I’m writing this at my kitchen table reflecting not only on the week that’s just been but the 5 years since we started our small business. 5 years on since we stuck the first fork in the ground, Imposter Syndrome is still a very loud voice sat on my shoulder (I suspect the megaphone social media has provided it hasn’t helped) but I am more conscious now that it is only a thought in my head and not reality. Sitting down to write this my head was actually juggling thoughts over seedlings that needed transplanting, flowers that needed deheading, a polytunnel that needed feeding, succession seeds to be sowed, flowers beds to be weeded….the list went on, resulting in a feeling of overwhelm with too much focus on the‘what’s not going so well’. Pausing to create this reel is a reminder for me as much as sharing with you all, that in amongst all the chaos there are some lovely moments to be grateful for and not to give the impression that every thing is perfect. Next time Imposter Syndrome bellows in my ear as I scroll through my Instagram feed, I will be reminding myself that there will be a hidden world of chaos and imperfection happening behind the scenes of nearly all the beautifully curated reels that have caught my eye and potentially made me wrongly judge my own progress.
