This post is going to be a hot mess, but if you're new here...that's pretty on brand. Nothing on my page is curated and I sincerely DGAF.
I've been pretty quiet in what is seemingly terrible timing with the giveaway ending. I should have been hyping it up far more than I did these last few days. I was lucky to at least have had some scheduled posts to close it out.
We lost the Matriarch of our family late last week. I just could not play pretend. The likes, the followers, the rah-rah stuff. Of course it is all great for the success of a business. But what is the purpose of success if it becomes more meaningful/worthy of your time than your real world relationships?
I've never been one to be fake, hide my struggles or only share highlight reels. Behind every single entrepreneur's profile is a real person with real life shlt going on. Some days are amazing. Top of the world!! Other days we are in a puddle of tears.
This last week was a stark reminder of that. I went from living some people's dream life - flitting around Mexico on an earned trip, laughing it up with amazing people...to coming home and just 3 days later living everyone's worst nightmare of losing a loved one.
I moved a handful of skin clients. I rescheduled lives with my new Travel Ambassadors. I canceled 2 personal appointments. If you know me, you'll know this in itself was so hard to do ~ I take immense pride in being on time, being respectful of others' time and *always* showing up.
But I needed to just...not. And I know (hope) my people understand.
I don't even really know the point of this rambling other than to just remind you that life is happening to ALL of us. Social media is this wild and weird place where it looks like everyone has their life together. I'm here to promise you...they fkn don't.
I'm also here to remind you that it is ok to be real, raw and even vulnerable. One of my favorite books ever is Dare To Lead by Brene Brown. One of her quotes from this book is "You can't get to courage without rumbling with vulnerability"
I'll end it at that. If you've made it this far, thank you for being here ❤️
