Small business ownership is widely celebrated for fueling innovation and community prosperity. Yet beneath the ambition and daily execution lies a critical and under-recognized leadership challenge: the mental health strain on owners themselves. This episode unpacks research showing how stress, isolation, and burnout are not “personal issues” but systemic factors that impact decision-making, resilience, performance, and organizational culture. Mental health must move from a private burden to a strategic leadership priority. Key Research & Findings 1. The Hidden Health Burden of Ownership Based on Nav's report surveying more than 1,000 U.S. small business owners. Nearly half (48%) report their business consumes so much attention it detracts from life outside work. Stress, fatigue, and anxiety are widespread: 53% identify stress as a common health impact. Over 40% report fatigue and anxiety. 36% experience headaches tied to work demands. A full third say they've experienced mental health challenges significant enough to warrant professional support — yet nearly half have not accessed it. 2. Why This Matters for Leadership Mental health strain affects more than the individual owner: It reduces decision clarity and confidence in high-stakes moments. It undermines resilience in volatile cash flow, competitive shifts, or market unpredictability. It bleeds into culture, performance, and long-term viability when leaders are mentally depleted. 3. Systemic Stressors in Small Business Owners must act as generalists — juggling finance, operations, sales, HR, and leadership simultaneously — with financial stress clearly leading as the top pressure point. Unlike traditional jobs, ownership often lacks daily psychological detachment, making recovery moments (rest, time off) rare and difficult. What Owners Are Already Doing Despite the strain: Many apply individual coping strategies: Exercise, mindfulness practices. Connecting with family/friends. Yet these efforts are undermined by structural barriers: Many owners haven't taken a full week off in more than three years. Cost concerns and self-reliance discourage professional support. Leadership & HR Imperatives 1. Mental Health Literacy is Leadership Literacy Leaders must build fluency in recognizing stress, burnout, and psychological fatigue — not as deficits of character, but as systemic outcomes of ownership. 2. Culture Design with Mental Health as Strategy Mental health needs to be explicitly integrated into leadership conversations, not limited to “well-being perks.” This means shaping organizational norms that: Normalize help-seeking. Intentionally embed recovery rhythms (time off, boundary setting). Build structural supports consistent with sustainable leadership. 3. Shift from Personal Burden to Organizational Priority Treating mental health as an individual issue misses the systemic impact on performance, resilience, and long-term success. Takeaways for Executives & Founders Reframe mental health as a strategic performance factor — not a personal aside. Design leadership practices that institutionalize psychological recovery. Expand support systems beyond fitness or mindfulness programs to include coaching, peer networks, and professional access. Measure and reflect on how mental strain affects decisions, productivity, and culture. Discussion Questions (for Leadership Roundtables or Workshops) In what ways is owner mental health currently visible or invisible in your organization's leadership ecosystem? What structural barriers (e.g., time off, cultural norms, resource allocation) are preventing small business owners from accessing support? How can leaders create deliberate practices that embed psychological recovery into the rhythm of work?

SPRINGFIELD – State Senator Javier Loera Cervantes was joined by health care providers, students, patients and the Illinois Academy of Physician Associates for a press conference on a new law that would modernize PA practice laws, improving health care access across the state. “Last year, I was proud to sponsor legislation to begin the journey to allow physician assistants to practice to their full potential,” said Cervantes (D-Chicago). “This year's Senate Bill 3421 is critical as we face an access to health care crisis in Illinois.” With similar training as nurses and doctors, PAs can provide high-quality health care, but have run into difficulties getting their license approved due to a long, tedious paperwork approval process. Senate Bill 3421 would remove outdated practice barriers for PAs, allowing them to deliver care more effectively and efficiently. The legislation allows PAs to obtain a license to prescribe and administer certain controlled substances without a written agreement from a doctor, as nurses are currently able to do. “This legislation is vital because our healthcare system continues to face increasing strain. Recognizing and empowering PAs in our communities will make a significant impact,” said Timothy Kinsey, a PA in emergency medicine and executive director of IAPA. “They are highly trained professionals who can serve as the first line of defense against serious health issues.” This legislation is crucial as it aligns with the growing demand for health care services while maintaining high standards of safety and quality. “Many communities, including my own, are experiencing medical deserts, and PAs are a vital part of the solution,” said Cervantes. “The federal government has initiated a Rural Health Transformation initiative, and Illinois risks leaving tens of millions of dollars on the table if we do not modernize our PA practice laws. The time to act is now.” Senate Bill 3421 awaits assignment to a legislative committee.
I'd love to hear from you 'text the show'Today I'm joined by Nicola, my COO in Thrive, and we're getting into a topic that can feel a bit uncomfortable, but it is one of the most important conversations you can have if you want your clinic to grow.Episode SummaryIn this episode, Nicola and I talk about the things clinic owners tolerate that quietly erode performance over time. We explore why leadership can feel triggering, especially if you have come from workplaces where leadership looked more like dictating, bullying, or conflict.We also talk about how easy it is to swing too far the other way. Wanting to be liked, avoiding difficult conversations, and telling yourself you do not have time can all become patterns that keep you stuck.If you keep discussing the same person, you have tolerated it too long.Avoidance often looks like empathy, but it drains you and the business.Most “team problems” are unclear expectations.If you are not tracking numbers, nobody is.Set simple KPIs per role, for therapists: conversion, visits, occupancy.Check process and training before blaming the person.Lead tough chats with curiosity, not aggression.Leadership is learned, get support and practise it.Your clinic grows as your leadership grows.SponsorToday's episode is sponsored by Jane, a clinic management software and EMR.

