We officially turned one yesterday 🎈
So I thought I would show you a little of our road to get here.
This post isn’t about proving anything.
Or valuing or worth.
(We are already so proud of ourselves!)
It’s about honesty.
Women can absolutely do hard things.
But we cannot do everything.
And we definitely cannot do it all at once.
I grew up watching women who “did it all.”
Built businesses. Grew babies. Raised babies. Led teams and still showed up energetically - and I found it wildly inspiring.
Then you live it.
And no one really tells you how heavy it can feel.
The last 24 months have stretched me in ways I didn’t know were possible.
Financial pressure, emotional pressure, leadership pressure & physical pressure on my body!
Trying to build something meaningful while still being present in my own life. It has been one of the hardest seasons I’ve ever walked through.
I don’t want to sell hustle.
I don’t want to promote high-pressure living as the badge of honour.
What I have learned is this:
We need to slow the f*** down.
We don’t need to “do it all.”
We need to do more of it.. TOGETHER 🫶
Darkside Movement has something incredibly special planned in honour of our journey and other local women in business!
SAVE THE DATE: March 14 & 15 ❤️💜🖤
