    From Hustle to Harmony,
    Prioritizing Health as a Woman Entrepreneur

    With Dr. Mona McArdle

    For some, February is the month of romance, roses and a reminder everywhere you go! However, Cupid’s month should also be dedicated to self-love and self-care. 

    Did you know that 29% of female entrepreneurs say they struggle to maintain work-life balance?

    For female business owners, the self-care struggle is real! We often encounter challenges of work-life balance managing our businesses, family obligations, and personal needs. This work-life balancing act can make it difficult for us to focus on our health, leaving little room for self-care and wellness.

    Join us this ‘heart’ month as Dr. Mona McArdle offers practical tips and strategies to help us prioritize self-care, not only for our personal well-being, but also for optimal productivity in our business.

    You’ll learn:

    • That self-care is a business strategy; eating well, sleeping enough, exercising regularly, is critical.
    • How health and wellness affect our productivity and performance, sanity, and longevity.
    • How physical activity reduces risk of chronic diseases, such as dementia.
    • Actionable steps towards better health to achieve business goals and a richer personal life.

    The best gift this February is to invest in your greatest asset – yourself – so that you can thrive as a healthy and happy female entrepreneur.

    About Dr. Mona McArdle

    Mona McArdle, MD is board certified by the American Board of Urgent Care Medicine, and a Fellow of the American College of Physicians. She has lived and worked in the Rogue Valley for 22 years and is Valley Immediate Care’s Medical Director/Chief Medical Officer. Dr. McArdle always loved science, nature and finding out the “why” behind things.

    Dr. McArdle originally entered the medical field as a researcher, drawn to learning and discovery; yet, she deeply enjoyed human interaction on all levels, easing a patient’s fears or guiding a patient through difficult times, which led her to switch from research to patient care. When she is not working, Dr. McArdle enjoys hiking, rafting, camping, and traveling to new places.
