From Mental Health to Mindset by Tabatha Barron — Lionesses of Africa

Book Review

For Tabatha Barron, author of The Invisible Entrepreneur, she found it amazing how many women have various experiences of feeling invisible, that challenge their individual circumstances from childcare to employment to just being heard during medical visits, let alone becoming entrepreneurs. Her book gives voice to the stories of strong, courageous, impactful, resilient women and the skill sets they used to move through their entrepreneurial journeys, whilst taking care of their mental health and improving their mindsets.

The Invisible Entrepreneur is the type of book that believes there is a way for us, as women entrepreneurs, to not hear what we should do and how we should do it, but instead allows us to peek into the life of different people in different industries with similar experiences on their journeys, and see how we can be applied those learnings in our own lives and journeys. Each contributor outlined their experiences in their own words to support us on our entrepreneurial marathon. The level of courage and vulnerability shared here is a great way to help those who are encountering challenging people and situations and to understand you are not wrong, broken, or damaged. It is the opposite because you have the answer and those who are meant for you are the ones that will find you and also there is always more than one way to reach your goal. It can be difficult but you just need the right support, unshakable faith, fortitude of a champion, and the fierceness of a lioness and that is where your winning attitude will reside in you! These ladies have shown that Mental Health and Mindset are two things that are not up for compromise.

Author Quotes

Being an invisible entrepreneur is not always what we think it is, and there is a way through it. Let us share with you how we are able to navigate the terrain of entrepreneurship and managing our individual mental health and mindset.

Entrepreneurship is fun and hard. Entrepreneurship is rewarding and frustrating. All of these realities can live within the same experience, and they are very good motivators to keep your mental health in mind as you travel on this journey.

Research has found that self-employed women are at a higher risk of mental illness due to gender obstacles and isolation. 

Gender based barriers not only affected female entrepreneurs’ mental health but also added pressure to their work and impeded their success.

We hope to inspire, encourage and support other women through a few of our personal stories of struggle and triumph from mental health to mindset when you read this book.