Morning Mantra: “Until you know your options you will continue to feel stuck.” When you only see one possible path forward, you limit your chance of success. Rather than complaining about the situation, or worrying about possible failure, give yourself more options.Take inventory and ask yourself what options do you currently have? Then consider, what new options could you develop? Are there other ways to get to your goal? Ask your friends, your family or a trusted mentor to help you find more ways.Options give you independence, they give you the power of choice. Options provide you with multiple ways to respond to difficulty or the feeling of not knowing. When you have more options, you have more confidence, and more control over the outcome. Discovering and developing new options takes work, but this effort increases the leverage you have over your circumstances and choices.#BeLookingForOptions #BeHappy #BeHorsey #BeHippie #HorseHippie #MorningMantra #inspirationalQuotes #MorningMotivation #Equestrian #HorseLover #QuotesToInspire #HorseHippieBrand #HorseHippieBoutique

A four man rush should not end a season. But it did in Super Bowl 60 when the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13.In this full Patriots Super Bowl 60 recap, we break down how Seattle's defense overwhelmed Drake Maye, why the fourth-and-one punt changed the tone of the game, and how protection failures derailed New England's offense on the biggest stage in the NFL.This loss was not about one mistake. It was about offensive line breakdowns, missed hot reads, and a Patriots game plan that never adjusted to Seattle's disciplined zone coverage and relentless pass rush.Drake Maye Super Bowl AnalysisMaye faced constant pressure from a Seahawks front that consistently won with four. The Patriots struggled at left tackle, long developing pass concepts had no time to unfold, and early down inefficiency forced predictable passing situations.Seattle's defensive structure was simple and effective. Sit in zone. Rush with discipline. Tackle in space. The Seahawks controlled field position, dominated in the red zone, and forced the Patriots into uncomfortable third downs all night.On the other side, Seattle's offense did not need hero ball. They controlled tempo, avoided mistakes, and capitalized on short fields. Small advantages became decisive. Red zone execution. Field position. Third down efficiency.Why the Patriots Lost Super Bowl 60• Offensive line could not handle a four man rush• No consistent quick game to counter pressure• Limited early down success• Lack of explosive perimeter threats• Seattle won situational footballWhen protection collapses without blitz pressure, the margin for error disappears.Patriots Offseason Needs 2026If the Patriots are serious about building around Drake Maye, the priority is clear.Invest heavily in the offensive line. Secure a true left tackle. Consider moving Will Campbell inside if that maximizes his value. Add a mismatch tight end and a true outside receiver with size and burst.Veteran trench upgrades stabilize quickly. Dynamic pass catchers can come through the NFL Draft.Most importantly, the Patriots must build a pressure proof offensive identity. Screens. Quick game. Motion. Rhythm throws. Early down efficiency. The offense must dictate terms before elite defenses take control.Drake Maye's Future After Super Bowl 60One bad Super Bowl does not define a franchise quarterback. Maye beat top defenses to reach this stage. The Patriots exceeded expectations during what many called a transition year.The next step is structural. Protect the quarterback. Expand the playbook. Win situational football.The blueprint is clear. Protect. Diversify. Execute.We close by zooming out across the NFL landscape and pivoting into Celtics season as we continue covering Boston sports from every angle.If you are searching for Patriots Super Bowl 60 analysis, Drake Maye breakdowns, and real Patriots offseason strategy discussion, this episode delivers it.Subscribe for weekly Patriots coverage, NFL analysis, and Boston sports breakdowns.

