For many entrepreneurs, mental health takes a back seat to ambition, productivity, and the pressure to keep going no matter what. Dr. Aditi Nerurkar once lived by that belief, until chronic burnout during her 80-hour-a-week residency broke her body down so severely she feared a heart condition. That crisis sparked her healing journey and became the foundation for her 5 Resets for when life and business get hard. In this first episode of the Mental Wealth Series, Dr. Aditi shares science-backed tools to help entrepreneurs reduce stress, prevent burnout, and protect their mental health.
