This week on the Managed Chaos podcast, we continue our Mental Health Awareness Month series with a powerful conversation about the real toll startup life can take on your well-being—and what to do about it.

Rachel Anderson sits down with behavioral science expert and founder Dana Spano, co-founder of Entreprana, a web app designed to help founders stay grounded amid the chaos of entrepreneurship. They explore how stress sneaks up on us, what unconscious reactivity looks like in real time, and how you can build mental resilience without pretending everything is fine.

💬 Whether you're in survival mode or scaling fast, this episode is packed with insight, compassion, and real-world strategies.

💡 Highlights:
✔️ How your stress response is driving decisions
✔️ Burnout warning signs—before it's too late
✔️ What “regulation” actually means in founder life
✔️ Dana’s framework for balancing performance and peace
✔️ Why Entreprana was built for founders, by founders
