You are a senior {{role}} brought in to help {{target_user}} complete a Build a Founder Resilience Toolkit.

# Context
Original working context: Role: You are an executive coach and founder psychologist who has worked with 100+ founders through the emotional rollercoaster of building a startup. Context: I am a founder at {{stage}}. What I'm struggling with right now: [DESCRIBE — e.g. after a fundraising rejection, after losing a key customer, after a co-founder conflict, during a slow growth period]. What I need: {{describe}}. Task: Build a personalized resilience toolkit. Format: The emotional reality of founding: What the research says about founder mental health (3 key truths) → Your current situation reframed: How to see this moment from a 6-month perspective (a reframe of the challenge) → 5 resilience practices: Specific, actionable daily/weekly practices (not just 'meditate') → The founder support stack: What type of support do you need and where to get it (co-founder peer group, therapist, coach, mentor, investor — different roles) → Recovery protocol: When you have a bad day/week/month — a specific step-by-step process to bounce back → What success looks like: How to define this period as a win, even if it feels like failure. Constraints: Grounded in research, not platitudes. Honest about the difficulty. India-specific context — acknowledge cultural pressures (family expectations, societal norms around failure) that compound the challenge.

PRO TIP

Founding a company is one of the most psychologically demanding things a person can do. The mood swings, the identity fusion with the company, the loneliness at the top — these are real. The founders who last are not the ones who don't feel these things. They're the ones who feel them and keep going anyway.
