This episode on the Talking Trades Podcast, we're diving into a topic that every business owner, contractor, and hardworking entrepreneur needs to hear-mental health in the trades! 

We sit down with the incredible Kat Treebrook, licensed therapist and founder of Treebrook Counseling to talk about the real pressures that come with running your own business, working long hours, managing team, and navigating the daily stress of life in the trades.

Kat brings a refreshing perspective and powerful insight into recognizing burnout before it takes over, why therapy isn't jus for "when things are bad", the emotional toll of trade work (and how to manage it) and how mental health wellness directly impacts performance, relationships, and business growth. Don't miss this powerful conversation with Kat Treebrook- because your mental health is just as important as the bottom line!
