Mind To Mood

Our UNTOLD STORY: At the beginning of this year, our co-founders (Gemma and Sara) met for the first time. What started as a simple conversation between two women running startups, quickly turned into something deeper... "The more we shared our experiences, the clearer it became: entrepreneurship can be an incredibly lonely journey. We’ve both felt it—the financial pressure, the constant stress, unspoken doubts, and of course, the inevitable differences of opinion that come with running a business. It’s easy to think that co-founding is the dream, but behind the scenes, it comes with challenges no one talks about. What’s helped us wasn’t pushing through alone or ignoring the tough parts—it was being open and honest. With ourselves, each other, and our teams. Honest conversations, accountability, and transparency became our lifelines, helping us move forward when the road was hard. Because ultimately, it’s about being responsible not just for the business, but for each other’s well-being, too." Did you know? - 72% of entrepreneurs report mental health concerns. - Entrepreneurs are 50% more likely to experience anxiety or depression. - 1 in 3 founders face depression at some point in their journey. We’re sharing these stats not to alarm you but to remind you: if you’re feeling this way, you’re not alone. It’s okay to admit when things get tough. It’s okay to ask for help. And that’s exactly why we founded Mind To Mood—to build a community where entrepreneurs can be vulnerable, support each other, and learn how to handle the mental challenges of building a business. On this Mental Health Awareness Day, we want to remind everyone that success isn’t just about resilience. It’s about knowing when to pause, reflect, and seek support. 💬 Speaking about support, we need to give a big shout-out to all those who have supported this project since the beginning: Joshua Ng, Helen McMahon, Naomi Timperley FRSA. But also those who believed in us more recently and gave us a big reason to bring this to the next level: Greater Manchester Combined Authority and Cisco. ✋ As part of our mission to give back, we’re currently looking for entrepreneurs, solopreneurs, and co-founders to help us pilot our new program. It’s designed to combat loneliness, foster open conversations, and create accountability in meaningful ways. If this resonates with you, we’d love to connect. Let’s ensure no entrepreneur walks this path alone. 💪 #MentalHealthDay #Entrepreneurship #MindToMood #MentalHealthMatters #FoundersJourney #YouAreNotAlone #Accountability #Community

Ahead of World Mental Health Day, let’s dive into the science behind well-being. 🌱 On Mental Health Awareness Day, it's essential to reflect on how small everyday changes can significantly impact our mental health.   When stress accumulates, it can cause imbalances in the brain’s chemistry, particularly affecting neurotransmitters like cortisol, dopamine, and serotonin. Prolonged exposure to stress without proper management can impair cognitive function, emotional regulation, and even immune response. Research has shown that adopting mindful routines can rewire neural pathways, increasing neuroplasticity—the brain's ability to adapt and form new connections. Regular mindfulness practices stimulate the prefrontal cortex, the region responsible for higher-level thinking, emotional control, and decision-making. Additionally, mindful breathing and gratitude practices have been linked to lowering cortisol levels, which are directly correlated with stress reduction, and boosting dopamine and serotonin, the feel-good neurotransmitters responsible for mood regulation. By consistently applying these strategies, we not only manage stress but also improve mental resilience, emotional intelligence, and overall productivity. Science shows that these mindful habits strengthen the brain’s ability to cope with challenges, leading to improved focus, stronger relationships, and enhanced creativity. The key takeaway? Making time for these small, scientifically-supported interventions is not just about stress relief—it's about optimising mental health and setting the foundation for long-term well-being. #ScienceOfWellbeing #Neuroscience #MindToMood #MentalResilience #MentalHealthAwarenessDay
