"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment." - Gautama Buddha Hey Reader, Today, I want to address a topic that specifically relates to those who are Startup Founders. As Startup Founders, we shoulder immense responsibilities and face unique pressures. The relentless pursuit of success, the high stakes, and the constant need to make critical decisions can take a toll on our mental and physical health. It's crucial for us to prioritize self-care and find effective ways to deal with stress while maintaining a balanced and fulfilling journey! I'm super excited to share that today that I'll be recording a new episode of The Anxious Developer Podcast, focusing exactly on this topic: “How to Deal with Stress as a Startup Founder?”.

Together, we'll explore practical strategies, share personal experiences, and discuss how we can navigate the challenges of startup life while at the same time prioritizing our well-being.
