For a long time, I thought investing more into my business was the answer.

And honestly, why wouldn’t I?

I loved my salon. It was my future

Every upgrade felt like progress. A better space. Better equipment. More capacity. More growth.

I thought I was building the business that would eventually give me more of what I wanted from life.

Then my twins arrived.

Four weeks postpartum, still healing, back at work

8 weeks in I had to stop.

And when I stopped, I didn’t just stop earning.

I lost everything I’d put into the business.

That was the part I wish I’d understood sooner.

I didn’t need to invest less in the business I loved.

I needed to understand that I could build something alongside it too.

Because when all of your income, your investment and your future sit inside one business that requires you to be there…

life doesn’t have to be a disaster for that to become a problem.

You just have to reach a season where you can’t work the way you used to.

A baby.

Your health.

Your family.

A decision you make.

And suddenly, the thing you spent years building can stop building your future with you.

I wish I’d known there was another way before I needed it.

You can love your business and still build beyond it.

Thanks for the memories Eden, NSW 🐳 Definitely worth a visit.

We just got back from being away.

Today my body needed a slow day. So it got one.

No clients to ring. No bookings to move.

A few years ago, a day like this meant cancelled clients and lost money.

Today it just meant rest.

If her body asked for a day off tomorrow, could she give it one?

DM me BREATHE and I’ll send you the free course that shows you how to build so rest doesn’t cost you clients. šŸ’›

There’s a thought I haven’t said out loud this week

Two weeks of flu on top of an autoimmune flare. Scrolling past women doing lives and reels, glowing, full of energy, full lives. And me, on the couch, thinking: who am I to share anything right now?

So this is where I actually am. Not polished. Not magnetic. Just honest.

Resting. Letting my body do what it needs. And reminding myself that a stopped season isn’t the end of the story.

If she’s in one too, she’s not behind. She’s just in a season.

My dream business I built gave me two options. Back at work at four weeks postpartum or no pay at all.

No choice in how motherhood got to look for me.

I didn’t know their was a third option.

It wasn’t my fault. No business I knew of let me pause sacrifice was just the price of the dream.

So for years I carried shame instead of the truth.

The truth? It was never the business. It was how I built it.

The relentless sacrifice of time for money became too heartbreaking to keep going not while I wasn’t fully there for my twins.

The dream I’d built couldn’t match the joy of being present as their mum.

So I started looking for another way to build.

If you’ve been in business or a job for a while, and the sacrifices are getting old,

I have a free course that shares exactly how to build your business differently, so you can choose how your motherhood and life gets to look.

I didn’t choose the stillness that built my business. My body did.

I’m learning to resent the door and still value what was on the other side of it.

resent it or value it can you hold both?
