Moving slower these days. 🐢 Not because I’ve lost momentum but because I finally understand how much my body and nervous system have carried.
It took stepping away from my facial studio and choosing to move in a new direction, after pouring so much of myself into that space to finally see it. The constant hustle. The masks I wore… mom, partner, daughter, sister, entrepreneur, esthetician, helper, student, teacher, overachiever, the strong one, perfectionist, people-pleaser.
Some of those roles are still part of my life and meaningful to me. But somewhere along the way, they became masks. They took over my identity. And the others like people-pleasing and overachieving were never really me at all. They were survival.
Now, I’m choosing to meet the version of me that exists underneath all of it. The version that was buried under expectation, pressure, and constant doing.
The truth is, I didn’t always have the space or the privilege to slow down. Survival doesn’t leave much room for that. But now, for the first time in a long time, I’m in a place where I can finally breathe, nourish, rebuild, and reconnect with myself and not just the masks.
My online shop is still open, and I have beautiful content and offerings that will be shared in time. But right now, I’m learning how to do this differently. No more burning myself out to prove anything. No more deadlines. Just building with steadiness, at my own pace.
Thank you for being here. 🤍
