Ep. 178: Replay: Dealing with Depression and Anxiety as a Pet Business Owner

In this podcast episode replay from a few years ago, you’ll meet Cora, a pet business owner navigating the impact of depression and anxiety on her pet business and her life When feeling well, Cora is high-energy, responsive, and prompt with billing. However, during depressive episodes, she feels physically and mentally blocked, causing client communication and routine business tasks to stall for weeks at a time. As you listen, I want to emphasize that I, Kristin Morrison, am a business and life coach – not a medical professional or therapist – the session is designed solely to help Cora manage her business operations during low periods, not to diagnose or treat her condition. Anyone struggling with anxiety or depression is strongly encouraged to seek help from a medical professional. This episode highlights the reality of running a business while living with a mental health condition. Thank you to Cora for her courage in speaking up, to give a voice to the many pet industry entrepreneurs facing similar challenges while also helping all listeners build deeper empathy for invisible struggles.
