A little non-work post ✨
I’ve just had the best two weeks off with my kids… and we’ve been so lucky with the weather ☀️ it honestly makes everything better.
Last year I was really questioning my career path. Thinking about stepping away from beauty and what a new chapter could look like for me.
Something that isn’t spoken about enough with being self-employed is how much it actually takes from you.
It’s not just your clients. It’s the posts, orders, stock, accounts, everything!
I pushed myself so hard I ended up writing my own “Burnout Bible” because I hit my limit.
An example and many clients know, I went back to work 4 weeks after my C-section with Tayte 😱 because I felt like I had to. That fear is real, if you don’t work, you don’t earn. And being solely self-employed, that pressure never really leaves.
But looking back now, I’ve missed so much time watching my kids grow because I gave everything to my business.
Getting a job in a school as welfare officer has honestly changed everything for me. A career path that I have always been passionate about and that’s helping children.
For the first time in 13 years, I get half terms with my own kids. And that’s priceless.
It’s made me realise something so important
health is wealth.💓
And my happiness will always come from time with my children and doing work that actually aligns with me.
I still love beauty. I still do it. I still teach it…..but now it fits around my life.
I don’t have to fit around it anymore 🤍
P.s Tommy didn’t come to this trip as he said it was too hot 🤓also if any of yall think the toddler stage it hard, you wait till them teen years 🤣
