do you know what today marks?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1 YEAR being my own boss! 🥂✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
june of 2021 I left the school year like any other, ready to enjoy my summer until the following September. Eric and I flew to Florida for 10 days. During our trip, I distinctly remember talking about how happy I was to be off for the summer, to which Eric replied, “are you sure you want to go back next year?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I always knew I would leave the teaching profession at some point - I knew I couldn’t do both of my jobs forever, and I knew I couldn’t do both of them WELL. I was working my normal school hours as a kindergarten teacher, and every afternoon, evening, night, weekend, whenever on all of my instagram work. I was not living out my passion to its full potential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was excited to have Erics support in me choosing a new career path that held a lot of uncertainty, but I knew that this decision would come from me, for me, and I had the drive to make sure I succeeded. Although my principal held open doors for me if I ever chose to come back, this was never an option.

1 year later and I couldn’t be happier. Although this job surprises me in ways I couldn’t previously imagine - more challenges, bigger risks, self motivation, longer days and hours - I have never been so content in a decision before.

so I owe this all to you 🫶🏼 thank you for being here, for supporting me, for believing in me, for all of the simple likes and comments that go farther than you think, for using my links, for challenging me and befriending me. I am so fortunate to connect with all of you, the companies, brands and business owners that have become a part of my life.

year 2, I’m ready for you! 👏🏽
