have an honest conversation about what this actually looks like in real life. We're talking about boundaries, burnout, comparison and practical ways to protect your energy while still growing your business.

I truly hope it helps to open the conversation and gives you some practical tips for improving your own mental health.

And thanks once again to this month's presenting sponsor, Tuftex!
