In today’s coaching session, I’m working with Cora, a pet business owner who struggles with occasional bouts of depression and anxiety. This causes her to suffer - and her business to suffer.
When she’s not experiencing depression and anxiety, her energy level is high, her response time to clients is quick, and she’s able to invoice clients in a prompt manner as well as do other necessary business tasks.
However, when she’s going through a challenging emotional time, things look very different: it can take her a week or two to return client calls, it can be like slogging through quicksand to bill her clients in a timely manner and she has very little energy to run her business. She feels physically and mentally stopped.
If you also experience depression or anxiety, this may sound familiar to you.
Now, you know this (but I have to say this to protect myself, and to protect you listeners): I’m not a therapist nor a medical doctor. I’m a business and life coach.
If you are suffering from depression or anxiety, please talk to a medical professional.
In today’s coaching session, I’m not trying to diagnose Cora, nor cure her anxiety or depression. I can’t do that, nor would attempt to do that.
I am simply having a conversation with Cora about depression and anxiety and how it impacts her business and her life. I’m not trying to fix Cora’s depression or anxiety but rather to help her better navigate her business during the challenging times.
Again, if you’re struggling with depression or anxiety, please get help from a medical professional.
Thank you to Cora for having the courage to come on this podcast and be a voice for those of you who suffer from depression and anxiety and are also trying to run your business, raise your kids, and/or navigate your personal and work life.
Even if you don’t experience depression and anxiety, you may know someone who does, and this episode may help you feel more empathy and compassion for this often-silent challenge that can be crippling in ways that cannot be seen.
