Feeling the year-end pressure and seasonal blues? You're not alone.
Phyllis refuses to help me with anything on this rainy day at Doubledare HQ in Omaha, NE. ๐คทโโ๏ธ Good thing she's cute!
Fighting burnout and seasonal depression STARTS with a few simple steps:

Remember, mental health matters for the head honcho as much as it does for everyone working together within an organization.
Year-end stress and the pressure to be merry and bright are a lot to handle. Take time for yourselfโyou've earned it.
