Have you heard these myths about emotional labor in entrepreneurship? Myth 1: You have to do it all on your own. Myth 2: Showing vulnerability is a sign of weakness. Myth 3: Taking care of your mental well-being is a luxury you can't afford. In this interview, our guest Shulamit Ber Levtov will dispel these myths and share the truth about emotional labor in entrepreneurship, leading to increased mental well-being and sustainable success.

Curate your online life with as much care as you might in your real life. Curate your feed, but also take the time to notice how you're feeling when you're online and what's happening there, and maybe think about what it is you could do to make it different so that it's more supportive for you. - Shulamit Ber Levtov

In this episode, you will be able to:

• Discover the hidden emotional challenges that entrepreneurs face and learn practical strategies to overcome them.
• Break free from isolation and find the support you need to thrive as an entrepreneur.
• Understand the impact of emotional labor on your well-being and learn how to manage it effectively.
• Master the art of setting boundaries to protect your mental well-being and achieve sustainable success.
• Explore the relationship between shame and money in entrepreneurship and learn how to overcome financial barriers.

If you're feeling overwhelmed by the constant emotional labor required in entrepreneurship, always putting on a brave face and pretending everything is fine, only to be left feeling exhausted and burnt out at the end of the day, then you are not alone! Despite your best efforts to manage your emotions and maintain a positive outlook, it can be disheartening when your mental well-being suffers and your dreams of sustainable success start to fade.
