Welcome to the first-ever episode of Minding Our Business with Jess and Jonesy. We’re kicking things off by getting real about the one thing that’s shaped every win, every burnout, and every bounce-back in our entrepreneurial journeys: mindset.

Jess opens up about her struggles with depression, the power of self-awareness, and how DBT tools (yep, we’ll explain) became her lifeline. Jonesy shares how hockey, humor, and a therapy-savvy spouse have helped him navigate the chaos of running a business with anxiety.

We talk:

• Mental health as a business strategy

• The difference between proactive and reactive self-care

• Shame spirals, accountability groups, and the lies our inner critics love to tell

• Why your childhood hobbies might still be the key to your joy

• And how mindset isn't about just “thinking positive.” It's about doing the work daily, even when no one’s watching

This is founder well-being in full color. No fluff. No filters. Just two business owners talking about what it really takes to show up for your business and your life.
