Last month I took a pause and because I have developed new connections with total strangers - turned friends - I thought I would share the social media post that co-created these relationships. I had no intentions of addressing the break at all, but I did and once again, I am shown the importance of being real + vulnerable. We are all doing the best we can. I would love to hear how you have taken time for yourself to soak in the now.
“Hi friends!
It’s been a minute since I’ve been on social media. As someone who tries to post every day and use this amazing tool to connect with my friends, my radio silence was noticed by you all. I have received an overwhelming amount of messages asking if I was ok and if I need anything. I greatly appreciate the messages and laugh when I am asked if I’m “busy working on organizing my closet?” (Baby steps ) But, yes, I am ok.
Truthfully, I needed to pause.
This life feels fast, doesn’t it? From the mama emotions at the end of the school year as we transition to Jr. High to the significant losses of loved ones to growth in my Monat business to fun news about my book to Nash’s Confections to the launch of my webinar series to everything in between - it was eventfully overwhelming for any one person.
Life, right!?
I have come such a long way in the three weeks that I intentionally stepped back. I gave focus to the parts of my life right in front of me - begging my inner peace to take priority - and could see everything won’t fall apart when I rest. We can all use a pause. The spiritual, mental and emotional clarity is priceless when we take care of ourselves.
A special thank you to my dear friend, Leah. Had she not pushed me to unapologetically take time for myself, I would 100% be burnt out. Don’t get me wrong, I had anxiety about stepping back from all that I do, but it has been one of the best decisions for myself, my family and my business.
As I lean just a little bit longer into this time, I’m feeling more inspired when I think forward to my community and business. I am excited to reconnect in a couple weeks and hear all about your lives! I’ve missed so much without browsing my feeds!”
