The Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Business: When Survival Becomes Self-Betrayal | Scott Gilbert

The Hidden Mental Health Crisis in Business: When Survival Becomes Self-Betrayal | Scott Gilbert

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we uncover what happens when your dream business turns into a mental and spiritual battlefield. Scott Gilbert, med spa entrepreneur and founder of the 5 Growth Engines system, shares how COVID-19 dismantled his thriving startup overnight and left him grappling with despair, debt, and identity loss. This isn’t just a story of financial failure—it’s a raw look into the mental health toll of entrepreneurship.

Scott opens up about how survival mode led him to betray the very values he built his business on, and how hitting rock bottom became the foundation for a completely new system—one that’s sustainable, client-focused, and soul-aligned. If you’re a founder silently struggling or feel burned out from trying to “do it all,” this episode is your wake-up call.

Tune in to learn how simplifying your business model, embracing discomfort, and reclaiming your integrity can rebuild both your revenue and your resilience.

About the Guest:Scott Gilbert is a med spa entrepreneur and creator of the 5 Growth Engines—a framework that helped him rebuild a seven-figure business after losing everything during COVID-19. His mission is to help service-based business owners grow without sacrificing their mental health or integrity.

Key Takeaways :

  • Scott's business was devastated when COVID-19 hit just a day after his med spa launched, leaving him with over $400K in investment and no clients.

  • The mental health collapse that followed showed him how financial desperation can hijack integrity and create cycles of self-betrayal.

  • He explains how chasing short-term wins led him to become exactly what he set out to change—selling over serving.

  • His transformation began with one walk, one podcast, and one thread of hope that led to a complete mindset shift.

  • Scott’s 5 Growth Engines now help business owners move from burnout to sustainable success with a focus on client results and mental well-being.

  • A core message: simplify your offering, serve deeply, and don’t outsource what you haven’t learned to manage.

  • He breaks the myth that outsourcing without understanding can lead to freedom—instead, it creates disconnection and poor decision-making.
