Hi folks! It’s been a while…so time for a little explanation❤️ A lot has been happening in the world. As an empath, it’s been intense.
This space has been quiet as I navigate the transition I am in.
I never went to business school- but I have created and held a successful business for almost 7 years now focused on my handmade belly binds. When I entered the market space of Bengkung and belly binds, it was filled with other artisans who were honest about their work. In the past three years, the market spaces has drastically changed to a geeenwashed, false advertising which manipulates and takes advantage of the buyer. I am blown away to see the lies which are now common within this small market space now and the fancy words to upswell a product. This has broken my heart and makes me sick.

I have felt a tension within the doula world. Serving as a doula is wonderful, “competition” in the doula community is not.
This is a huge topic, but boils down to an ugly truth or underbelly on the souls community.
In the past three years I have had more doulas than I can say purchase my work, lie about what it is to their customer, take off my branding, and upsell it with their name on it.
💔
Three years ago myself and family were blessed with the privilege of committing to a sustainable and self sufficient life style.
So here is where I find myself.
I am so lucky living my dream life…but have an internal conflict with the market space of belly binds which makes me recoils from it. Hence why I have been so quiet here. I will remain in my business philosophy of transparency, honesty, and joy in what I am creating.
I am finding path in navigating this new business market space while staying true to myself and business philosophy. It has taken a ton of mental/emotional work and processing.
I apologize for not being “here” as much.
I am still here. In Instagram world I am regular in sharing on our homestead account
I love you all.
