Why mental health can't be automated?

Being a founder or CEO means carrying a lot of weight on your shoulders. Long hours, tough decisions, and the constant pressure to keep things moving forward, it’s exhausting. But here’s what we don’t talk about enough, the toll it takes on your mental health. Burnout, stress, anxiety... they’re not just buzzwords. They’re realities for so many leaders, and if you’ve felt it, you’re not alone. The question is, what are you doing about it? Because let’s face it, ignoring the problem doesn’t make it go away. It only makes things worse, for you, your business, and everyone around you. For Alane, the effects of chronic stress were impossible to ignore. What started as stress-induced eczema on her hands and arms escalated to a dramatic angioedema attack, leaving her face and eyes severely swollen.
