š„ This is my "If Youāre New Here" confession. š„
My life has been a genuine, unhinged, 18-month ROLLER COASTER, and I am choosing to share the whole messy ride.
Iām the human behind Riot Printz and Gifts, and if you follow me, you know this space is all about VULNERABILITY, ADHD AWARENESS, and Mental Health.
But the purpose? It's turning that messy reality into creative products that bring people genuine joy!
Here's the quick download since April 2024:
⢠Closed the Doors: Said the toughest goodbye to my incredible three-year-old brick-and-mortar gift shop in Nebraska. Losing that business felt like losing an appendage. š
⢠Massive Leap: Packed up everything and moved across the country to Florida. No looking backājust forward, with a lot of tears and moving boxes.
⢠The Sacrifice: This is tough to share, but the reality of losing my job recently means we won't be able to go home to Nebraska for the holidays this year. It's a huge financial and emotional blow, but it fuels my need to make this business thrive.
⢠New Life, New Chaos: Iām now fiercely focused on relaunching my business while simultaneously homeschooling my kids. (Send caffeine and good juju)
⢠Finding My Tribe: My new, wonderful, intense Florida family is my Roller Derby Team! They saved my sanity. (Ask me about the bruises sometime.)
My brain is a beautiful mess. My life is a beautiful mess. And my brand is built on being transparent about bothābecause the world needs more real talk and more JOY.
Drop a comment and tell me: What's one thing you are juggling right now that you didn't think you could handle?
Let's normalize the chaos together! š
