In 2023, I left the corporate world.
A world of meetings, targets, deadlines and constantly being “on”.
At the time, I thought leaving would mean I’d escaped the busyness.
Spoiler: running your own business is also busy. 😂
But somewhere along the way, I realised something important.
Life doesn’t magically become less busy.
There will always be another deadline.
Another email.
Another thing on the to-do list.
Another reason to say, “maybe next time.”
And if we keep waiting until life calms down to do the things we enjoy…
We might be waiting forever.
That’s one of the reasons I now run intimate supper clubs for a maximum of 20 people.
Not because people need another event to attend.
But because sometimes we need to deliberately give ourselves permission to step away from everyday life.
To put something in the diary.
To turn the phone off.
To sit around a table with people we might not have met before.
To eat good food.
And remember what it feels like to just… be.
Leaving corporate taught me that I didn’t want to spend my whole life waiting for the weekend, my annual leave or retirement to enjoy myself.
And I don’t think we should wait for life to become less busy either.
Sometimes you just have to say yes to yourself.
My next supper club is on 18th September at Langley Tracks.
Local, seasonal food, candlelight, beautiful surroundings and the option to add a sauna.
Just 20 spaces.
Maybe this is your sign to put something in the diary that is purely for you.
