The Mental Load of Building a Business Decision Fatigue, Perfectionism, and the Psychology of Leading

​As a founder, you're making hundreds of decisions every day, big and small, strategic and operational. Over time, that mental load quietly accumulates. And if you don't understand what's happening in your own mind and nervous system, you can build something successful while quietly burning yourself out behind the scenes.

​In this session, Katie McKeown, Registered Psychotherapist and Founder of Modern Psych, will break down the psychological patterns most common in founders and business leaders and share practical, neuroscience-informed tools you can apply right away.

​After this session, you'll walk away with:

  • ​How to recognize decision fatigue and why it's neuroscience, not weakness

  • ​Why perfectionism shows up in high achievers and how to tell when it's helping versus holding you back

  • ​How founder identity and nervous system patterns can quietly cap your growth

  • ​How to spot your personal burnout warning signs before you hit a wall

  • ​A practical framework for managing cognitive load, energy, and sustainable momentum

  • ​Practical guidebooks on burnout and mental clutter to work through on your own time
