Boost your mindset and conquer anxiety with Dr. Jodie Lowinger

There is no doubt the trade industry is doing much better when it comes to the tough, but crucial conversations around mental fitness and wellbeing.

This is why Lifestyle Tradie is proudly partnered with Gotcha4Life. But the reality for a lot of people is that their mental fitness is still in progress, being the reason Gus Worland founded Gotcha4Life in the first place. We invited founder of Mind Strength, Doctor of Clinical Psychology, and Ambassador for Gotcha4Life, Dr. Jodie Lowinger onto the stage at our members R&R and into ‘The Tradie Show’ podcast in 2022 to talk through strategies to minimise anxiety in work and in life..

In our chat with Dr. Jodie on ‘The Tradie Show’, her key message was around the idea that working on your mental health is fundamental to high performance, which goes hand in hand with running a successful business.

As business owners, we are aware that when it comes to the day-to-day operations of running a business, and working through financial growth goals, stress and constant uncertainty is unfortunately, almost inevitable.

When we are experiencing stress and uncertainty, it has huge behavioural consequences and anxious repercussions. It affects not only the business operations, but your personal day to day interactions with friends and family, too.

Dr. Jodie drives home why everyone should be aware of how they are feeling, and not to suffer alone if they feel like they are struggling. It is important to build your community and reach out to professionals that can guide you through simple strategies to make sure you are okay. Ultimately if you are struggling, so does your business, your staff and family. You must start at the source and prioritise you.

To hear more from Dr. Jodie about why the conversation needs to switch from being taboo to being a very normal and important conversation, PLUS how to have the conversation with a staff member fundamental to high performance, which goes hand in hand with running a successful business.

Gotcha4Life’s mission is for everyone to have a Gotcha4Life mate – a go-to person you can rely on and talk to when times are tough, so no one has to worry alone. With a core vision of zero suicides, the Gotcha4Life Foundation is doing AMAZING work and we are so proud to be a part of the movement. Working in the trade industry, we understand the stress and isolation that comes with running a business, and how hard it can be to ask for help, or even recognise that you need it in the first place. That is why Lifestyle Tradie is so happy to support Gotcha4Life in their zero suicides goal, promoting mental fitness and the important message that no one should suffer alone.