Sometimes it's not that you're doing anything “wrong” with money, it's that you're operating from patterns you never consciously chose. In this episode, I sit down with Jamie Berman, a master certified money coach with a background in spiritual psychology, to unpack why money can feel heavy even when your business is working. Together, we explore how subconscious beliefs, inherited scarcity, and hustle-driven identity quietly shape the way we earn, receive, and relate to money. Jamie shares a grounded, practical approach to manifestation that goes far beyond affirmations, helping us shift from forcing outcomes to trusting ourselves, our timing, and our capacity to receive.

ไลฟ์ประจำวันอาทิตย์ที่ 8 กุมภาพันธ์ 2569 เวลาหนึ่งทุ่ม สนใจเรียนออนไลน์ แบบดูวิดีโอด้วยตนเอง ดูรายละเอียดที่ www.morprawate.com สนใจเรียน online workshop ผ่านระบบ Zoom สอบถามที่ LINE @morprawateสรุปเนื้อหาสำคัญเกี่ยวกับ “การตัดสินใจให้ดีขึ้น” โดยมีประเด็นหลักที่น่าสนใจดังนี้: 1. อิทธิพลของอารมณ์กับการตัดสินใจ อารมณ์ไม่ใช่ศัตรู: ความเชื่อที่ว่าการตัดสินใจที่ดีต้องใช้เหตุผลล้วนๆ และตัดอารมณ์ทิ้งไปนั้นไม่ถูกต้อง งานวิจัยทางสมองพบว่าหากสมองส่วนอารมณ์เสียหาย มนุษย์จะสูญเสียความสามารถในการตัดสินใจแม้ในเรื่องง่ายๆ [03:10] ใช้ประโยชน์จากอารมณ์: หากเรารู้จักสังเกตและใช้ข้อมูลจากอารมณ์อย่างเหมาะสม (ใช้ให้เป็น) จะช่วยให้เราตัดสินใจได้รอบด้านขึ้น [04:13] 2. หลักคิด 3 + 1 เพื่อการตัดสินใจที่ดีขึ้น วิธีที่ 1: เปลี่ยนคำถามจาก “จะเกิดอะไรขึ้น” เป็น “ถ้าเกิด…ฉันจะทำอย่างไร” การถามว่า “มันจะแย่ไหม” จะกระตุ้นความกลัวและความรู้สึกควบคุมไม่ได้ การวางแผนรองรับ (Scenario Planning) ว่าถ้าเกิดเหตุการณ์ A, B หรือ C เราจะจัดการอย่างไร จะช่วยให้เรารู้สึกมีอำนาจในการจัดการและลดความกังวล [07:29] วิธีที่ 2: เพิ่มทางเลือก (Expand your options) อย่าติดกับดักการตัดสินใจแบบ “ทำ หรือ ไม่ทำ”, “ซื้อ หรือ ไม่ซื้อ” ให้ถอยออกมามองภาพกว้าง เช่น แทนที่จะคิดว่า “จะซื้อรองเท้านี้ไหม” ให้คิดว่า “จะซื้อรองเท้านี้ หรือจะเอาเงินไปนวดเท้า หรือจะไปดูร้านอื่น” เพื่อเพิ่มความยืดหยุ่น [09:15] วิธีที่ 3: คิดจากอนาคตย้อนกลับมา (Future Perspective) ลองสมมติตัวเองไปอยู่ในอนาคต (10 วัน, 10 เดือน, 10 ปีข้างหน้า) แล้วมองย้อนกลับมา [16:14] ถามตัวเองว่า หากการตัดสินใจครั้งนี้ล้มเหลว สาเหตุที่น่าจะเป็นไปได้มากที่สุดคืออะไร? วิธีนี้จะช่วยให้เราเห็น “จุดบอด” หรือความเสี่ยงที่เราอาจมองข้ามไปในตอนแรก [14:59] วิธีที่ 4: การหายใจเพื่อปรับสมอง (+1) งานวิจัยพบว่าการ “หายใจออกให้ยาวกว่าหายใจเข้า” (เช่น สูตร 3-1-5) ติดต่อกัน 2 นาที ช่วยเพิ่มความสามารถในการตัดสินใจ [19:23] การทำเช่นนี้จะส่งสัญญาณผ่านระบบประสาทว่าร่างกายอยู่ในสภาวะปลอดภัย ทำให้สมองส่วนตัดสินใจทำงานได้ดีขึ้น [22:26] 3. กับดักและข้อควรระวัง อคติจากข้อมูลชุดแรก: มนุษย์มีแนวโน้มเชื่อข้อมูลชุดแรกที่ได้รับและปิดกั้นข้อมูลที่ขัดแย้ง ต้องหมั่นตรวจสอบว่าเรากำลังตกหลุมพรางนี้หรือไม่ [29:26] พลังงานสมองมีจำกัด: การตัดสินใจมากเกินไปในหนึ่งวันทำให้ “สมองล้า” (Decision Fatigue) เราจึงมักตัดสินใจแย่ลงในช่วงท้ายของวัน [31:06] จัดระบบเรื่องเล็ก: ควรสร้างกิจวัตรในเรื่องเล็กๆ (เช่น กินอะไรตอนเช้า) เพื่อเก็บพลังงานสมองไว้ใช้กับเรื่องสำคัญ [32:13]

Listen into this week's message titled "Leave the Metsadot, Expand the Miskan" preached by Pastor Cason Shobert.

