I sold my business before it killed me.
That sounds dramatic, but anyone who has experienced burnout will understand exactly what I mean.
For years I poured everything I had into different jobs and then my own business. My time, my energy, my creativity, my weekends, my relationships, my health. I loved it, and I am incredibly proud of what I built.
But somewhere along the way, I stopped looking after myself.
I kept pushing.
Kept showing up.
Kept telling myself that after the next busy season, the next event, the next holiday, I’d slow down.
I never did.
The hardest part about selling isn’t leaving the business. It’s letting go of the version of myself that fought so hard to build it.
This business gave me confidence, purpose, friendships, lessons, opportunities and memories I’ll carry forever. It changed my life.
When I bought this business, I had absolutely no idea what I was doing. I took a leap of faith, backed myself, and figured it out as I went. There were challenges, mistakes, tears, wins, and plenty of moments where I questioned myself.
But together, we’ve grown this little business into something I’m incredibly proud of.
To every customer, supporter, staff member, friend and family member who believed in me along the way thank you. Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, cheering me on and choosing to shop local. I truly couldn’t have done it without you.
Now it’s time for a different chapter.
A chapter where healing is the priority.
Where happiness matters.
Where success isn’t measured by how exhausted I am at the end of the day.
And while there’s a lot of sadness and tears in closing this chapter, there’s also excitement.
Because for the first time in a very long time, I’m choosing myself.
I’m also incredibly excited to watch Gayette bloom into this next chapter. There is nobody I’d trust more to take over something I’ve poured so much of my heart and soul into, and I can’t wait to see where she takes it.
Thank you for being part of my journey.
This isn’t goodbye.
It’s simply the end of one chapter and the beginning of another. ❤️
