April Reset for Entrepreneurs: 3 Questions to Reflect and Reset
Let’s be real: most entrepreneurs don’t need a reminder that April is Stress Awareness Month. For many of us, stress isn’t a fleeting visitor—it’s the silent partner in every investor pitch, product pivot, and late-night strategy session.
It shows up uninvited, sitting at the table like a co-founder we never asked for.
If you’re running a business right now, you’re doing it against a backdrop of economic unpredictability, shifting tariffs, AI shaking up entire industries, and pressure to do more with less—faster. That’s a lot to carry, even for the most resilient among us.
So here’s a moment of truth:
What if stress isn’t just part of the hustle?
What if chronic stress is actually bad for business?
What if we stopped wearing burnout like a badge of honour?
The Entrepreneur’s Slump
Q1 was a sprint. Big energy. Big decisions. Big outcomes. Now it’s April, the season is changing, and suddenly that “go, go, go” has hit a wall. This isn't a weakness. This is your body and brain telling you it's time to recalibrate. High-performance doesn’t mean pushing through at all costs—it means knowing when to pause, assess, and re-strategize.
Stress Isn’t the Enemy. Avoidance Is.
At Collectively tangled, we encourage you to lean into routine-building and reclaiming the tasks we’ve been avoiding—the ones that lurk in the background and silently drain our energy. Free up that brain power spent trying to convince yourself to do it.
Build in non-negotiable routines, even if it’s a 30-minute walk once a day. Why? Because stress doesn’t magically disappear. It needs somewhere to go.
Naming our stress and designing a plan to respond to it—without judgment—is a powerful tool. We’re not here to encourage you to live a stress free life, we encourage you to understand stress and have a healthy relationship with it, so you're able to make better decisions and respond in more effective ways.
Take 3 Minutes to Reflect:
What’s your current relationship with stress?
What do you actually need this month?
What’s one thing you can do this week to create space instead of noise?

This month, let’s normalize reaching out. Whether it’s therapy, a coaching call, or a simple consultation to figure out what support looks like—it’s a business decision as much as it is a personal one.

You can’t scale burnout.
You can’t innovate from exhaustion.
And you don’t have to figure it out alone.
Book a free consultation or a therapy session at Collectively Tangled. You’ve built something incredible. Let’s make sure you’re well enough to keep building it.