Vision Sunday 2026 is a powerful look at where God is leading GO Church and how we can be part of His greater mission. Drawing from the Prayer of Jabez in 1 Chronicles 4:10, Pastor JC challenges us to pray boldly for God’s blessing, expanded influence, guiding presence, and divine protection—not for our comfort, but so we can bless our city and the nations. In this message, we celebrate what God has done, share the vision for the next five years, and unpack our mission to gather together, grow in Christ, and go make a difference. Vision gives us the ability to see clearly and run with purpose—and this is an invitation to step into what God is building next.

How do we pray when we aren't sure what to say? Author and Bible curriculum developer Danika Cooley knows that the Bible holds the answers. God doesn't expect us to pray without guidance.

Welcome to the Influence Podcast! I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. In this episode, I talk to Melissa Alfaro about her new book, The Heart of a Pathfinder: Charting Paths for the Next Generation. "A pathfinder's greatest motivation is not the sustainability of their legacy but their ability to launch members of the next generation into their call," Alfaro writes. "Obstacles don't discourage pathfinders. They see obstacles as opportunities to clear a path so the next generation can step into their purpose. Pathfinders take risks. They path the price because they realize that their greatest legacy is not what they have built with their hands, but the paths that they have opened for others with their feet." Alfaro is senior pastor of Tab Church in Houston, Texas, along with her husband Jay. She is an executive presbyter of the Assemblies of God, as well as chair of the Network of Women Ministers.

Child Care is a huge point of discussion in Utah. For a state that is huge and family-oriented and is looking to boost birthrates, this is a major factor for those looking to start one, because we are hearing from Utahns who are struggling to find affordable childcare. A new bill from Senator Luz Escamilla would help to ease the pain of childcare by expanding current definitions in the law to provide incentives for some to open home-based childcare businesses. Sen. Escamilla joins the show to discuss this proposal and other childcare priorities.

Hello Brave Friends!This is an Ask Us Anything episode in which YOU, the listener, get to write or call in and - yes - ask us anything!In this Ask Us Anything episode, #241, we're responding to the question: “Hi Zoe, Susanna, and Jessica. You all have been moms a long, long time, and I am a newer mom. My first child, now age 3, was born with a disability…and I just can't decide if I should have more kids or not. How did you decide?”In this conversation, Jessica Patay, Susanna Peace Lovell, and Dr. Zoe Shaw respond with honesty, compassion, and deep respect for how complex this decision can be. They talk about the emotional weight of choice through the lens of their own experience, the role of grief and hope, and how different phases of parenting call for different questions. Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all answer, they explore how to listen to your values, your capacity, and your support system- while giving yourself permission to take your time and trust that there is no “right” answer, only the one that is right for you and your family.Keep the questions coming—we're here to support you.

The Big Ten's commissioner, Tony Petitti, spent much of this season trying to do two things: 1) Expand the Playoff to his liking, and 2) Get his member schools to sign a big private capital deal. Neither happened, and the conference now appears to have wasted a lot of time off the field even as it was winning a third-straight national championship on it. Matt Brown of the tremendous Extra Points newsletter and document library joins Alex and Richard to talk about these misadventures, in particular: * How Petitti has made himself the sport's main bureaucratic villain, taking a role that SEC commissioner Greg Sankey may have seen as his birthright* Why a lot of the Big Ten wanted this private capital deal * Why it didn't ultimately come together, despite those wishes* The one actual good reason for wanting the deal, explained by Matt * Why Rutgers' finances are so bad You can read Matt several times every week by subscribing to his Extra Points newsletter. We are both happy subscribers, along with most conference commissioners, countless athletic directors, and anyone else who cares about being informed on the off-field movements shaping college football. SZD paying subscribers will hear a lot more from Matt later this week He'll join us on a subscriber episode to discuss Playoff non-expansion, the state of the football calendar, the NCAA's stalled (?) efforts to get an antitrust exemption from Congress, the eligibility crisis in multiple sports, the race to fund excess NIL money on top of the House settlement, and the topic that's always on all of our minds: basketball video game licensing.
