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
This is super-relevant for everybody. I respect and love what you guys do. 💜
